#**what is the use of the RJ-45 cable?**

RJ-45 is the registered jack 45 it standard type of physical networking cable.
it is used as a connecter for ethernet connections and for networking mostly.

##**What is the advantages of this cable?**

It is mainly used in the office and networking-based rooms or computer labs to connect each device with the internet and transfer data. it provides a higher speed to transfer data or use the internet. 

##**which items were used to make the RJ-45 cable.**

To make the RJ-45 cable we need those list-outed tools  : 

1. UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) 

2. Modular connector (8P8C plug, aka RJ45) 

3. Crimping tool

4. Cable tester 

##**How can we make this connecter?**

We will make these cables step by step:


#**Step 1:**

#**❗❗❗❗❗     WARNING     ❗❗❗❗❗**

#**Please use the  sharp tools carefully ..**


- Take the UTP cable and Strip the cable back 1 inch (25 mm) from the end. 
To strip the cable use the Crimping tool or you can also use any object like Scissor or cuter or any blade razor or sharp material.


- After that, you will see the wires in that cable are in a color combination and twisted format.

##cut the cable as shown in this image :

#**Step 2:**

##Untwist the wires which are in the UTP cable. 


- If you will do step 1  after that you will see some wires are in the bunch are in twisted format. and cut out the small plastic as a core. 

- Separate those wires and straighten them out so they’re easier to sort into the right order with Help of your fingers.

- There will be 8 wires, arrange all in order.

- Now sort those small wires in-order or color code like :


1. white-orange 

2. orange 

3. white-green

4. blue 

5. white-blue 

6. green

7. white-brown 

8. brown

just be like :

#**Step 3:**



##Cut all in the same size and check that all are in order or not.

#**❗❗❗❗❗     WARNING     ❗❗❗❗❗**

#**Please use the  sharp tools carefully ..**

- Cut all wires in the same way and an even line 1⁄2 inch from the sheathing with the use of the Crimping tool.
 
**BE CAREFULLY WITH YOUR FINGERS❗❗❗❗DYUTING USING A CRIMPING TOOL❗❗❗❗**

#**Step 4:**

##Insert the cable into the RJ-45 connecter. 

- Before that get the connecter of RJ-45 and put the small wires into the connecter.

- The sheathing of the cable should fit just inside of the connector so it’s past the base.

- Insert the cable into the connector so that each of the small wires fits into the small grooves in the connector.

- Before crimp the connecter  Recheck, the wires connected with Grooves is successful or not???

#**Step 5:**

##Crimp the connecter.

- Put the connecter in the crimping part of the crimping tool, and if it was properly set,
 And just press hardly the crimping tool until all pins will push down.

- The crimping tool pushes small pins in the grooves down onto the wires to hold and connect them to the RJ-45 connector.

- Remove the cable from the tool and check that all of the pins are down.

#**Step 6:**

#check the pins.

- Remove the cable from the tool and check that all of the pins are down. Check whether the pins are connected properly or not to each other.


- Remove the cable from the tool and check that all of the pins are down.
