WARNING:
Tools are not insulated. Never use tools on live circuits. Wear eye protection

To Wire RJ45 Jacks (not included):
- Untwist and straighten the conductor wires.
- Insert conductors into the appropriate slots using the color coded wiring guide printed on the jack.
- Minimize the untwisted length on each conductor pair - no more than 1/2" (13mm).
- Use the 110-style punchdown tool to fully seat (punch down) the wires into the slots.
Oriented correctly, the tool will trim off the excess wire.
Note:
The jack will have a guide for T568A and B. All the cables in the facility should
be wired to the same standard to prevent miswires.
