1. Common symptoms of crystal head damage

1.Frequent network disconnection: Intermittent disconnection may occur when the plug is loose.
2.Internet speed drops abnormally: Oxidation of metal contacts causes the transmission rate to decrease by more than 50%
3.physical damage: The buckle is broken or the crystal head shell is cracked
2. Maintenance tool preparation list
| Tool name | Instructions for use | alternative |
|---|---|---|
| RJ45 crimping pliers | Fixed crystal head and network cable | Vice (not recommended) |
| line measuring instrument | Detect 8-core connectivity | Multimeter |
| Wire stripping knife | Peel off the sheath of the network cable | utility knife |
3. Step-by-step maintenance guide
Step 1: Diagnose the problem
Use a line tester to check whether the lights in sequence No. 1-8 are all on. If one side does not light up or flashes, you can confirm that the crystal head is faulty.
Step 2: Cut off old joints
Cut the network cable flatly 3cm away from the original crystal head, leaving enough space for re-making.
Step 3: Line order arrangement
Arranged according to T568B standard: orange-white, orange, green-white, blue, blue-white, green, brown-white, brown (make sure all wire cores are flush)
Step 4: Crimping operation
Insert the arranged wire core into the new crystal head, and use the crimping pliers to complete the fixation when you hear a "click" sound.
4. Preventive maintenance suggestions
1. Check the oxidation of the interface every six months
2. Avoid bending network cables at 90 degrees
3. It is recommended to use gold-plated crystal head (lifespan increased by 3 times)
5. Frequently Asked Questions
| question | solution |
|---|---|
| What to do if you don’t have professional tools? | Purchase a crimp-free crystal head (the cost is about 40% more expensive) |
| Multiple crimping failures | Check whether the wire core is exposed more than 5mm |
| The network cable is too short and cannot be repaired | Extension using RJ45 butt connector |
According to data from the Network Maintenance Forum, about 78% of home network failures can be solved by replacing the crystal head. Mastering this skill can not only save about 200 yuan in door-to-door service fees, but also quickly restore the network connection. Users are advised to save this guide for future reference.
