Hey! I want to make an Ethernet cable for custom length size. I have already bought Cat 5e cables in bulk and RJ45 connectors. Now, can anybody help me by telling how to crimp RJ45 connector?
Since, the pre-made Ethernet cables are expensive to purchase in case you need a lot of them. So, it’s better that you if you can make it at home by yourself. Here’s all that you need for your help:
ï‚· Purchase the Cat 5e cable and RJ45 crimpable connectors in bulk.
ï‚· Also, buy a RJ45 Crimping Tool.
ï‚· Now, to make a standard cable, firstly, cut out the plastic cover from the end of the Cat 5e. You can use the razor blade for this purpose.
ï‚· Now, unwind the different coloured wires and pair the similar ones.
ï‚· Next, straighten the wires and arrange them in the order shown below.
 Use scissors to shorten them about ½ inches.
ï‚· Now, push all the 8 wires into the connector carefully. The result should look like this exactly.
ï‚· Lastly, using a crimping tool, lock the sleeves for a tight compression fit, and the end product is ready to use.

ï‚· Repeat the steps for the other end of the cable.
