Step-by-Step Crimping instructions
Step1 Strip a 2 to 3 inches portion of the insulation, exposing the 4 twisted pairs.
Step2 Untwist the wires and fan them out individually. Arrange the wires into the
correct color scheme as shown in Fig.1
Step3 Flatten the wires in their correct order, and trim them evenly across the top.
Most crimp tools have a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires to
about 1/2
Step4 While holding the wires flat between your thumb and forefinger, insert the
wires into the RJ45 connector, so each is its own slot. Push the wire into the
RJ45, so all 8 conductors touch the end of the connector. The insulation jacket
should extend beyond the crimp point of the RJ45.
Step5 Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle and squeeze the tool firmly. Note
that a ratchet type tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.
Step6 The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the Cat-5 insulation. It is necessary that
the color scheme be repeated identically on each end of the wire.
3. Installing the X1616
The X1616 is designed to be placed on a shelf or in a component rack. If you are
mounting the X1616 with other components, you should remove the feet.
The audio sources are plugged into the eight local source inputs on the back panel
of the X1616 using stereo RCA cables, Fig.4
in length.
