My RJ45 standard a cable broke. I tried fixing it in but i cant align the clolored wires properly , because they all turn and twist when i try to put them into the clear plastic thing.

do you have any advice of how to do this?

    It’s a skill you develop with time… I guess, cause I haven’t developed it yet.

    Things that usually help me with this: Straighten the wires while putting them in order

    If cables are too stiff, you can always either cut their tips or use a plier

    Pressing with a finger can help you hold the wires in order

    While ordering them, you can try the wires on the rj45. It has little guides that help you straighten the wires.
