Learn how to make a network cable (patch lead) and fit an RJ45 connector using an RJ45 crimping tool for Modular Plugs with a Load Bar. This type of RJ45 plug allows the 8 conductors to pass through the end of the load bar before you insert into the plug, making it easier to ensure the correct order of the coloured wires (T-568A or T-568B) and perfect placement inside the jack before crimping.

Now you know how to crimp ethernet cable!
