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.
7. Place the wired plug into the crimping tool. Give the handle a firm squeeze. You
should hear a ratcheting noise as you continue. Once you have completed the
crimp, the handle will reset to the open position. To ensure all pins are set, some
prefer to double-crimp by repeating this step.
8. Repeat all of the above steps with the other end of the cable. Test the cable to
ensure that it will function in the field. Mis-wired and incomplete network cables
