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 cable well if you liked this video please hit the like button hit subscribe leave some comments down below and thank you for watching
