6.1.3 Installing RJ-45 Connectors
The following procedures are designed to help you install RJ-45 connectors correctly.
Clear-Com recommends that the work is tested with a cable checker. When you are
installing RJ-45 connectors, wires can slip out of the correct order as the prepared cable end
is inserted into the connector.
The shorter, general procedure for avoiding this issue is as follows:
1. Strip enough jacket off the cable to be able to grasp the wires and pull the jacket
back.
2. Untwist the wires and pull them into the correct order and let the jacket slip back to
hold them in place.
3. If this is done correctly, the wires will stay in the correct order. Trim exposed wires to
about 9/16 in. (14.28mm) and install into the connector.
