Below is the colour code for RJ45. Remember that because we are British, we always use colour code B. Enusre that you only strip enough cable, so that the sheath pushes right inside the plug, because the crimper will pinch onto that, and it ensures that the plug will not come off.
arrange the coresin order and flatten them out before pushing into the plug. If is starts going wrong, then pull it out and try again.

Can i ask a couple of questions about this install.
are you putting a wall port with a jack at the user end
by the sound of it you are teminating the server end with a plug and connecting it direct to the server /switch /router
if you are doing the above its not in my experience a common way to do the installs as this cable isnt very flexible and prone to cause problems sure there are other posts on the forum about it.
that said why not do the same at the "server end" as you do at the user end and have a wall box & port then use a proper fly lead to connect the two.
this is by far the easiest way to do very small installs.I have used this method for up to eight connections and when the surface mount boxes are on the wall behind the comms cab they dont look bad at all .
you can get throw away kroning tools but they can be a pain ,i am sure i saw the real thing in a well known orange diy chain not that long ago.
I really would recommend a lan tester or as i suggested use your multimeter and check each pair foe continuity by connecting the pairs with a cut in half patch lead attached to the jacks.I have to do this sometimes when i am checking 9 pin serial extensions that some clients use for kitchen printers .its ok but nowhere near as handy as a lan tester.

This us exactly what I thought it was to do hence i didnt know there was a olug involved but thats how theyve set up all their ports so I want to follow the same.
