    Strip off an appropriate length of the cable sheath. The length is typically that of the RJ-45 connector. Untwist the pairs so that they can lie flat, and arrange the colored wires based on the wiring specifications. Cut the top of the wires even with one another. Insert the wires into the RJ-45 end and make sure the wires extend to the front of the RJ-45 end and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ-45 end and in the correct order.

    Patch cord A fiber that has connectors at both ends is called a patch cord. A patch cord connects one optical device to another for signal routing. Patch cords fall into single-mode and multi-mode patch cords. • Single-mode patch cord: The jacket is yellow. It permits transmission over longer distances. Multi-mode patch cord: The jacket is orange.
