HOW TO WIRE A KEYSTONE JACK WITH THE PUNCH DOWN TOOL
STEP 1
Strip approximately 1.5 inches of jacket from
the twisted-pair cable.

STEP 2
Separate the twisted wire pairs from each other;
then untwist each pair. Straighten wire ends out
as much as possible,

STEP 3
Remove the jack's protective cap.

STEP 4
Once the cap has been removed, you'll notice that
there are wire configurations printed near the
termination slots. If you are given a choice between
"A" and "B" configurations,
choose whichever one you'd like, just be sure to
remember which one you're using when it comes
time to terminate the cable's other end with a jack!
Configurations must be the same at both ends of the network cabling.

STEP 5
Place all 8 wires into the center of the jack; from there,
divert the wires into their correct slots, pressing them as
far down into the termination slots as they will go.
Excess wire length will be extending out of the sides of
the lack.

STEP 6
It's easiest to punch down wires if you do one side of the
jack at a time. Make sure that the punchdown tools"Cut"
side is aligned with the outer edge of the jack, and that
the jack assembly is resting on a hard, sturdy surface that
5
is able to withstand force. To punch down each wire, press down on the punch down tool until
you hear a loud click and simultaneous, metallic-sounding "ping". These noises are indicators
that the punch-down has been done correctly; if you don't hear them, you'll know that the
punchdown hasn't been successful.

STEP 7
Check the quality of the punches. Inspect each
termination slot along the outer edge of the jack; each
wire should be firmly anchored at the bottom of its
slot, and the wires' copper conductors will be visible.

STEP 8
Snap the Jack’s cover back on, over the wires

STEP 9
Firmly insert the jack assembly into the faceplate
from the back; be sure that the jack's clip is
facing up: sit properly snaps into the faceplate
port.
STEP 10 Screw the completed jack/faceplate
assembly into the wall

How to Make an RJ11 Telephone Cable
Below is a documentation on the wiring procedure for making a telephone lead to connect a
telephone to an RJ11 phone outlet plate.
Equipment needed
 Roll of Telephone Cable (Single or 2 pair)
 RJ11 Crimping Tool
 RJ11 Connectors * 2

Steps

1. Using an RJ11 crimping tool, remove the outer protective sleeve leaving around 25mm of
cable exposed
2. Fold over or cut off the extra e.g. the white/orange & white/blue cables
3. Straighten out cables into the required order - the convention is to use the 2 Blue/Orange
wires for pin 2 & 3
4. Again use the crimping tool to cut off the sleeve of the core wires to leave about 12mm
exposed
5. Push the cables into the 2 central RJ11 slots (will have copper pins)
6. Use the crimping tool to crimp the connector onto the cable
7. Repeat the same process for the other end of the cable.

NOTES on Telephone Cable & Connectors

 The RJ stands for 'Registered Jack'


 The RJ11 comes with 4 pin slots
 Only the 2 middle pins are needed
 It is used for dial up internet or voice but not local area networks
 it is used with telephone cables
 If the RJ connector has copper pins in all 4 slots
 it is actually an RJ14 but can be used as if it was an RJ11
 The other commonly used RJ plug is the RJ45
 it is used with LAN networks, Satellite receiver ethernet ports etc
 it has 8 pins
 it can be used with CAT5/CAT6 cables
