Ethernet Cable Wholesale, Terminating, and Testing

Techvision USA is proud to be your go-to CCTV and security bulk supply, for everything from cameras to access console to ethernet cable wholesale.  As you may know, the best way to get networking supplies like cat5 e or cat6 is to purchase ethernet cable wholesale through a supplier like TechVision USA. when you purchase cable wholesale, it does not come prefabricated and must be terminated. Wile many contractors are likely familiar with this process, its a good idea to understand the basics and a refresher course is always a good idea.

After you purchase your Ethernet Cable Wholesale, you’ll need to terminate it on site. You’re going to need a few tools, make sure you possess the following:

  • Cat 5or Cat 6 cable
  • Wire cutters/ snippers
  • Wire strippers/crimper tool
  • Rj45 Heads for the cables
  • Tester
  • A ballpoint can be very helpful and will show you why.

Though there are important differences between cat5e and cat6, terminating the cables is the same. The following guide can be used in either case.   

  1.  Trim the Jacket, and Strip The wire
    Using the stripper/crimper remove the outer jacket – or rubber insulation – from about three inches off either end of the cable
    If you didn’t trim far enough, you can pull down on the fibers found inside the cable to safely tear the jacket further without using the crimper/cutter or damaging the wires. When you have the length you need, trim the fibers and the jacket off. Do this for both ends of the cable. If you have cat 6, there will be a spline here You can gently tug on the spline to reveal the bottom-most accessible portion and trim it from there. This ensures the spline is inside slightly further.
  2. Detangle The Twisted Pairs
    Each pair of cables needs to be untwisted, this can be done by hand like so. However, there is a nice technique, using the pen we mentioned earlier, that can help you accomplish this faster, and neater. Untwist just slightly at the base of the twisted pair. Then insert the tip of the ballpoint pen. While gently pinching the cables together just above the pen tip, begin to slide the pen up with a mild amount of pressure.  As you can see in the video the result is a separated cable that is far more straightened than simply using your hands. As before do this for both ends of the cable.
  3.  Properly Align and Order The Wires
    From here on out, know that although these steps need to be done at both ends of the cable, its okay and expected to do one side at a time, from trimming to crimping. The now exposed wires are going to be trimmed at the tip to reveal a bit of the internal metal wire and then inserted in a very specific order into the Rj45 head. This order is called the T568b Standard for wiring, we will display this info below, and on-screen in the video.First, based on the T568B standard, flatten the wires next to each other in a row, and order the wires from left to right as follows:
  4.  Flatten and Trim the Wires
    Once the cables are flattened and in order, as you see here, trim them down using a wire cutter or snipper to approximately ¼ “ in length.
  5.  Insert into RJ45
    Insert the cables, very carefully into an RJ-45 head. Check to ensure each wire is inside one of the small channels, and, that each cables metal wiring tip reaches the end of the rj45 head to contact the metal inside.
  6.  It’s Crimping time!
    Insert the cable and head into the crimping tool as you see. Squeeze 2xs to be sure.

Repeat steps 3-6 for the other end of the cable.

Once completed you can use a cable tested to check continuity, we also carry this handy tool as well.
