4. Arrange the wires in the following order (from left to right):
• white/orange
• orange
• white/green
• blue
• white/blue
• green
• white/brown
• brown
5. Press all the wires flat and parallel between your thumb and forefinger. Verify the colors
have remained in the correct order. Cut the top of the wires even with one another so that
they are 1/2" (12.5 mm) long from the base of the jacket, as the jacket needs to go into
the 8P8C connector by about 1/8", meaning that you only have a 1/2" of room for the
individual cables. Leaving more than 1/2" untwisted can jeopardize connectivity and
quality. Ensure that the cut leaves the wires even and clean; failure to do so may cause
the wire not to make contact inside the jack and could lead to wrongly guided cores inside
the plug.
6. Keep the wires flat and in order as you push them into the RJ-45 plug with the flat surface
of the plug on top. The white/orange wire should be on the left if you're looking down at
the jack. You can tell if all the wires made it into the jack and maintain their positions by
looking head-on at the plug. You should be able to see a wire located in each hole, as
seen at the bottom right. You may have to use a little effort to push the pairs firmly into
the plug. The cabling jacket should also enter the rear of the jack about 1/4" (6 mm) to
help secure the cable once the plug is crimped. You may need to stretch the sleeve to the
proper length. Verify that the sequence is still correct before crimping.
