Step 4Wired Up
WARNING: Do not cut like you see in the pictures. My hand is positioned like that only to take the pictures. Always keep your hands away from the sharp side of the blade.
Cut triangle wedges (indicated in pink) out of each cardboard dowel using a knife. All cuts should be equal distance from each corner (3-4 inches out).
Next, slice open your Cat5 cable to reveal the twisted pairs inside. Choose a color you want (doesn't matter) and unravel the twisted pair. An easy way to do this is to stand up with a wire in each hand (making sure your arms are raised enough for the cable to be off the ground). Then, slowly pull the wires apart. It will twirl around while separating at the top. If you pull too fast it will tangle up. No Fun.
