Use a red colored font for you answers.

Place the answers below the questions.

1. In the videos you just watched where is the color code to use for the jack shown?

In the 5e connector is on the side of the cable’s terminal(jack).

In the 6e connector is on the inside of the terminal (jack).

2. For the wires how many possible termination color code methods are there?

By the looking at it, it seems to have 8 different color code methods.

5. The punch down tool used to insert the wires into a jack such as this does what two things to each wire?

As far as I can see it has two functions, it pushes the wire into the slot, and then cuts

the wire.

6. What is the most critical part of the termination procedure to ensure low crosstalk on the connection?

Do not unravel more than 0.5(half inch) of the wire and not to exceed the bend radius

or crimp or cut the wire in any way.

7. How is the outer insulation covering each wire cut through during the termination

procedure?

With the wire cutter or crimper.

8. Which termination color code method is used in this example?
