Some cat5 cable does not have that string. I make these same terminations at work. Very good video. It is hard to explain to new employees the proper procedure and to follow print.

PS. Happy Holidays!!!

so many tools.. why use a scisor and splicer when the crimping tool has all of it.

[vegasnet]

It is my prerogative.There are many tools indeed! There are also a variety of ways or methods to accomplish this and other tasks. If you do not feel comfortable using sharp objects.. in this case "scissors", you are free to use a different method. Always use caution when using scissors, sharp blades, sharp objects or knives. Always use common sense and Safety First!

@SKarmytech red means the pair are reversed.

example: white-strip and brown one end is presented brown and white-strip brown to the other on 7 and 8 plug terminals..

[MrFryfish]

I think pair brown at one end is reversed! ;)
