Handy tips:   How to terminate rj45 plugs with cat 6 cable for use in Australia

Terminating RJ45 plugs with Cat 6 cable for use in Australia is similar to terminating them for use in other countries. However, it’s important to keep in mind the Australian standards for wiring and color coding. Here are the steps to terminate RJ45 plugs with Cat 6 cable for use in Australia:

  1. Strip the outer sheath of the Cat 6 cable: Use a cable stripper to strip off about 1 inch of the outer sheath of the Cat 6 cable. Be careful not to cut into the inner twisted pairs of wires.
  2. Untwist the pairs: Untwist the four pairs of wires inside the cable, being careful not to untwist them too much.
  3. Arrange the wires: Arrange the wires according to the Australian wiring standard, which uses the T568A wiring standard. From left to right, the wires should be arranged in the following order: white/green, green, white/orange, blue, white/blue, orange, white/brown, brown.
  4. Trim the wires: Trim the wires so that they are all the same length, leaving about 1/2 inch of exposed wire.
  5. Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug: Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug, making sure that they are in the correct order and fully inserted into the plug.
  6. Crimp the plug: Use a crimping tool to crimp the RJ45 plug onto the cable. Apply enough pressure to ensure that the contacts inside the plug make good contact with the wires.
  7. Test the connection: Test the connection using a cable tester to ensure that all the wires are making good contact and that there are no shorts or other issues.

That’s it! With these steps, you can terminate RJ45 plugs with Cat 6 cable for use in Australia. It’s important to follow the Australian wiring standard to ensure that your network cabling is compliant with local regulations and operates correctly.
