Network Cabling

Creating connections with UTP Cable


Learning Objectives
 List common cable types used in networking
 To know the different UTP cable Categories
 Demonstrate on how to create a working UTP
cable.

* This slide show will be supplemented with an actual video on how to create a
straight-through cable
Common network cable types
 Coaxial cable

 Unshielded
twisted pair

 Fiber optic
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)
Tools
 UTP cable
 RJ45 connectors
 Cable stripper
 Scissors
 Crimping tool
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?
Self-check

Job Sheet 1.1-1

Title: Tools and Testing Devices

Performance Objective: Given a Cat5 UTP cable and RJ45 connector,


create a straight-through cable and a
crossover cable.

Supplies/Materials: 10meters Cat 5 UTP Cable,

4pcs RJ45 Connector

Tools/Equipments: Crimping tool, Diagonal Cutter

LAN testers

Steps/Procedure:
1.Divide the 10meters Cat5 UTP cable into two equal parts using a diagonal
cutter.
2.Create a T568A Straight-Through Cable and a Crossover cable using the RJ45
connector and a crimping tool. (See diagram below for the color code).

3. Test cables using the LAN testers.

Assessment Method: Performance Criteria Checklist
