Making up patch cables

["Dan Khan" <dan@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Anyone offer some help?

I am trying to make up a digital audio patch cable - I wish to take a
stereo
mini jack to twin phono cable and basically cut it in half and insert
cat5
plugs onto the ends.

I have tried this, which did not work:

stereo jack --> rj45

1 - outer twisted copper screen from red wire
2 - red wire
3 - 6 empty
7 - white wire
8 - outer twisted copper screen from red wire

rj45 --> twin phono wired in exactly the same way.

Does anyone know the correct way to do it?

I did not trim the casing from the red or white cables before inserting
into
the rj45 jacks - I assumed that the crimping tool cuts through this to
the
wire underneath.

Anyone help before I go through the (already short) cable and my spare
rj45
plugs?

Thanks,
-Dan
