3. Untwist the pairs so they will lay flat between your fingers. The white piece of
thread can be cut off even with the jacket and disposed (see Warnings). For
easier handling, cut the wires so that they are 3/4" (19 mm) long from the base of
the jacket and even in length.
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.
