AIM:-
Study of RJ45 and CAT6 Cabling and connection using crimping
tool.
THEORY:-
RJ45:-
The eight-pin RJ45 connector is a standardised interface which often
connects a computer to a local area network (LAN). This type of
connector was originally developed for telephone communications but
is now used in a range of applications. The abbreviation, RJ45, stands
for Registered Jack-45. Registered jack specifications are related to
the wiring patterns of the jacks, rather than their physical
characteristics. The term RJ45 has also come to refer to a range of
connectors for Ethernet jacks. An 8 Position/8 Contact connector,
called an 8P8C, is a modular connector for telecommunication cables.
It is also informally referred to as an RJ45.
CAT6 Cable:-
A Category 6 cable (Cat 6 cable) is a type of twisted pair cable
standard used specifically in gigabit (Gb) Ethernet-based computer
networks. In 2002, it was jointly defined and specified by the
Electronics Industries Association and Telecommunication Industries
Association (EIA/TIA).
The Cat 6 cable is fully backward compatible with previous versions,

such as the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cabling standards.
A Cat 6 cable is used mainly for computer networks reaching a Gb,

1000 Mbps or one Gbps of data transfer speed (DTR) or higher.
Characteristics are as follows:
 Consists of four pairs of copper wires, which are all utilized for
data transfer
 Provides bandwidth of 250 MHz, speed up to 10 Gbps and may
be stretched to 100 meters in length
 Provides more enhanced crosstalk and attenuation protection
than its previous twisted pair cable versions.
The Cat 6 cable is supported by Ethernet networks, including

10BaseT, 100Base-TX, 1000 Base-T and 10 GBase-T.
Crimping:-
Crimping is joining two or more pieces of metal or
other ductile material by deforming one or both of them to hold the
other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp.
What is a Crimping Tool?
A crimping tool is a device that is used to make cold weld joints

between wires and a connector through deforming one or both of them
to hold the other. A special connector is used to join metals together.
The weld joint properties (mechanical and electrical) are strong as the
parent materials when the tool works and offer some result, which is
known as crimp. An instance of crimping is to affixing a connector to
the end of a wire. For example, a crimping tool is used to create phone
cable sand network cables to combine RJ-11 and RJ-45 connectors to
both ends of the phone or Cat 5 cable. The below picture is an example
of RJ-11 (6-pin) and RJ-45 (8-pin) crimping tools.
PROCEDURE:-
STEP 1:-
Using a Crimping Tool, trim the

end of the cable you're
terminating, to ensure that the
ends of the conducting wires are
even.
STEP 2:-
Being careful not to damage the inner conducting wires, strip off
approximately 1 inch of the cable's jacket, using a modular
crimping tool or a UTP cable stripper.
STEP 3:-
Separate the 4 twisted wire pairs from

each other, and then unwind each
pair, so that you end up with 8
individual wires. Flatten the wires
out as much as possible, since they'll
need to be very straight for proper
insertion into the connector
STEP 4:-
Holding the cable with the wire ends facing away from you.
Moving from left to right, arrange the wires in a flat, side-by-
side ribbon formation, placing them in the following order:
white/orange, solid orange, white/green, solid blue,
white/blue, solid green, white/brown, solid brown.
STEP 5:-
Holding the RJ45 connector so that its pins

are facing away from you and
the plug-clip side is facing
down, carefully insert the
flattened, arranged wires into
the connector, pushing through
until the wire ends emerge
from the pins. For strength of connection,
also push as much of the cable jacket as
possible into the connector.
STEP 6:-
Check to make sure that the wire ends coming

out of the connector's pin side are in the
correct order; if not, remove them
from the connector, rearrange into
proper formation, and re-insert.
Remember, once the connector is
crimped onto the cable, it's
permanent. If you realize that a mistake has
been made in wire order after termination,
you'll have to cut the connector off and start
all over again!
STEP 7:-
Insert the prepared connector/cable
assembly into the RJ45 slot in your
crimping tool. Firmly
squeeze the crimper's
handles together until
you can't go any further.
Release the handles and
repeat this step to ensure a proper crimp.
STEP 8:-
If your crimper doesn't automatically trim the

wire ends upon termination,
carefully cut wire ends to make
them as flush with the
connector's surface as possible.
The closer the wire ends are
trimmed, the better your final
plug-in connection will be.
STEP 9:-
After the first termination is complete, repeat process on

the opposite end of your cable
CONCLUSION:-
Thus, we have studied the use of crimping tool for RJ-45.
