Learn how to make a network cable (patch lead) and fit an RJ45 connector using a passthrough RJ45 crimping tool for Snap Plugs. This type of RJ45 plug allows the 8 conductors to pass through the end, making it easier to ensure the correct order of the coloured wires (T568A or T568B) and perfect placement inside the jack before crimping.

Now you know how to crimp ethernet cable!
