How To: Terminate an RJ45 Connector onto Cat 5 ethernet cabling

I was making some changes to my DSL Network in my shop today and had to make some specific sized ethernet cables. I figured I would film it and make a quick "How To" on terminating these RJ45's . They can be tricky but once you get the hang of it, theyr'e pretty easy.

8P8C, not RJ45...although basically the same connector, it is called 8P8C for data and RJ45 for phone

@ CrazyRay7979. Although you are correct you are splittig hairs here. If you tell any installer that you need an RJ45 connection installed they will know exactly what you are talking about. It's like saying you need a Kleenex when you actually need a tissue. You don't have to be such an arrogant dick about it...oh wait, yes you do. You're a whiney-ass union drone. There are companies that pay the same wages but don't tell you how to vote and what to do and keep lackeys like you on the payroll.

An RJ-45 is keyed, and an 8p8c modular connector is not.  A true RJ-45 plug won't fit into an 8p8c jack, but the opposite can happen. Do they even manufacture true RJ-45 anymore?

Congratulations, you just proved yourself to be a total moron...and I'm sure you work out of some non-union shop that only pays you $12/hr at less than 40 hours per week

@BLACKBINLATIN

What the hell is wrong with you? You are trying to argue over a FACT.

Obviously you didn't look up the definitions of "8P8C" and "RJ45" or you would have shut up by now

[BLACKBINLATIN]

@CrazyRay7979

so whats your point it looks like to me its the same shit this all started because you said 8P8C not RJ45 when clearly RJ45 is right so whats your point

[CrazyRay7979]

@BLACKBINLATIN

Wow, you're a complete idiot...look up the terms "8P8C" and then "RJ11" and you'll clearly see that

[BLACKBINLATIN]

@CrazyRay7979

what dont i know a RJ45 is an Ethernet and RJ11 is a Phone cable so tell me what dont i know? cause now your showing how much you dont know stop making your self look stupid

@BLACKBINLATIN
