While working on structured cabling system, it happens that cable might short in length due to false estimation at earlier stage, do not worry, we can fix it by using connectors, straight connectors, or welding.

① Wire connector

The mission of wire connector is for connecting and extending network cables, by carefully peeling off a small section of the 8-core wire, and insert them into wire connectors one-by-one with the guidance of their skin color- same color share the same wire connector. Use needle-nose pliers to press the top slot of the wire connector and press it tightly.

② Straight joint

The straight joint of the network cable can be divided into indoor type and outdoor type. The indoor type can have crystal heads on both ends, and then simply connect the straight joint to the network cable; The outdoor type is quite similar with the indoor type, except its excellent waterproof function.

③ Welding

This method requires high skillful operation.

1. Peeling off the core of the network cable for a small portion;

2. Covered the bare section with a heat shrinkable pipe;

3. Welded with electric soldering iron.

When working on a weak current monitoring system project, network cables are one of the indispensable transmission tools for connecting equipment, and are also a key factor affecting the stability of the entire weak current system.
