Ethernet connector: RJ45

Preparation of the cable

• push the cable gland and the connector case onto the cable.
• strip 30mm of the insulation from the cable.
• cut the shield mesh to 8mm and pull it back over the cable mantle.
• remove all other filling materials, shield strands, plastic wires etc..

• align the single wires acc. to the pin assignment next to each other.
• cut the wires angular to ease the feed into the inlet guide(ca.45°).

Assembly of the connector

• feed the wires into the inlet guide according the pinning.
• pull the guide over the wires until the cut-out reaches the cable mantle. 
• check if all wires are in the correct position.
• cut the wires rectangular to 5mm.

• pull the guide back to the end of the cable until only 1mm stays over.

• push the cable from the backside into the RJ45 connector with the guide . If the cable will not fit into the RJ45 due to its thickness, you can use an edgeless  tool to flatten it to feed it into the connector.
• Crimp the cable, when the guide is in its stop position.

Pin assignment of the RJ45 connector

Note: There is no standardized color setting for the wires!
