LAN Cabling

The document discusses network cabling and the process of creating network cables. It defines common networking terms like LAN, network cable, coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cable. It then outlines the 11 step process for creating UTP network cables including stripping cable, aligning wires, crimping connectors, and testing cables. Key materials needed are discussed like wire strippers, RJ-45 connectors, crimping tools, and cable testers.

NETWORK CABLING

By: Mr. Arjune L. Pantallano


WHAT IS LAN?
Stands for LOCAL AREA
NETWORK.
A local area network is a
computer network that
interconnects computers within a
limited area such as a residence,
school, laboratory, university
campus or office building.

What is LAN Cable?

LAN Cable / Network Cable Types of Network Cables:


used to connect one network ▰ Coaxial Cable

device to other network devices ▰ Optical Fiber Cable

or to connect two or more ▰ Twisted Pair Cable


computers to
share printers, scanners etc.

COAXIAL CABLE OPTICAL FIBER CABLE TWISTED PAIR CABLE
a type of transmission line, used to carry also known as a fiber optic cable, is an a type of wiring in which two conductors of a
high frequency electrical signals with low assembly similar to an electrical cable, but single circuit are twisted together for the
losses. It is used in such applications as containing one or more optical fibers that are purposes of improving electromagnetic
telephone trunk lines, broadband used to carry light. compatibility.
internet networking cables, high speed
computer data busses, carrying cable
television signals, and connecting radio
transmitters and receivers to their antennas.

“ WHAT ARE THE
MATERIALS NEEDED IN
CREATING NETWORK
CABLES?

UTP CABLE

Unshielded Twisted Pair


Cable

6
WIRE STRIPPER

a portable handheld tool


used by workers,
especially electricians, for
removing the protective
coating of an electric wire
in order to replace or
repair the wire.

7
RJ-45

Stands for Registered


Jack.
A connector used in
Ethernet and other data
links.

8
CRIMPING TOOL
a device used to conjoin
two pieces of metal by
deforming one or both of
them in a way that
causes them to hold each
other. The result of the
tool's work is called
a crimp.

LAN CABLE TESTER

an electronic device used


to verify the electrical
connections in a signal
cable or other wired
assembly.

“ WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN
CREATING NETWORK
CABLES?

11
1
STRIP YOUR CABLE

Use your cable strippers at about


1-2 inches from the end of the
cable to remove the outer jacket.

12
2
UNTWIST THE TWISTED PAIR WIRES ALL
THE WAY BACK TO THE JACKET

This can be done just like a


regular twist-tie on a loaf of
bread, but with four of them of
different colors.
13
3
ALIGN THE UNTWISTED WIRES IN THE
ORDER NECESSARY FOR YOUR NEEDS

For this scenario, you'll be making a straight-


through cable, which has both ends of the
cable with the same alignment of wires, so it's
easy enough to do. Since this is your first
cable, we'll consult the cheat sheet to know
what order we're aligning in!

14
STRAIGHT THROUGH CABLE

A B

A straight-through cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is used in local


15
area networks to connect a computer to a network hub such as a router.
CROSSOVER CABLE
A B

A crossover cable is a type of cable installation that is used for the interconnection of two
similar devices. It is enabled by reversing the transmission and receiving pins at both ends, 16
so that output from one computer becomes input to the other, and vice versa.
4
CUT THE EXTRA WIRE

Once you've untwisted the wires, you'll have a


superfluous amount of copper wiring left; we
don't need this much, but it's good to have it in
the previous step to help in aligning the colors
properly. Use the wire-cutting scissors to cut
these off.

17
5
PUSH THE REMAINING WIRES
INTO THE RJ45 HEAD

Be careful not to bend the wires while pushing them


in or you run the risk of creating a bad cable. You
also don't want too little or too much wire left in the
head; there's no definite length necessary, but it's
pretty obvious to tell if there's too much cable or not
enough. A short length of the jacket should be up the
RJ45 head; use this knowledge as a reference.

18
6
DOUBLE CHECK
Double-check that the wires are all
the way up into the gold pins of the
head and made it up in the proper
order.
(Consult your cheat sheet if needed!)
19
7
CRIMP
Push the head into the open space
of the crimping tool and squeeze it
closed, hard. If you don't crimp the
cable all the way, the head may
come off.
20
8
REMOVE CABLE

Open the crimping tool and remove


your newly-crimped Ethernet
connector.

21
9
REPEAT PROCESS
Repeat the crimping process on the
other side of the cable if you're
making a completely new cable. If
you're repairing one end, this won't
apply to you, so move
22
10
TEST YOUR CABLE
Insert your new Network Cable into the Cable
Tester. Turn it on and listen for the beep. If it
beeps once, you successfully made an
Ethernet cable; if it beeps twice, some part of
the cable is messed up and needs repairing.
Depending on the error, the cable may or may
not still be usable.

DONE

CONGRATS! YOU
HAVE A CREATED
A NEW NETWORK
CABLE ALL BY
YOURSELF.
