Figure 18-31 Crimper with built-in stripper and snips

EXAM TIP The CompTIA A+ exams expect you to know that a cable tech

uses a crimper or crimping tool to attach an RJ-45 to the end of a UTP cable.

Here are the steps for properly crimping an RJ-45 onto a UTP cable. If

you have some crimps, cable, and a crimping tool handy, follow along!

1. Cut the cable square using RJ-45 crimpers or scissors.

2. Strip off one-half inch of plastic jacket from the end of the cable (see

Figure 18-32).
