Getting Started
Unpacking the CTK400LAN
This package should contain:
1 x Remote Cable Tester (in own carrying case, same as StarTech.com’s LANTESTPRO)
1 x Combo Crimper (same as StarTech.com’s RJ4511TOOL)
1 x Punch Down Tool
1 x Stripping Tool
30 x RJ11 Connectors
30 x RJ45 Connectors
24 x Boots for Cable Ends (various colors)
2 x Blades for Punch Down Tool
1 x Carrying Case
Building a Cable
1. Use the Combo Crimping tool to trim both ends of the cables by using the blade
closest to the handle. Be sure that both ends are cut square.
2. Use the trimming blade to strip the jacket off both ends of the cable. thus exposing the
individual color coded conductors.
3. Remove a length of jacket so that, when conductors are pushed all the way to the
front of the connectors, the jacket extends under the slot on the connector where the
crimping operation will hold it for strain relief.
4. Insert the conductors into the RJ45/RJ11 connector so that the blue conductor goes to
pin 1.
