The document provides step-by-step instructions for making network cable connections using Cat5e cabling. It outlines 8 steps: 1) strip the cable end; 2) untwist the wire ends; 3) arrange the wires in the proper color order; 4) trim the wire ends to length; 5) attach the connector; 6) check that all wires are inserted properly; 7) crimp the connector onto the cable end; and 8) test the cable to ensure it works properly. It emphasizes the importance of occupational health and safety practices when working with network cabling.

2. Step-by-step on making network cable:
1. Strip cable end
2. Untwist wire ends
3. Arrange wires
4. Trim wires to size
5. Attach connector
6. Check
7. Crimp
8. Test

3. Step 1 – Strip cable end
● Strip 1 – 1½” of insulating sheath
● Avoid cutting into conductor insulation

4. Step 2 – Untwist wire ends
● Sort wires by insulation colors

5. Step 3 – Arrange wires
● T-568A: GW-G OW-Bl BlW-O BrW-Br
● T-568B: OW-O GW-Bl BlW-G BrW-Br

6. Step 4 – Trim wires to size
● Trim all wires evenly
● Leave about ½” of wires exposed

7. Step 5 – Attach connector
● Maintain wire order,
left-to-right, with RJ45
tab facing downward

8. Step 6 - Check
● Do all wires extend to end?
● Is sheath well inside connector?

9. Step 7 - Crimp
● Squeeze firmly to crimp connector
onto cable end (8P)

10. Step 8 – Test
● Does the cable work?

11. Let’s go to work!

12. Always remember the OHS
● Occupational health and safety (OHS) policy.
Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) - A
planned system of working to prevent illness
and injury where you work by recognizing
