Cabling

4. NETWORK CABLING
Process of creating cable that will be used in
creating a network between computers,
routers, switches and storage area networks.

5. TYPES OF
CABLE

6. COAXIAL
— is consists of a core of copper wire surrounded by
insulation, a braided metal shielding, and an outer
cover.
— is the kind of copper cable used by cable
TV companies between the community antenna and
user homes and businesses.

7. TWISTED PAIR
Shielded and Unshielded
— STP. Uses a woven copper-braid jacket that is more
protective and of a higher quality than the jacket used by UTP.
It also uses a foil wrap around each of the wire pairs.
— UTP. Most commonly used in
computer networking.

8. FIBER OPTIC
— the medium of choice for any installation that is
sending high volumes of data.
— is a relatively safe way to send data because, unlike
copper-based cables that carry data in the form of
electronic signals, no electrical impulses are carried
over the fiber-optic cable.

9. MATERIALS
NEEDED FOR LAN
CABLING

10. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable. Most commonly used type of cable in
local area connection.
RJ45 Connector. An eight wire connector used to connect the computers
to Category 5 (CAT5) UTP cables in a network.
Wire Stripper. Used to remove the outer jacket of the wire.
Crimping Tool. Used to conjoin the UTP cable to RJ45 connector to
hold each other.
Cable (LAN) Tester. Used to test if the cable is properly done and can
control the network.

11. STEPS IN LAN
CABLING

12. .
1. Get the needed length
of the cable and add a
little extra wire, just in
case.

13. .
2. Carefully remove the
outer jacket of the cable.
Make sure not to cut the
wires inside. One good
way to do this is to cut
lengthwise with snips or a
knife along the side of the
cable, away from yourself,
about an inch toward the
open end.

14. 3. Check the wires for
any cuts that can expose
the copper wire inside. If it
has any, you will need to
cut the entire wires off
and start over at step one.
Because exposed copper
wire will lead to poor
performance of
connectivity.

15. 4. Untwist the pairs and
lay it flat. The white piece
of thread can be cut off
even with the jacket and
disposed. For easier
handling, cut the wires so
that they are 3/4" (19 mm)
long from the base of the
jacket and even in length.

16. 5. Arrange the wires
based on the wiring
specifications you are
following.

17. 6. 568B Straight Through
Connection Wire Color
Coding
 white orange
 orange
 white green
 blue
 white blue
 green
 white brown
 brown
Make sure that the color
arrangement is in correct
order.

18. 7. Press all the wires flat
and parallel between your
thumb and forefinger. Cut
the top of the wires even
with one another so that
they are 1/2" long from
the base of the jacket
leaving a 1/2" of room for
the individual cables.
Ensure that the cut wires
are even and clean.

19. 8. Keep the wires flat
and in order as you push
them into the RJ-45 plug
with the flat surface of the
plug on top. You can tell if
all the wires made it into
the jack if the wire is
located in each hole. You
may have to use a little
effort to push the pairs
firmly into the plug. Verify
that the sequence is still
correct before crimping.

20. 9. Place the wired plug
into the crimping
tool. Give the handle a
firm squeeze. Once you
have completed the crimp,
the handle will reset to the
open position. To ensure
all pins are set, some
prefer to double-crimp by
repeating this step.

21. 10. Repeat all the steps
with the other end of the
cable.

22. 11. Test the cable to
ensure that it will function
in the field. Miswired
connection could lead to
physical damage of
computers or phone
system equipment. A
simple cable tester can
quickly verify that
information for you.
