How to make rj45-wiring connections

In many cases of residential rj45-wiring for networks, you will only put the rj45 end on to plug into the distribution panel. The other end in the bedroom, office, or wherever, will have a keystone jack, which is similar to a modular phone jack.

Now on the other end of the CAT5, you will be wiring the keystone jack that snaps into the data port wallplate in each room.

There is a loose standard as to the exact order of the wires into keystone jacks, so just be sure to put the wires in the same order on both ends of the circuit.

The keystone is actually color-coded and you just lay the coordinating colored wires in place and use a punchdown tool to secure the wires.

Some keystone jacks have a cover that fits over the back of the port and snaps in place acting like a punchdown tool.

The keystone jacks fit into an electric box just like outlets and phone jacks do.
