Terminating external cat6

bertles86 · 23 Feb 2013 at 12:20

So I've just run external cat6 around the house from the router to the sky box.

I can't quite get the rj45s to terminate properly, it's not as easy as cat5.

I strip the cable back, and cut the centre plastic divider away, but can't get the strands aligned straight and in order...

Any tips?

No amount if googling has helped!

No, I'm using standard single piece RJ45.

Ah ha, no.

So I'll be needing some cat6 easy wires then!

Thanks guys, I think the two part rj45 will make it a lot easier. As to get them in the right order, you need to bend them around each other.
