Lab 2 Making A Network Cabling

The document describes an experiment involving cabling tasks: 1) The experiment involves cable crimping, standard cabling, cross cabling, IO connector crimping, and testing crimped cables using a cable tester. 2) Standard cabling uses a straight cable to connect a computer to a hub, while cross cabling connects two computers directly using only a UTP cable or connects two hubs. 3) The procedures for cable crimping, IO connector crimping, and testing crimped cables are outlined, with steps such as stripping cables, arranging wires, crimping connectors, and using a cable tester.

Experiment No: 2

Experiment: Do the following cabling works in a network a) Cable Crimping b) Standard


Cabling and c) Cross Cabling d) IO connector crimping e) Testing the crimped cable using a
cable tester.

Aim:
To do the following
a) Cable Crimping
b) Standard Cabling
c) Cross Cabling
d)IO connector crimping
e) Testing the crimped cable using a cable tester

Apparatus/Tools/Equipment/Components: RJ-45
connector,
IO Connector,
Crimping Tool,
Twisted pair Cable,
Cable Tester.

Principle:

Standard Cabling:

1. 10BaseT and 100BaseT are most common mode of LAN. You can use UTP category-5 cable
for both modes.
2. A straight cable is used to connect a computer to a hub
Cross Cabling:
A cross cable is used to connect 2 computers directly (with ONLY the UTP cable). It is also used then
you connect 2 hubs with a normal port on both hubs

Procedure:

Cable Crimping steps:

1. Remove the outmost vinyl shield for 12mm at one end of the cable (we call this side A-side).
2. Arrange the metal wires in parallel
3. Insert the metal wires into RJ45 connector on keeping the metal wire arrangement.

4. Set the RJ45 connector (with the cable) on the pliers, and squeeze it tightly.
5. Make the other side of the cable (we call this side B-side) in the same way.

6. After you made it, you don't need to take care of the direction of the cable.

IO connector crimping: Run the full length of Ethernet cable in place, from endpoint to
endpoint, making sure to leave excess.

At one end, cut the wire to length leaving enough length to work, but not too much excess.
Strip off about 2 inches of the Ethernet cable sheath.
Align each of the colored wires according to the layout of the jack.
Use the punch down tool to insert each wire into the jack.
Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 jack.
Testing the crimped cable using a cable tester:
Step 1 : Skin off the cable jacket 3.0 cm long cable stripper up to
cable Step 2: Untwist each pair and straighten each wire 190 0 1.5
cm long.

Step 3 : Cut all the wires


Step 4 : Insert the wires into the RJ45 connector right white orange left brown the pins facing up
Step 5 : Place the connector into a crimping tool, and squeeze hard so that the handle reaches its
full swing.
Step 6: Use a cable tester to test for proper continuity

Result:

Cable Crimping, Standard Cabling and Cross Cabling, IO connector crimping and testing the
crimped cable using a cable tester are done successfully
