The document discusses teaching students how to properly terminate LAN cables based on TIA/EIA standards. It includes demonstrating the cable termination process, having students practice in groups, and assigning them a homework on comparing different cable types. Key points covered are the tools and materials for cable installation, color combinations in straight through and crossover cables, and ensuring students can correctly perform cable termination following proper procedures.

1. What have you learn
in our last meeting?

2. What are the commonly used
networking tools and materials?

3. LAN cable

4. Crimping tool

5. Wire stripper

6. RJ45

7. LAN tester

8. We already knew the tools
and materials needed in
network cable installation.
Now is the time to utilized
these tools and materials
to perform the actual
termination of the cables.

9. Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Perform copper cable splicing based in Electronic
Industries Alliance / Telecommunications Industry
Association (EIA/TIA) standards.

10. Are you excited?

11. To get you more excited
and energized..

12. Lets have a Game!
a. Lets create 4 groups (count 1 to 4)
b. Each group will be given a manila paper, glue,
scotch tape, scissors and the first set of eight(8)
colored paper strips
c. Teacher will present the first color combination
for 30 seconds.
d. Each group will be given a minute to discuss and
arrange the paper strips in the same order as it
was presented.

13. Lets have a Game!
e. Paper strips will be glued to the manila paper.
f. Repeat steps c to e for the second set of paper
strips.
g. Representative from each group will present their
work at the board.
h.The group will get a point for each correctly
placed color.

14. Start grouping yourselves
Find a place for your group
Select your representative
On a sheet of paper (1/4 intermediate paper):
Write your group number and
the names your member
Submit it to the teacher

15. Everyone, do I have
your attention?
It’s time for the first color
combination to be presented.

16. Are you ready?

17. 1st Color Combination

18. Start arranging
the paper strips.

19. Time is up!
Everybody, please stop any
activity regarding the task.
It’s time for the second color
combination to be presented.

20. Are you ready?

21. 2nd Color Combination

22. Start arranging
the paper strips.

23. Your time’s up!
Representatives, please tape
you work on the board.
Representatives will now
present your work on the board.

24. Which group/s got it right?

25. What do you think
the game is all about?
Have you noticed how many
colors are there in each set?

26. Recall how many wires
do a LAN cable have.
How about the number of
pins on an RJ45?

27. Don’t forget about the color
combinations. We might be
needing them again.

28. Are you energized now?

29. Are you still excited?

30. Are you ready to perform
the cable termination?

31. Not quite so.
Not until I teach you the
correct procedure of doing it.

32. Steps in LAN Cabling
1. Prepare all the tools/materials needed.
2. Carefully remove an inch of the outer jacket on the
cable.
3. Untwist the pairs and arrange the wires base on
T568A/T568B wiring.
4. Trim the untwisted wires to suitable length.
5. Keep the wires flat and in order as you push them
into the RJ45.
6. Placed all the wired plug into the crimping tool.
7. Repeat all the steps on the other end of the cable
8. Test the cable using the LAN tester.

33. Were you able to
digest the procedure?
Do you need some
clarifications?

34. To equip you better, I will
give a demonstration.

35. Let me put some
emphasis first to the
“not so easy” steps.

36. T568A and T568B
Color Coding

37. Straight through

38. Crossover

39. Incorrect insertion of
untwisted pairs on RJ45

40. Correct insertion of
untwisted pairs on RJ45

41. Correct and incorrect insertion
of untwisted pairs on RJ45

42. LAN tester

43. I will provide each group
with its own materials
so that you can practice
as I demonstrate.

44. Representatives,
please get your tools
and materials here.

45. Please give your full
attention and perform
as I demonstrate.

46. Were you able to follow
the procedure or do
think that you have done
something different?

47. Lets use the LAN tester
to check your works.

48. How is the result of your
cable testing? Did the
LEDs lit up according to
the expected outcome?

49. Did you encounter
any difficulties?

50. Are there ways to avoid
these difficulties?

51. Pass through RJ45

52. Modular Plug RJ45
Load bar

53. Why do we need to learn
about the straight through
and crossover cabling?
Where do we use them?

54. MDI/MDIX (medium-
dependent interface/MDI
crossover) is a type of Ethernet
port connection that uses
twisted-pair cabling to link two
networked devices.

55. MDI/MDIx

56. Auto-MDIX configures the
cable connection
automatically, allowing both
crossover and straight
through cabling to be used.

57. What did we have
learn today?

58. LAN Cabling is the process of
creating a cable which is used
in interconnecting computers.

59. The two common LAN
Cabling are straight
through and crossover.

60. Straight through uses
T568B on both ends
while Crossover uses
T568A in one end and
T568B on the other end.

61. T568A color code – WG, G,
WO, Bl, WBl, O, WBr, Br
T568B color code – WO, O,
WG, Bl, WBl, G, WBr, Br

62. Straight through – different device type
Crossover – same device type
Auto MDI-X – automatically detects

63. Any question or clarification?

64. Everyone is ready.
I will let you perform/
assemble a straight through
or crossover cable now.

65. Directions: Students will
perform/assemble a Crossover
LAN cable by following the
correct procedure for 10 mins.
LAN testing is excluded.

66. Safety Precaution/Reminders:
Avoid playing around
Use the proper hand tool
Always be on task
Avoid unnecessary noise

69. Let us check your work.

70. As an ICT student, do
you still need to learn
the crossover cabling?

71. Not all innovations in
networking cabling are
widely used even though
they are much efficient.
Why is it?

72. Do you think you can
contribute in the
innovation of network
cable installation?

73. Assignment:
1. What is Coaxial Cable and Fiber Optics? (20 points)
2. Compare Twisted Pair, Coaxial Cable and Fiber Optics. Cite at
least 5 advantages and disadvantages for each cable type. (20 pts)
