Default Cat 5 wiring

Yup, I realize the error of my ways. Thanks, Bob

Maybe I've been doing something wrong here. Do I need to strip the
insulation off of each conductor, or do I just leave the insulation on
and let the crimper puncture the insulation?


Just strip the outer jacket. The copper things inside the plug have teeth
that cut into the insulation & touch the wire inside. (the crimper pushes
them down into the wire).
