This document discusses network materials, tools, and testing devices. It identifies twisted-pair cable, RJ45 connectors, and modular jacks as key network materials. Crimping tools, wire cutters and strippers, punch down tools, and LAN testers are described as important network tools and testing devices used for installing and verifying cable connections. The objectives are to recognize necessary network materials, classify the uses of tools and devices, and appreciate the importance of these components for networking.

1. Network materials, Tools
and Testing Devices

2. Objectives
1. RECOGNIZE THE NETWORK
MATERIALS TO USE.
2. CLASSIFY THE USES NETWORK
TOOLS AND TESTING DEVICE.
3. APPRECIATE THE IMPORTANCE
OF NETWORK MATERIALS, TOOLS
AND TESTING DEVICES.

3. Network Materials
• Twisted-pair
cable - are
cables that are
specifically used
in networking.

4. Network Materials
•RJ45 - a connector
attached to the
end of a twisted-
pair cable.

5. Network Materials
•Modular Jack - a
unique locking
system that
prevents accidental
unplugging
resulting from
shock and vibration.

6. Network Tools and Testing Devices
•Crimping tool - this
is a special tool used
to cut, hold, and
attach and RJ45
jack to the end of
the cable.

7. Network Tools and Testing Devices
•Wire Cutter and
Stripper - use to
cut and strip for
matching
different cable
sizes.

8. Network Tools and Testing Devices
•Punch down tool -
use to connect
network wires to
a patch panel and
modular jack.

9. Network Tools and Testing Devices
•LAN Tester - an
electronic device
used to verify the
connections in a
signal cable
assembly.
