Using Adapter

• 1). Plug the male end of the adapter into the RJ-11 outlet, such as a phone connection.
  
  
• 2). Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable into the adapter.
  
  
• 3). Run the RJ-45 cable to the device you want to connect to the outlet. Plug another adapter into the RJ-45 outlet on the device.
  
  
• 4). Plug the other end of the RJ-45 cable into the adapter connected to the device.
  
  

Replace Connectors

• 1). Use a pair of wire cutters to cut the RJ-45 connector off the end of the cable.
  
  
• 2). Strip approximately 1 inch of the outer cable insulation to reveal four pairs of inner wires. Be careful not to accidentally nick the insulation on the inner wires.
  
  
• 3). Untwist the four pairs of wires and arrange them from left to right starting with the white-and-green wire, followed by the white-and-orange wire, the solid blue wire, the white-and-blue wire, the solid orange wire and the solid green wire. Carefully cut off the solid brown and the white-and-brown wires so they're flush with the outer insulation.
  
  
• 4). Hold the RJ-11 connector in your left hand with the plastic locking tab on the bottom.
  
  
• 5). Insert the white-and-green wire into the hole in the connector closest to the left side. This is called "position one." Continue inserting the wires in order from left to right until all six wires are in place. The wire closest to the right side should be the solid green wire.
  
  
• 6). Slide all the wires as far as possible into the connector so the insulation is flush with the rear of the connector. This is important since the unterminated wires must remain twisted, which helps to minimize signal interference.
  
  
• 7). Insert the connector into the crimping tool and squeeze until the connector clicks together.
  
  
• 8). Trim off any excess wire protruding through the front of the connector. Repeat the entire procedure for the other end of the cable.
