4. What colors are used on these wires?
Orange, blue, green, brown, orange/white, brown/white, green/white, blue/white
5. The punch down tool used to insert the wires into a jack such as this does what two things to each wire?
Secures the wire into the slot and cuts the insulation on the wire
6. What is the most critical part of the termination procedure to ensure low crosstalk on the connection?
Keep the wires twisted as much as possible until reaching the termination point (RJ-45 connector):
7. How is the outer insulation covering each wire cut through during the termination procedure?
When using the punch tool, press down halfway to secure the wire, then press down all the way, firmly, to trim the insulation.
8. Which termination color code method is used in this example?
Termination color code B:
9. In which video is the wire separation tower shown?
The wire separation tower is shown in the second video with the Cat 6 cable:
