Objective

The objective of this presentation is to understand Ethernet cabling


principles, LAN design, and network architecture for a computer lab.
The tasks include selecting cable types, identifying wiring standards,
and designing a network for 20 computers.

Use Connects different types of devices Connects similar devices (e.g., PC to


(e.g., PC to router) PC, switch to switch)
Wiring Both ends have the same wire Wires are swapped between the two
arrangement ends
Examples Connecting a computer to a
network device (router, switch) Connecting two computers directly

Pin Setup Pins match on both ends Some pins are crossed (swapped)

Modern Use Commonly used in most home and Mostly used in older networks or
office networks specific situations
T568A Wiring
• Ethernet cabling’s four pairs of wires always come in four colors:
 Green,
 Blue,
 Orange,
 Brown.
One of each pair will be a solid color; the other is striped with the color
and white. The colors are used to describe the order of the wires when
terminated.

T568B Wiring
• The T568B standard is very similar to T568A, except two pairs are
switched: green and orange. T568B wires are in the following order:
orange/white, orange, green/white, blue, blue/white, green,
brown/white, brown.

Steps for Terminating Ethernet Cables with RJ45
Connectors

• Strip the Cable: Remove about 1 inch of the outer jacket.


• Untwist and Arrange Wires: Separate the pairs and arrange them in the
required order (T568A or T568B).
• Trim the Wires: Cut the wires to the same length, about 0.5 inches from
the jacket.
• Insert into RJ45 Connector: Ensure the wires are fully inserted and in
the correct slots.
• Crimp the Connector: Use a crimping tool to secure the connector onto
the cable.
• Test the Cable: Use a cable tester to verify correct wiring.
Choosing a Topology
Choosing a Topology
Reasoning:
1. In star topology, all devices are connected to a central switch.
2. If one device fails, it doesn’t affect the rest of the network.
3. It’s scalable and easy to setup.
4. Easy to troubleshoot.
Those reasons making it ideal for a lab environment and also a better
choice compared to bus and ring topology.
