STEP 3
Trim all cable shielding (AL foil, metal braid) back to the cable jacket. We recommend
using the Simply45 5” Angled Flush Cutter (S45-801). Do not cut o the drain wire.
Fold the drain wire straight back about 1inch (2.5cm) over the cable jacket.
If there is a center spline/pair separator cut it o as close to the jacket as possible
STEP 2
Slide the S45-1155 metal shell onto the
cable jacket with the front of the shell
facing the termination end. Slide it
back out of the way for the moment.
STEP 1
Using the Simply45 Adjustable LAN Cable Stripper
(S45-S01BL/YL) or wire stripper on the Simply45
Heavy Duty RJ45 Crimp Tool (S45-C100/S45-C101),
score the cable jacket about 2” (5cm) from the
cable end Be sure not to cut too deep where the
wire conductors could be nicked. Remove the
stripped cable jacket.

STEP 4
Untwist and straighten the wire conductors. We recommend using the Simply45
Adjustable LAN Cable Stripper (S45-S01BL/YL) that has a wire straightener comb on
the top. Next, align the wires in the correct alignment pattern (Type A or B).
The B pattern is the most used today.

STEP 5
Using the S45-801 Flush Cutter, trim
the solid wires back about 3/4” (2cm).
STEP 6
Following the pattern above, insert
the 4 striped wires first. Make sure the
wires are fully laid into the load bar.
Then insert the 4 solid wires

STEP 7
Slide the Bar45 load bar as far back to the cable jacket as you can. Bar45 is designed
to slide back almost touching the cable jacket. [NOTE: This is important for reducing
the length of untwisted wire inside the RJ45 plug and improving termination
performance]. Next, using the S45-801 Flush Cutter, trim the wire ends straight
leaving about 0.2” (5mm) protruding past the front of the Bar45 load bar.
STEP 8
Insert the cable with the Bar45 into the plug. The S45-1155 plug is designed to accommodate
insertion of large diameter cables up to 8.0mm (0.315”). Work the cable jacket into the plug until
fully inserted. Looking from underneath the plug, the cable jacket should meet or come close to
the horizontal line (see above). Make sure the drain wire remains straight down the cable jacket.

STEP 11
Slide the S45-1155 metal shell over the plug body as shown above. Press-In on the
bottom of the plug as you attach the shell. This will allow the plug to snap into the
metal shell. The drain wire should remain straight back against the cable jacket and
come out of the back of the shell and extend pass the external ground arm.
STEP 9
Insert the loaded plug into the Simply45
Heavy Duty RJ45 Crimp Tool (S45-C100/
S45-C101). Make sure to completely
insert the plug into the crimper socket.
STEP 10
Compress the crimper handles all the
way down with one swift and firm
motion until the handles release.

STEP 12
Push the external ground arm down over the
drain wire and against the cable jacket. The
drain wire should meet the rear end of the
external ground arm.
STEP 13
Using your fingers or a flat head screwdriver,
loosely fold the external ground arm wings
around the cable jacket.
STEP 14
Using the external ground arm crimp feature on
the Simply45 Shielded External Ground Crimper
(S45-C101), crimp the external ground wings until
securely folded around the cable jacket. You can
also use pliers (S45-802) to accomplish this task.
STEP 15
Inspect the finished product.
