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
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.
