AIM:-Preparing straight and cross cables
Straight-Through Wired Cables Straight-
Through refers to cables that have the pin assignments on each end of the cable. In other words
Pin 1 connector A goes to Pin 1 on connector B, Pin 2 to Pin 2 ect. Straight-Through wired
cables are most commonly used to connect a host to client. When we talk about cat5e patch
cables, the Straight-Through wired cat5e patch cable is used to connect computers, printers and
other network client devices to the router switch or hub (the host device in this instance).
An Ethernet crossover cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices
together directly. Normal straight through or patch cables were used to connect from a host
network interface controller (a computer or similar device) to a network switch, hub or router. A
cable with connections that "cross over" was used to connect two devices of the same type: two
hosts or two switches to each other.
Nomenclature: let us first give a number scheme for cabling which we will
follow throughout this tuto. BROWN (8), BROWN WHITE (7),
GREEN (6), GREEN WHITE (3), BLUE (4), BLUE WHITE (5),
ORANGE (2), ORANGE WHITE (1)
Requirements: Two RJ45 Connectors, Crimping tool & CAT 5 cable of desired
length(less than 250 meters).
STEP 3.1:There are two standards adopted for Cabling EIA/TIA 568A & EIA/TIA 568B.
When you use single standard (either EIA/TIA 568A or EIA/TIA 568B) on both
On the other hand if you use different cabling standard on the ends of cable then the resulting
cable is CROSS CABLE
I’ll use EIA/TIA 568B standard for creating cross and straight cable
The figure below very well define the EIA/TIA 568B standard…
Of the Eight wires in Cat 5 not all are used for data transfer when using 100Mbps Ethernet card.
Only 2 pairs of cable are used i.e. 2 wire for transmitting signal and two wires
for receiving signal.
