Step 1
With the release of Microsoft's Windows 7, many of us will be up grading our computers, printers, and networks. This will be the perfect opportunity to change some of the older cables we've all been using, but instead of spending large amounts of money you can following the steps below and make your own.
You will first need to obtain the materials that include cable, RJ-45 connectors, a crimper and wire stripper. You can find most of these items at your local office supply store or even on the all knowing internet.
# Step 2
You will need to lay out the wires on a flat surface. Then you will need to trim the wres all to the same lenght with a pair of wire cutters.
Insert the wires into the RJ-45 connector, ensuring that the connector is oriented the correct way, with the tab facing away when you insert th wires, with the first pair of wires, blue and white/blue,going toconnectors 4 and 5 inside the RJ-45 connector, and connect the blue wire to connectgor 4 and white/blue wire to connector 5.
# Step 3
Make sure the second pair of wires goes to connectors 1 and 2 and connect the white/orange wire to connector 1 and the orange wire to connector 2.
Make sre the third pair goes to connectors 3 and 6 and connec the white/green wire to connector 3 and the green wire to connector 6.
Make sure the fourth pair goes to connectors 7 and 8 and connect the white/brown wire to connector 7 and brown wire to connector 8.
Make sure a portion of the cable jacket is inside the connector.
Insert the RJ-45 connector into the crimping tool and crimp the connector to the wires.
Test the installation by pulling the cable and connector in opposite directions to make sure your work does not come loose.
Repeat this process on the other end of the cable and you have made your first network cable.
