Figure 26: Ethernet Connector Pin Assignments

Use a crimp tool for RJ-45 connectors to prepare the wires, insert them into the appropriate pins and use the crimp tool to crimp the connector. Make sure to do the following:

a)Remove as small a length as possible of the external jacket. Verify that the external jacket is well inside the service box to ensure good sealing.

b)Take back the shield drain wire before inserting the cable into the RJ-45 connector, to ensure a good connection with the connector’s shield after crimping.
