How to Wire a RJ-45 KeyStone Jack

Acquire a Keystone Jack

Use your wire stripper to cut the outer sheath

Do Not Rotate more than 3-4 times as it will cut the wires underneath.

when the length of exposed wires are at a decent length (a little less than a thumbs length) separate the wires by color.

on the keystone jack you will see colors. line the wires up to the corresponding colors (white blue - blue, white orange - orange, etc.)

use the punchdown tool with the longer side of the blade on the outside to punch the wires in and it will cut off the excess.

repeat for each color

open up your mounting box

there should be a frame for your jack to snap into

place the jack into the mounting box, there should be places for zip ties to hold the cable in place

place the cover on top and you are done with your cable!

test the line using a cable tester.
