DIY Ethernet RJ-45 UTP Cable Tester UltraCheap (Wall Mountable)

Step 5Place The LEDs to Plate

Now we will place our LEDs to holes which we drilled at 4th step.I used green and red LEDs and i placed them as 1 green 1 red but its your call.Only important part of that step is just be sure negative(-) legs of the LEDs should be the same way inside or outside.They all needs to be paralel to each other.(Check images you will understand what i am sayin')

If you are testing an ethernet cable probably you have a pc nearby; it can be an idea. :)
