How to crimp a power outlet

Compression of a computer outlet of the Cat 5e format:

Crimping of a computer outlet

circuit The principle of crimping a computer outlet does not differ from similar operations with a twisted pair. However, there are nuances that depend on the color of the insulation, so the circuit looks like this:
Connection colors for connection

Before you crimp and install the outlet, you need to identify the location of the enclosure. For the internal socket, the case snaps into place, so it should be placed in the most convenient place for the technician.

With an external socket near the box, it is attached to several screws or double-sided tape. Then, from the twisted pair remove the braid and unplug the wiring. Then it is necessary to expand them in color, and after pressing to the characteristic click of the tool( extractor).As a result, you get a neatly fixed wire twisted pair at the end of the groove.

Extractor crimps the cable

The crimping takes place in the following sequence:

  1. Cutting the end of the cable with a torch to the crimping tool
  2. Stripping the wire from the wire that is placed in the crimp extractor
  3. Shortening the wires to 1.5 cm and aligning them one level
  4. Placing the conductor in the connector and checking the input andfixing the wire in the
  5. connector The
  6. connector is inserted into the crimping device. The clamp is clamped to the extent that the connector contacts tighten the cable conductors.

If you can not get a cross knife, it is possible to do without it, the main thing is that the length of the wire is sufficient.

In this case, the use of a patch cord is not appropriate.

In large rooms, you can simply place a long wire with crimped RJ 45 connectors on the main wire, but without using a 5E patch socket.

Checking the crimp connection

To find out how well you cut the cable, you can by placing it in the switch HAB.If it works, it means that everything is done as it should.

Hub for testing the performance of the cable

In addition, in the computer market, there are quite a lot of testers of different price categories that can test the twisted pair for efficiency. Moreover, they work on the same principle, so there is no reason to overpay.

Tester for testing twisted pair

The photo shows a tester that is equipped with a transmitter and a receiver connected via the two connectors listed above( RJ 45 and Cat 5e).This device shows which wires are twisted, exchanged in pairs, except for this, it also checks the integrity of the wiring. If the connection is correct, the receiver alternately lights up with different LED colors.

How to connect a socket for 8 wires

To connect the socket you only need a flat screwdriver and a thin knife.

The cable sheath is removed no more than three centimeters, then unwind the wiring by 15 mm. According to the scheme wiring is placed in the comb with a screwdriver, and after knife until it stops. With a special desire, two wires of a twisted pair are placed in one socket( but when they are combined).

Disadvantage of dual connection: low data transfer rate.

sockets An effective wire locking in the socket provides a tool for compacting the wire to a depth that is the maximum for the socket. Such a tool can make a normal tweezers or a thin screwdriver. There is no need to clean the wires for driving into the terminals, since there are special cuts in the socket that clean them from insulation.

Then, pull the cable to the socket module. In doing so, it is also cleaned 3 cm from the main insulation, and unwind wires are 1.5 cm.

Now you need to fix the cable with a tie on the device board. Get rid of the protruding cable ties.

Please note that on each circuit there are notes, which cable and where to attach. For this purpose, a plate is provided, as in the next photo.

Cabling Annotations

Attach the box with the outlet to the screw or double-sided adhesive tape.

To remove the cover of the outlet, it is enough to press both sides of the box with your fingers and it will open.

See how compression occurs in practice, you can on video.

In conclusion, I would like to wish success in the repair, and observe the safety precautions!
