5. Instrukcja obsługi
5.1. Using the RJ45 Crimp Tool
The RJ45 Crimp Tool is designed for stripping, cutting, and crimping Ethernet and telephone cables. It features dedicated slots for 8P8C (RJ45) and 6P6C (RJ11/RJ12) connectors, along with a stripping slot for round cables and a sharp cutting blade.
Rysunek 5.1: Szczegółowy view of the crimp tool's functional areas.
Figure 5.2: Demonstrating the stripping, cutting, and crimping capabilities of the tool.
5.1.1. Crimping an RJ45 Connector (Pass-Through Method)
Follow these steps to create a custom-length Ethernet cable using the pass-through method:
Figure 5.3: Step-by-step guide for RJ45 pass-through crimping.
- Odblokuj narzędzie: First, press down on the handle to unlock the crimp tool.
- Strip the Cable Jacket: Insert the Ethernet cable into the stripping slot and rotate the tool to strip approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the outer jacket from the end of the cable.
- Usuń nadmiar: Carefully cut off any small plastic or fiber strands that may be present after stripping.
- Rozplątywanie i układanie przewodów: Untwist the individual twisted pairs and straighten the wires. Arrange them according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard (most common is T568B: Orange/White, Orange, Green/White, Blue, Blue/White, Green, Brown/White, Brown).
- Cut Wires Flat: Use the cutting blade on the crimp tool to cut the arranged wires flat and even, ensuring they are all the same length.
- Włóż przewody do złącza: Carefully insert the straightened and cut wires into the RJ45 pass-through connector. Push them through until the wire ends emerge from the pins at the front of the connector. Ensure each wire is in its correct channel and fully extended.
- Insert Connector into Crimping Slot: Place the RJ45 connector, with the wires fully inserted, into the 8P8C crimping slot of the tool.
- Zaciskanie złącza: Firmly squeeze the crimper's handles down until you can no longer go any further. The tool's ratchet mechanism will ensure a complete crimp and trim the excess wires protruding from the front of the pass-through connector.
- Zweryfikować: An Ethernet cable is now completed. Proceed to test the cable using the Ethernet Cable Tester.

5.2. Using the Ethernet Cable Tester
The Ethernet Cable Tester is used to verify the continuity and correct wiring of RJ45 (8P8C) and RJ11/RJ12 (6P6C) cables. It consists of a MASTER unit and a REMOTE unit.
Figure 5.5: Ethernet Cable Tester interface.
- Kabel połączeniowy: Plug one end of the Ethernet or telephone cable into the appropriate port (RJ45 or RJ11) on the MASTER unit and the other end into the corresponding port on the REMOTE unit.
- Włączanie: Slide the power switch on the MASTER unit to either "ON S" (Slow Test) or "ON" (Quick Test).
- Obserwuj diody LED: The LED indicators (1 to 8 and G for ground/shield) on both the MASTER and REMOTE units will light up sequentially.
- Interpretacja wyników:
- Połączenie normalne: LEDs on both units will illuminate in the same sequence (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-G).
- Otwarty obwód: If a specific LED on either unit does not light up, it indicates an open circuit (broken wire) for that particular pin.
- Zwarcie: If multiple LEDs light up simultaneously or in an incorrect sequence, it indicates a short circuit between wires.
- Skrzyżowane przewody: If the sequence of lights is different between the MASTER and REMOTE units (e.g., MASTER shows 1-2-3, REMOTE shows 1-3-2), it indicates crossed wires.
- Wyłączone: After testing, slide the power switch to "OFF" to conserve battery life.
6. Konserwacja
- Czyszczenie: Wipe the tools with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Smarowanie: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the moving parts of the crimp tool to ensure smooth operation.
- Składowanie: Store the tools in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent rust and damage.
- Wymiana baterii: If the cable tester's LEDs become dim or do not light up, replace the 9-volt battery. Remove the battery if the tester will not be used for an extended period.
7. Rozwiązywanie Problemów
| Problem | Możliwa przyczyna | Rozwiązanie |
|---|---|---|
| Crimp tool not cutting wires cleanly. | Ostrze jest tępe lub uszkodzone. | Inspect the blade. If dull, consider replacing the tool or seeking professional sharpening if possible. Ensure wires are properly aligned before cutting. |
| RJ45 connector not crimping properly. | Wires not fully inserted; incorrect connector type; insufficient pressure. | Ensure wires are pushed all the way through the pass-through connector. Verify you are using the correct 8P8C connector. Apply firm, even pressure until the ratchet mechanism completes its cycle. |
| Cable tester LEDs do not light up. | No battery; dead battery; incorrect battery polarity; faulty switch. | Install a fresh 9-volt battery. Check battery polarity. Ensure the power switch is fully in the "ON" or "ON S" position. |
| Cable tester shows incorrect wiring (open/short/crossed). | Improper crimp; damaged cable; incorrect wiring standard. | Re-crimp the connector, ensuring all wires are correctly seated and crimped. Inspect the cable for physical damage. Verify the wiring standard (T568A/T568B) was followed consistently on both ends. |
