narrative guide on how to fabricate utp cable

1. A. Straight Through Cable
You usuallyuse straightcable toconnectdifferenttype of devices.Thistype of cable will be
usedmostof the time andcan be usedto:
1) Connecta computerto a switch/hub'snormal port.
2) Connecta computerto a cable/DSLmodem's LAN port.
3) Connecta router'sWAN portto a cable/DSLmodem'sLAN port.
4) Connecta router'sLAN port toa switch/hub'suplinkport.(Normallyusedforexpanding
network)
5) Connect2 switches/hubswithone of the switch/hubusinganuplinkportandthe other one
usingnormal port.

B. CrossoverCable
Sometimesyouwill use crossovercable,it'susuallyusedtoconnectsame type of devices.A crossover
cable can be usedto:
1) Connect2 computersdirectly.
2) Connecta router'sLAN port to a switch/hub'snormal port.(normallyusedforexpandingnetwork)
3) Connect2 switches/hubsbyusingnormal portinbothswitches/hubs.

2. EthernetCable Tips:
 A straight-thru cablehasidenticalends.
 A crossovercablehasdifferentends.
 A straight-thru isused asa patch cord in Ethernetconnections.
 A crossoveris used to connecttwo Ethernetdevices withouta hub or for connecting two hubs.
 A crossoverhasoneend with the Orangesetof wiresswitched with the Green set.
 Looking atthe RJ-45 withthe clip facing away fromyou,Brown isalwayson the right,and pin 1 is on
the left.
 No more than 1/2" of the Ethernetcable should beuntwisted otherwiseit will be susceptibleto
crosstalk.
 Do notdeform,do notbend,do notstretch, do notstaple,do notrun parallel with powercables,and
do not run Ethernet cablesnear noiseinducing components.
