I am an accountant by profession. I am currently holding around 12 companies under my fingers. But in one way or another, I am bound to help my teammates. One of these ways is helping them with the computers. Then there comes connecting their computers into the LAN network. And so on...
Yesterday, I had to re-crimp a LAN cable as it seemed to have a "loose contact" in one end. You may think crimping a LAN cable is way too far away from an accountant's work. But if you take a look at it closely, you'll see how easy it is.
The main thing with crimping a LAN cable is that you know the color codes. You splice, and slot in the cable unto the RJ45 jack. Tighten it... and its done! I assume you know that a crimper is need here, of course.
For the color code sequence, here is what I got:

I am using the straight-through color codes as it is pretty basic. Its a plain 1-to-1 setting. Just put the right colors in the right order and it should work just nice.
Here is another way of showing you the color code:
And here is my very own crimp. We don't have any crimper in the office yet, so I borrowed a rusty one from our contractor.

Like I said, crimping is pretty easy of you know the color code sequence. Nothing fancy actually. No need to be so techy just to do a simple crimp.
ya its soo easy
