Please log in for more thread options Hey At http://www.siemon.com there used to be some pretty cool videos on how to crimp and terminate various connections. Besides a crimper, a cable jacket stripper and a solid pair of scissors come in handy. I usually score (scratch) about 5cm of jacket and break it off. Undo the twist, straighten the connectors and aligned them according to T568-A or T568-B colour scheme as required. With the scissors i trim off the conductors at some 13mm away from the jacket and crimp. However, I prefer to use pre-fab multistrand patch cables. Brendon ++++ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
