Network Cable Installation

The document discusses different types of network cables including unshielded twisted pair, coaxial, and fiber optic cables. It explains how these cables are used to build local and wide area networks, with details on cable categories and standards like Cat5e. Proper cable installation is emphasized, outlining tools needed and steps for terminating and testing basic straight-through network cables.

Network Cable

Installation
Overview
 What cable types are available?
 How do cables work?

 How are cables used in networking?

 How are connections made?


Learning Objectives

 Discuss the different types of Network and


cable
 Demonstrate the ability to make a working
straight thru network cables
 In 1844, Samuel Morse sent a message 37
miles -- from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore --
using his new invention, the telegraph. This
may seem a far cry from today's computer
networks, but the principles remain the same.
 Ethernet was developed in the mid-1970s
by Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs at
Xerox Corp. at its Palo Alto Research
Center in California. In 1979, and Intel
joined forces with Xerox to standardize the
Ethernet system. The first specification by
the three companies, called the Ethernet
Blue Book, was released in 1980; it was
also known as the DIX standard after the
company's initials.
The Golden Rules of Data Cabling
 Networks never get smaller or less
complicated.
 Build one cabling system that will
accommodate voice and data.
 Always install more cabling than you currently
require. Those extra outlets will come in
handy someday.
 Use structured-cabling standards when
building a new cabling system.
 Quality counts! Use high-quality cabling and
cabling components.
 Don’t scrimp on installation costs.
 Plan for higher speed technologies than are
commonly available today.
 Documentation, although dull, is a necessary
evil that should be taken care of while you’re
setting up the cabling system.
Common network cable types

 Unshielded
twisted pair

 Coaxial cable

 Fiber optic
UTP characteristics
 Unshielded
 Twisted (why?) pairs of insulated conductors
 Covered by
insulating sheath
UTP categories
Category 1 Voice only (Telephone)

Category 2 Data to 4 Mbps (Localtalk)

Category 3 Data to 10Mbps (Ethernet)

Category 4 Data to 20Mbps (Token ring)


Category 5 Data to 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet)
Category 5e Data to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
Category 6 Data to 2500Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
Cat5e cable
 1000Mbps data capacity
 For runs of up to 90 meters
 Solid core cable ideal for structural
installations (PVC or Plenum)
 Stranded cable ideal for patch cables
 Terminated with RJ-45 connectors

The 100Base-TX cable (Coaxial Cable)

 sometimes referred to as 100Base-T -- is the


most popular cable around, since it replaced
the 10Base-T and 10Base-2 coaxial cable
types. The 100Base-TX cable provides fast
speeds -- up to 100 Mbps -- and is more
reliable than the older cables because it
uses CAT5e cable.
1000BASE-T (fiber optic)
 The Gigabit Ethernet standard, also referred
to as 1000BASE, GbE or 1 GigE, is defined
by the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard and
provides 10 times faster transfer speeds than
100BASE Ethernet. Gigabit Ethernet is
today's industry Ethernet standard for
workstations, access points and access-level
switches.
BASIC TYPES OF NETWORKS:
 LAN - Local Area Network
 WAN - Wide Area Network
 WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
 MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
 SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area
Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes
Small Area Network
 CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area
Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network
 PAN - Personal Area Network
NETWORK
TOPOLOGY
WHAT IS A TOPOLOGY
 Two types of topology:

 Physical
• Refers to the layout of cables,
computer and other peripherals
 Logical
• Method used to pass the information
between the computers
TYPES OF PHYSICAL TOPOLOGIES

 Bus- the simplest network topology. Also


known as a linear bus, all computers are
connected to a contiguous cable or a
cable joined together to make it
contiguous.
 Ring- requires that all computers be
connected in a contiguous circle. The ring
has no ends or hub.
 Hub/Star all computers are
connected to a single, centrally
located point.
NETWORKING DEVICES
 NIC

 HUBS

 SWITCHES

 ROUTER

 MODEM
Making connections - Tools
 Cat5e cable
 RJ45 connectors
 Cable stripper
 Side Cutter
 Crimping tool

NETWORK CABLES
Step 1 – Strip cable end
 Strip 1 – 1½” of insulating sheath
 Avoid cutting into conductor insulation
Step 2 – Untwist wire ends
 Sort wires by insulation colors
Step 3 – Arrange wires
 TIA/EIA 568A: GW-G OW-Bl BlW-O BrW-Br
 TIA/EIA 568B: OW-O GW-Bl BlW-G BrW-Br
Step 4 – Trim wires to size
 Trim all wires evenly
 Leave about ½” of wires exposed
Step 5 – Attach connector
 Maintain wire order,
left-to-right, with RJ45
tab facing downward
Step 6 - Check
 Do all wires extend to end?
 Is sheath well inside connector?
Step 7 - Crimp
 Squeeze firmly to crimp connecter
onto cable end (8P)
Step 8 – Test
 Does the cable work?
