Tip 1: How to compress a patch cord
Want to connect two computers to the network? Then you just need the ability to squeeze the patch cord! Of course, you can always buy ready at the nearest electronics store, but it's not so interesting and not always convenient. So, we learn to compress the patch cord.
You will need
- Cable "Twisted Pair of the Right Length"
- Crimping pliers
- Two RJ-45 plugs
- Sharp knife
Instructions
1
First of all, it is necessary to understand what typeCrimp you need cross (cross) or straight. The difference between these types of crimping is that the cross-over is used to connect two computers or laptops, but a straight line for connecting the computer and the switch. It is worth noting that almost all the new models of network cards are able to independently "translate" the direct type into a cross type and, probably, you will be able to do a direct crimp in any case, but it's worthwhile to hedge.
2
We do a direct crimp. It is made a little easier cross-over, because both ends of the cable will be the same. Remove the upper insulation from both ends of the cable with a sharp knife at a distance of 2-3 cm from the edges. Be careful not to damage the thin colored wires.
3
Then it is necessary to compile these same entries intothe row in the following sequence (from the left to the right): • white-orange • orange • white-green • blue • white-blue • green • white-brown • brownEdge and remove the excess leaving 1cm of colored wires in a row.
4
Take the RJ-45 plug by snap-action mechanism toand carefully insert the cable into it. Colored wires should reach the metal plugs of the plug. Also, make sure that the cable insulation has reached the latch assigned to it, otherwise your patch cord will turn out to be extremely unreliable and will not last long.
5
Recheck the correctnesssequence of color wires and squeeze the cable using special crimping pliers. If you do not have one, you can use a thin flat screwdriver, pushing each metal contact on the plug in turn. This method requires a certain skill and is not so good.
6
Repeat the same manipulations with the second end of the cable. Remember that with straight crimping, the sequence of colored wires at both ends is the same.
7
We do cross crimping. First, squeeze one end of the cable as described earlier by a straight-forward method. The difference lies in the second end of the twisted pair. The sequence of the colored wires here will be the following (also from the left to the right): • white-green • green • white-orange • blue • white-blue • orange • white-brown • brown.
Tip 2: How to compress a patch cord
The patch-cord Is a kind of network cable, on both sides of which there are special connectors. Use a patch-cords for connecting computers and other devices to network equipment.
You will need
- - LAN-connectors;
- - swage;
- - Flat screwdriver.
Instructions
1
For self-crimping patch-cordand recommend using a special tool - crimping pliers, or "crimp." Prepare the right number of LAN connectors in advance. Most often used parts of the RJ45 format.
2
Cut the network cable to get the patch-cord of the desired length. Remove the protective tape. Clean the inside of the cable from the insulation. Bare 3-4 cm of veins. If you removed too much protective sheath, cut the cable again. The absence of this tape can lead to a rapid deterioration of the network cable.

Make sure that each wire is in the correctphase. Close the connector, but do not snap it. Insert the connector into the crimp and connect the tool handles. If you hear a click, then the connector is ready for use. Repeat this procedure with the other end of the network cable.
5
If you need to create a direct connectioncomputer-computer, it is necessary to slightly change the location of the cores in one of the connectors. Those. one end of the cable is crimped by the standard method, as described above.

If you do not have swaging, thenuse a flathead screwdriver. Gently push the copper strands into the required grooves. Try not to damage the wires. This will negatively affect the quality of the network.
