RE: Making up patch cables

I wouldnt like to guarantee the quality of signal transmission but the way I would do it would be opposite to you.

 

Cut an RJ45 patch lead in half and fit Phono plugs to the two pairs you want to use. MUCH easier.

Hi,

Anyone offer some help?

I am trying to make up a digital audio patch cable - I wish to take a stereo
mini jack to twin phono cable and basically cut it in half and insert cat5
plugs onto the ends.

I have tried this, which did not work:

stereo jack --> rj45

1 - outer twisted copper screen from red wire
2 - red wire
3 - 6 empty
7 - white wire
8 - outer twisted copper screen from red wire

rj45 --> twin phono wired in exactly the same way.

Does anyone know the correct way to do it?

I did not trim the casing from the red or white cables before inserting into
the rj45 jacks - I assumed that the crimping tool cuts through this to the
wire underneath.

Anyone help before I go through the (already short) cable and my spare rj45
plugs?

Thanks,
-Dan
