Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC):

Identify necessary network materials in accordance with established procedures and check
against system requirements.

MOTIVATION:

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master configuring
computer systems and networks. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different
learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons
are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.

PRESENTATION OF LESSON:

Introduction:

What I need to know?

After dealing with the safety precautions related to networks, you can now proceed with the next
session of this module which is networking devices, media and connector.

 Describe network cables

 Understand differences Straight through and Crossover type of network cabling
 Discuss the color scheme of T568A and T568B Standardization of network cabling
What’s new?
Despite the rapid growth in wireless technologies, many computer networks in the 21 st century continue
using cables as a physical medium for devices to transfer data. The different types of cables exist, each
designed for specific purposes.

Development:

a. thicknet b. thinnet c. RG-6 d. RG-59
 What’s in?
When you install a new device or program, you sometimes need to configure, which means that you
need to set various switches and jumpers (for hardware) and to define values of parameters (for
software). Thanks to technological advancements, such as plug-and-play, much of this configuration is
now performed automatically.

What is it?
ETHERNET CABLING
Ethernet cabling connects network devices like modems, routers and adapters. They send data
using the Ethernet protocols. There are eight color coded wires in cabling. These wires are twisted into
4 pairs of wires. Each pair has a common color theme. One wire is solid colored wire and the other is
primarily white wire with a colored stripe. The twist are important because they counteract the noise
and interference.
There are two basic ethernet cable pinouts- straight through and crossover. Ethernet cables can
come in two forms when it comes to wiring:

1. STRAIGHT THROUGH WIRING DIAGRAM

 2. CROSS OVER CABLE WIRING DIAGRAM

How to Make an Ethernet Cables?

The ability to create an internet cable can come in handy, whether the user needs to
create a specific ethernet cable or needs to fix existing one.

With some practice and following the standards procedure, the cables will work well,
below is the outline of the material and steps necessary in creating an ethernet cable

To do this:

1. First, determine the type of cable to be used. Newer networking

hardware, switches and routers are connected with a straight
through.
2. Get the right tools. The user should have a spool of UTP cable. If
the network is Gigabit ethernet, use Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable.
3. Skin off the cable jacket

4. Untwist each pair and straighten each wire

5. Cut all the wires

6. Insert the wires into the RJ45 connector

7. Place the connector into crimping tool, squeeze hard so that the handle reaches its full swing.

8. Use a cable tester to test for proper continuity.

What’s more

Assimilation

Direction: Match the cable type in column A with their meaning in column B. Write the letter of the
correct answer on separate sheet of paper.
A B
___1. Twisted pair a. A cable that has two or four pairs of wire.
___2. Coaxial cable b. Each pair of wire is wrapped in metallic foil.
___3. Fiber optic cable c. A copper-cored cable surrounded by a heavy shielding.
___4. UTP cable d. Is a type of copper cabling that is used for telephone
communications.
___5. STP cable e. A glass or plastic conductor that transmits information using
light.
