ASSEMBLE THE TELECOM CABLES

For testing and troubleshooting the tester, you need to assemble straight and cross-pinning cables.

For cutting, stripping, and crimping, use a standard tool for RJ-45 plugs (flat cable).

ELENCO

®

has modular crimping tools Models ST-500 and HT-568.

r Cut the 2’ telecom cable in half (see Figure 12).
r Using the instructions for your tool, make two

cables (straight and cross-pinning) as shown in
Figures 13 - 15. Make sure that you make a
clean cut on the cable.
