How to make a network cable successfully?

I have been attempting to craft a new network cable since the old one is damaged. Unfortunately, I have failed numerous times in a row. Cutting the cable evenly with scissors has proven to be quite challenging for me. Could someone provide me with some advice? :face_with_spiral_eyes: :face_with_spiral_eyes: :face_with_spiral_eyes: :face_with_spiral_eyes:

If your wire cutting problem occurs during the crimping phase of using a crimping tool on an RJ45 connector to cut off the excess core wires, then you can use a device that can simultaneously cut off the extra core wires when crimping the RJ45 connector.
If your problem occurs when using a non-crimping tool RJ45 connector to trim the core wires with a wire cutter, it is recommended to trim the core wires as much as possible when cutting them. Doing it like this will facilitate your subsequent operation process and significantly improve your production success rate.

Once you decide to make your own network cable and you’re new to network installation, you need to prepare the wire stripper, RJ45 crimping tool, and flush cutter in advance. Using correct Ethernet cable tools can improve the success rate of termination.

You can choose a passa-through RJ45 connector and use it with a crimping tool that has wire cutting function. Then you don’t have to cut the wires yourself.

I recommend using a wire stripper, which can quickly cut the cable. However, you’ll also need to prepare an RJ45 connector and a crimping tool to use alongside it. :wink:
