1. Gather the necessary materials: a network cable, RJ45 Crimper, Ethernet Cable Stripper and RJ45 connectors.
2. Cut the network cable to the desired length.
3. Strip off roughly 1 inch of the outer insulation from each end of the cable.
4. Insert the individual wires into the RJ45 connector. If the cable is a “straight-through” cable, the wire order should be arranged so that the same colored wires are positioned next to each other.
5. Use the Ethernet Cable Stripper to cut away any excess insulation from the wires and ensure that the individual wires are all the same length.
6. Place the RJ45 connector into the RJ45 Crimper, and squeeze firmly to secure the connector to the network cable.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 to create the other end of the cable.
8. Test the cable with a cable tester to make sure the connection is working properly.
