Lesson #1 (creating ethernet cable)
- 3. Ethernet cabling has been the standard in networking installation for years. It is the fastest way of connecting PC to a peer or to your router or a central switch. Creating Ethernet Cable
- 5. Fabricating an Ethernet Cross-over and Straight- through Cable
- 6. • The straight-through Ethernet cable is used in local area network to connect a PC to a network hub and router. • A cross-over cable, on the other hand, can be used to connect two network devices directly, without the need for a router in the middle. Fabricating an Ethernet Cross-over and Straight-through Cable
- 7. Ethernet Cable Category 5e or Cat5e- standard wire for cabling; The following items are the materials and tools used for making Ethernet cables: • Ethernet Cable Category 5e or Cat5e- standard wire for cabling; • RJ45 crimpable connectors for Cat5e; • RJ45 Crimping tool; • Wire cutter, stripper or pliers; and • Ethernet cable tester.
- 9. STEPS: 1. Cut into the plastic sheath 1 inch from the end of the cut cable. The crimping tool has a razor blade that will do the trick with practice. 2. Unwind and pair the similar colors.
- 10. 3. Pinch the wires between your fingers and straighten them out as shown. The color order is important to do this correctly. 4. Use wire cutter to make a straight cut across the wires 1/2 inch from the cut sleeve to the end of the wires.
- 11. 5. Push the wires into the connector. Each wire fits into a slot in the RJ45 connector. Note the position of the blue plastic shielding. Also note how the wires go all the way to the end.
- 12. 6. Take view from the top. Make sure the wires are all the way in. There should be no short wires.
- 13. 7. Crimping the Cable – carefully place the connector into the Ethernet Crimper and cinch down on the handles tightly. The copper splicing tabs on the connector will pierce into each of the eight wires. There is also a locking tab that holds the blue plastic sleeve in place for a tight compression fit. When you remove the cable from the crimper, that end is ready to use.
- 14. 8. For a standard "Straight- Through" cable, repeat all steps and wire color order on the other end of cable. For a cross-over cable - the other end will have a different color order 9. Make sure to test the cables before installing them. An inexpensive Ethernet cable tester does this quite well.
