DAY 6 NETWORK CABLING
Straight-Through Cable
a type of twisted pair cable that is used in local area networks to connect a
computer to a network hub such as a router.
Steps in Creating Straight-Through Cable
1. Prepare the tools and materials.
2. Cut the twisted-pair cable based on the needed length.
3. Remove the outer jacket of the cable to expose the four pairs of wires inside.
4. Untwist the wires, make sure that they are free from any damage.
5. Arrange the wires based on the type of cable.
6. Cut the wires so that they will be of exact length, make sure that the ends of
the wires are aligned.
7. Firmly hold the cable and insert the wires into the RJ45 jack.
8. Check if the end of the wires touches the end of the RJ45 jack.
9. Plug the cable into the crimping tool, firmly squeeze it while securely holding the cable.
