Assembly of A Category 6 Shielded Solid Or Stranded RJ45 Plug With Cable Clip
Twisted pair cables such as CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6a cable are a low cost and easy installation alternative to traditional coax cables for transmitting KVM and AV signals. KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) extenders via CAT5 may be used to remove computers from harsh or sensitive environments, or to restrict physical access to the computer. Video extension products such as VGA, DVI, S-Video or HDTV extenders via CAT5 are used to extend video displays. Each extender consists of two units - the local and remote units, which are interconnected using a CAT5/5e/6 cable.
This article focuses on the proper method for terminating a CAT6 shielded solid or stranded cable using standard tools and materials that are readily available. With the proper use of the tools and a little practice you will be terminating CAT6 cables in no time.
Prepare the cable
You will first need CAT6 shielded cable (solid or stranded for the purposes of this article) cut to the desired length. The cable can be terminated before or after installation, even if you have a long run to make. Using a cable tester from VPI, the cable can be easily tested for continuity, crossed pairs and pinouts to make sure all connections have been made properly.
Next you will need to make sure you have the correct plugs to terminate the cable with. Different plugs are intended to different types of cable, whether you have solid or stranded connectors, flat or round cable, shielded or unshielded, and CAT5, 5e, 6, or 6a. Be sure to use a plug suitable for your cable.
For tools you need a CAT5 wire stripper, wire cutters, RJ45 crimp tool (specially designed for RJ45 plug with cable clip), and a CAT5 cable tester.
Terminate the cable
First, slide the plug boot onto the cable, being sure to orient the boot such that the open side is towards the cut end of the cable. Then carefully strip the jacketing from the cable to expose 1" of the insulated wire conductors and shield. Don't cut too deeply or you will knick the shield and wire insulation underneath. If you just score the cable jacket and bend the wire in several directions to finish the break, the result will be a good problem-free cut.
Next, peel the foil shield insulation back onto the cable jacket and trim to within approximately ¼" of the jacket edge. Wrap the drain wire such that it is located at the bottom (locking-tab side) of the cable. Do not remove any insulation from the conductors.
Trim the + shaped divider (an insulator core within some manufacturer's CAT6 cables, so this may or may not be present) that separates each of the twisted pair all the way back to the cut edge of the jacket.
Untwist the wires to within approximately 3/16" of the jacket edge (but not beyond) and arrange them according to TIA/EIA 568A or 568B standards. For a CAT6 shielded RJ45 plug with cable clip, the RJ45 plug should include a spacer bar used to properly space the pairs of wires for insertion into the loading bar and plug. Insert the wires into the spacer bar, (one twisted pair per space) with the "V" shaped split facing upwards and away from the jacket. Position the spacer bar as close to the jacket as possible. The portion of untwisted wire should be inside the spacer bar.
Flatten and insert the remaining wire into the loading bar. The loading bar has openings in it, one for each conductor. The wires must be placed in the proper order for either the TIA/EIA 568A or 568B standard. With the wires in the proper order, slide the loading bar (with the raised edge up and towards the spacer bar) all the way on until it touches the spacer bar. Then trim off the excess wires that extend from the loading bar.
Insert the prepared cable into the RJ45 plug such that the loading bar is fully inserted and the cable jacket extends inside the plug. Be careful not to scrape the foil shield with the cable clip as you insert the assembly. The jacket and shield should extend at least ¼" into the plug for proper strain relief and shield connection. Make sure the drain wire is positioned at the bottom of the connector as this is where it will see the greatest contact with the shield of the RJ45 plug.
Using the RJ45 crimp tool (make sure this tool is capable of crimping the cable clip), crimp the assembled termination to make it permanent. Firmly squeeze the handles to set the contacts, crimp the cable clip and secure the plug. Once crimped, the termination should be tight and impossible to remove.
Slide the rubber boot over the crimped connection and plug until it grabs the small teeth on the plug body.
Test the cable
Use the CAT5 cable tester to check your work. The tester will indicate proper continuity (complete connection end-to-end), make sure the pairs have been matched up properly, and that the pinout is according to the selected wire standard. If an end is wired incorrectly, the tester will indicate which end is incorrect. Simply cut off the end and try again.
Be sure to see more articles about CAT5 cable termination available from VPI. Other types of cable require slightly different procedures, so not all of the details for the cable you want to terminate will be covered in this article.

Where does the RCA cable plug into for sound on TV from laptop?
Sounds like a very simple question. I have a new Samung LCD, and I have connected the screen via VGA cable, and the picture is working perfectly. I'm aware you can't get sound without using an RCA cable, so i plug one end into the headphone socket on the Laptop, and the red and white leads where exactly? I've tried every red and white socket on the back of the TV.
SOLUTION:
======================
You must use a 3 1/4" Male to Male cable to plug into the 3 1/4" jack on your TV.
EXPLANATION:
======================
This is where they trick you. The RCA plugs are ALWAYS linked to a specific video in, and the audio will only work on that input.
For example:
INPUT 1 - (V) (L)(R)
INPUT 2 - (V) (L)(R)
the Left and right (red and white) will only work when you are on input 1 or input 2
This is because the Red and White RCAs are linked to a Yellow RCA (Video) or S-Video Input. This is just the way it works.
The VGA cable (also called RGB) is linked to its own audio input. It is a 3 1/4" jack. This is the standard headphone jack size. You will need a simple cable for $5 at radio shack.
It is called a 3 1/4" Male to Male cable.
ENJOY!

How to Connect Laptop Computer to TV using S-Video Cable
Here we will bring a comprehensive solution to the connection issues of laptop to the TV using an S video cable. A proper and firm connection of S video cable is a must however following the below set of steps could ensure a great output.
Identify the right S video cable
Make the physical connection
Configure the settings
Things to remember
Identify the right S video cable
The selection of S video cable to establish connectivity between laptop and TV widely depends on the type of TV in use. If the TV in use is an old CRT TV then either S video cable or S video cable with RCA cable can be used however if you own a new digital TV then you should have the three S video cables.
Make the physical connection
After identifying and assessing the S video cable, the next step will be to make up on the physical connection. Connect the S video cables plug to the respective port in the TV and to that of the laptop. Make sure that the cable goes firmly inside the ports. Even though the set up will be a little tedious to build on , if you miss out on the right connection, the only issue that could arise is either the video or audio will not appear however you will have the bandwidth to do it again.
Configure the settings
Subsequently move on to check on the settings both on TV and on Laptop to ensure a smooth connection and union. Using the TV settings, set the input mode to AV. On the laptop using the Fn (Function) key and the video output key that is the F4 key. The video display must initiate on the TV. The keys could be used to toggle the display however there are even choices of settings available to opt for dual display settings.
Things to remember
There are situations when we fail to identify the right S video cable and thus face different challenges. Moreover while changing on the display and toggling down, the system fails to change the settings and the manual intervention becomes a need. However to offer you computer help the online tech support is available round the clock.
