Crimp tool
A crimping tool is a device
used to conjoin two pieces
of metal by deforming one
or both in a way that causes
them to hold each other.
The result of the tool's work
is called a crimp.
RJ45
RJ45 (telecommunications), a standard
for a physical interface between
customer wiring and telephone
company wiring
RJ45 (computers), a commonly-used
name for the 8P8C modular connector
used in Ethernet and other data links
UTP Cable
Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two
conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for
the purposes of improving electromagnetic
compatibility. Compared to a single conductor or an
untwisted balanced pair, a twisted pair
reduces electromagnetic, crosstalk between
neighbouring pairs and improves rejection of
external electromagnetic interference.
Punch down Tool
A punch down tool, also called a punch down tool or
a krone tool (named after the KRONE LSA-
PLUS connector), is a small tool used
by telecommunication and network technicians. It is
used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement
connectors on punch down blocks, patch
panels, keystone modules, and surface mount boxes
(also known as biscuit jacks).

How to Splice/crimp
a twisted pair
cable?
Cable Splicing
Step 1
Step 2
Strip back the cable jacket approximately 1 inch.
Use the cutter provided with the crimping tool
or strip by hand. Be careful not to nick the
individual wires. Un-twist each of the 4 pairs
and straighten each wire as much as
possible between the fingers.
Cable Splicing
Step 3
Use the 568-B wiring scheme on both
ends for a standard patch cable.
Cable Splicing
Step 5
With the connector pins facing up, carefully
insert the wires into the connector. Apply a
moderate amount of force in order to properly
seat the wires against the contacts in the
connector.
Cable Splicing
Step 6
Observe the tip of the connector to confirm that
all the wires are fully inserted.
The end of each wire you should be in full view.
There should be enough of the cable jacket
inside the connector to crimp against.
Step 8
Place the connector into the crimp tool, and
squeeze hard so that the handle reaches its full
swing.
Cable Splicing
Step 9
Repeat the process on the other end using the
desired wiring scheme.
Be sure to slide the snag less boots snugly over
the connectors when finished.
Always use a cable tester to check for continuity,
opens and shorts.
