Terminating an Outdoor Network Cable with Shielded RJ45 Connectors
Prepare an outdoor network cable
Prepare the following tools.
and shielded RJ45 connectors.
RJ45 connector crimping tool
1.
Core wire
2.
Aluminum foil
3.
Braid shield
4.
Outer jacket
5.
Shielded RJ45 connector
Diagonal pliers
Insert the arranged core wires into an RJ45 connector according to the pin
assignments and crimp the connector with the crimping tool.
Crimp the RJ45
connector.
Pin assignments of an RJ45 connector
•Before crimping, ensure that the core wires are fully inserted in the RJ45
connector.
•Use the crimping tool to crimp the connector with force.
•After crimping, verify that the connector has been crimped tightly.
Optional: Use a multimeter to measure the impedance of core wires. The impedance
8
difference between core wires must be less than 5%.

When stripping off the outer jacket, take care not to damage the braid shield
or aluminum foil.
Cut off the exposed braid shield and materials
along the edge of the connector.

Strip off the braid shield and cut
the aluminum foil and unwanted
materials.
Cut the core wires neatly.
Terminate a connector on the other end of the network cable, and then test the cable
for continuity using a network cable tester.
