Once you??™ve finished punching down a cable, install the connector block in
the wall plate.
When you??™ve punched down all the cables for a wall plate, screw the wall
plate into place.
Step 6: Test the Cables
Once you??™ve punched down a run of cable, test it with the cable tester to make sure
that it is working:
Find (or create) two Ethernet patch cables, and then test them with the cable
tester.
Connect the remote end of the cable tester to one end of a run of cable. If that
end terminates in a wall plate, connect the tester??™s end using one of the patch
cables.
Connect the main part of the cable tester to the other end of the run. Again, if
that end terminates in a wall plate, use a patch cable to connect the tester.
Press the button on the tester, and verify that the tester shows a good connection.
If the cable tester shows a problem with the cable, follow these steps:
Check that the ends of the cable are correctly punched down or crimped.
