How to crimp a RJ45 cable?
The RJ45 cable is a standard cable which has four twisted pairs of colors. It is easy to crimp a RJ45 cable and make it into a straight cable or cross the cable as required. To make a straight cable, the ends must be crimped in the same way at each end. When making a crossover cable, some wires of certain colors have to be reversed. Learning how to crimp a RJ45 cable and making straight and cross cables prove to be useful as different types of wires of varied lengths are required to build a network.

What you need?
A reasonable length FTP cable
Two RJ45 tips
A clip crimping Tool

How to proceed?
Strip the cable to 2 cm at each end and separate the strands.

They are usually divided into 4 twisted pairs of colors:

Orange / orange-white
Green / green-white
Blue / white and blue
Brown / brown-white
Making a straight cable
To make a straight cable, the tips must be crimped typically the same way at each end by respecting the twisted pair size.

In general, the code used is:

1) orange-white
2) orange
3) green-white
4) Blue
5) blue-white
6) Green
7) brown-white
8) brown
Making a crossover cable

For a crossover cable, swap 1 with 3, and 2 with 6, in the list above. This gives:

1) green-white
2) green
3) orange and white
4) Blue
5) blue-white
6) orange
7) brown-white
8) brown
