hi I'm Michael welcome to ultimate tech
hub and today we're gonna make a cat5e
patch cable if you've ever made a cat5e
patch cable you know the difficulties of
cleaning the connector on top game the
wires line up can be very challenging
but today I've got a hack for you that
makes it quick and easy the first thing
we have to do is strip the wire back
about an inch and a half that would give
us plenty of room to work with the
copper wire inside there we go next
thing to do is to separate the colors
got your orange blue green and brown now
according to the configuration the wire
configuration we are going to begin
lining these up
two wires that are most difficult with
this particular wire scheme are the
green they tend to want to go back to
their spot you're separating the the
stripe green with a solid and it's kind
of difficult so but I do have a hack for
that so keep watching it
there's that
so find a flat surface like my desk and
begin pressing down with a lot of
pressure you're pulling on it when I tug
get a really good amount of pressure
there keep going until you feel the
wires are totally flat together and
they're not gonna go anywhere they stay
where they're supposed to be once they
do that unless there's where they're
stay you can now put that in the
connector okay now it's time to trim the
wire so it can go in the connector we're
gonna take off about it looks like
almost a half an inch and we didn't get
it cut straight so getting the scissors
and go across it straight so everything
looks uniform that's perfect remember
these wires should be short enough to go
into the connector and the black sheath
should be able to go up inside the
connector no wires should be exposed at
the bottom it looks like it's perfect
now with the crimping tool just one good
squeeze
and you get yourself a perfect patch
