1️⃣ Dialogue: Asking About Cable Jacket Length
You: Hey, I’m about to crimp this UTP cable, but I’m not sure how much of the jacket I should strip.
Classmate: Good question. You should strip about 1 to 1.5 inches of the jacket.
You: Got it. That should expose enough wire for arranging the colors, right?
Classmate: Exactly. Just make sure the wires stay flat and in order before crimping.
2️⃣ Advice for Troubleshooting a Crimped Cable
- You should check if the wires are in the correct color order according to the standard (T568A or T568B).
- Why don’t you test the cable using a cable tester to see if all the pins are connected properly?
- I think you need to inspect the RJ-45 connector to make sure the wires reached the end and were crimped tightly.
3️⃣ Paragraph: Advice About a Damaged Crimping Tool
- Are you sure it’s okay to use that crimping tool? It looks a bit worn out.
