Replacing a Network Cable
The fiber extractor cannot be used to replace shielded network cables.
- Use a fiber extractor to remove the unshielded network cable.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
Figure A-9 shows the clamping method of the fiber extractor when the fiber extractor is used to remove the unshielded network cable.
- Remove the unshielded network cable.
Align the fiber extractor with the RJ45 connector of the network cable. Clamp the connector with proper force as shown in Figure A-9, and then pull the cable outwards as shown in Figure A-10.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
- Use a fiber extractor to install the unshielded network cable.
- Acquire the clamping method of the fiber extractor.
Figure A-11 shows the clamping method of the fiber extractor when the fiber extractor is used to install the unshielded network cable.
- Install the unshielded network cable.
Clamp the RJ45 connector as shown in Figure A-11. Then gently insert the connector into an Ethernet port until the clip locks the connector. (You can hear a click when the connector gets locked.)
