Cable Tester
Plug your finished network cable into the two RJ-45 (network connectors) on the main unit and remote, and turn it on. The red power LED flashes on the main unit, and the wire pairs flash in succession on the remote. A green LED indicates the wire pairs are good. No light means no connection, and the red light indicates a wiring problem. I'll delve into the wiring in brief a bit further down the page.
The Crimper
Insert your finish cable into the crimper, and press down firmly. I like to give it two good closings personally. A good thing to do also is look at your wires before you crimp it closed to make sure your wires are in the correct order. That saves you from having to cut the end off, and repeating the whole process again. Not to sound like a wimp, but depending on your personal finger strength, your fingers will get start to get sore squeezing and undoing the twisted pairs of wires at some point.
