ICT 10 - Week 05

The document provides instructions for fabricating straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables. It explains the color-coding process for each type of cable and includes images showing how to strip and crimp the wires into RJ45 connectors. Students are assigned tasks to complete a criss-cross puzzle about cable types and illustrate sample computer networks.

Cable Fabrication Procedures

In the previous module, we have discussed the different types of cables to be


used in configuring computer networks. This time, we will study the procedures on
how to fabricate network cables for Straight-Through and Cross-Over connections.

The color combination as follows:


Cross-Over: (A) (B)
White Orange White Green
Orange Green
White Green White Orange
Blue Blue
White Blue White Blue
Green Orange
White Brown White Brown
Brown Brown

Straight-Through: (A) (B)


White Orange White Orange
Orange Orange
White Green White Green
Blue Blue
White Blue White Blue
Green Green
White Brown White Brown
Brown Brown
Note: For Straight-through connection, the same color combination is used in
both ends of the cable.

The picture below will serve as your guide in making the two important
Ethernet cables using CAT5 UTP Cable.

1. Cut into the plastic sheath 1 inch from the end of the cut cable. The
crimping tool has a razor blade that will do the trick with practice.

2. Unwind and pair the similar colors.

3. Pinch the wires between your fingers and straighten them out as shown.
The color order is important to do this correctly.

4. Use wire cutter to make a straight cut across the wires 1/2 inch from the
cut sleeve to the end of the wires.

5. 5. Push the wires into the connector. Each wire fits into a slot in the RJ45
connector. Note the position of the blue plastic shielding. Also note how
the wires go all the way to the end.

6. Take view from the top. Make sure the wires are all the way in. There
should be no short wires.

7. Crimping the Cable – carefully place the connector into the Ethernet
Crimper and cinch down on the handles tightly. The copper splicing tabs
on the connector will pierce into each of the eight wires. There is also a
locking tab that holds the blue plastic sleeve in place for a tight
compression fit. When you remove the cable from the crimper, that end is
ready to use.

8. For a standard "Straight-Through" cable, repeat all steps and wire color
order on the other end of cable. For a cross-over cable - the other end will
have a different color order as shown by the crossover picture on page 84.
9. Make sure to test the cables before installing them. An inexpensive
Ethernet cable tester does this quite well.

I. Criss-Cross Puzzle Directions: Complete the criss-cross puzzle and


familiarize yourself of the cables being described. Write your answer in
a clean sheet of paper.

4|Page
Across
1. each pair of wires is wrapped in metallic foil
3. one or more optical fibers enclosed in a sheath or jacket
5. used to connect two devices directly
6. cable that has two or four pairs of wires
7. the standard cable used for almost all purposes

Down
1. cable that has a very thin core
2. cable that has a thicker core
4. used for telephone communications and Ethernet networks
5. copper-cored cable

II. Assessment.
Activity 1: Drawing Mode
Direction: Draw and illustrate a simple office Computer Network
composed with 5 computer units, 1 printer and 1 internet modem in a
short bond paper. (You may search the internet for concrete examples.)
Activity 2: Google ME!
Direction: Search on the internet 3 different pictures of establishments /
offices that have computer networks and illustrate how does they share
data and information. (print or draw the pictures on a separate short bond
paper and your illustration can be hand written or type written. Don’t
forget to write your Name and Section on the top of the paper.)
