Ethernet Cable Configuration

The document discusses setting up computer networks and identifying and configuring Ethernet cables. It describes the tools and materials needed, including Ethernet cables, wire strippers, crimping tools, and network cable testers. It explains that a straight through cable connects two dissimilar devices using one of two wiring standards, T568A or T568B, and provides the steps to configure an Ethernet cable which includes stripping the cable, arranging the wires according to the standard, crimping the ends, and testing the cable.

INTRODUCTION
An effective Ethernet cable configuration
is one that provides stable and proper
wire crimp in every termination.

We need focus and awareness of the


safety in our workplace in performing
Ethernet cable configuration or the OHS
Standard. (Occupational Health and

What is Straight Through Cable?
A straight through cable is a type of
twisted pair cable that is used to
connect a computer to a local area
network, such as a switch.
It connects two dissimilar devices.

IMPORTANT NOTES
• Ethernet cable configuration is the process of creating LAN
cable that is used for interconnecting computers, routers,
switches and other network devices.

• Straight Through Cable configuration is used to connect


different network devices.

• A straight-through cable uses one wiring standard in


terminating both ends of the cable.
