    ETHERNET CABLE CONFIGURATION

    INFORMATION SHEET 2.1-3


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, STUDENT(S) MUST be

    able to:

    Configure ethernet cable

    Straight Through (T568B) configuration

    Straight Through (T568A) configuration


    INTRODUCTION

    A good ethernet cable configuration


    termination provides a proper wire
    crimp. Also, important, is not
    unwinding the wires more than
    necessary.
    (Read Information sheet 2.1-1 for more information about Ethernet cable
    configuration)
    CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

    It is a type of configuration that enables users to


    connect similar devices such as, desktop to another
    desktop.
    STRAIGHT THROUGH CONFIGURATION

    It is a type of
    configuration that
    enables users to connect
    two dissimilar devices
    such as, desktop to
    switch.

    CONFIGURATION
    HOW TO CONFIGURE

    Tools and Materials

    Crimping tool

    Wire stripper

    RJ45

    Network cable tester


    HOW TO CONFIGURE

    PROCEDURES
    1. Strip the cables jacket back one full inch.
    2. Untwist the wires back to within 1/8" of the jacket.
    3. Arrange the wires in the order in which you want to crimp them, (T568A,
    T568B, etc.).
    4. Grasp the wires firmly, between your thumb and forefinger, flatten them,
    and even wiggle them a bit, to take out the curliness, (concentrate your
    efforts on the bottom 1/2") the wires must lay flat and together, aligned
    as close as possible.
    HOW TO CONFIGURE
    5. While holding the wires firmly, cut off the wires 1/2" from the cables
    jacket (Cut the wires with some sharp wire strippers or even high-quality
    scissors, avoid wire cutters that flatten the ends of the wires insulating
    material, this makes inserting the wires very difficult.)
    6. Insert the wires into the connector, making sure the wires stay lined up. *
    The wires should reach the end of the little tube they are in.
    7. The jacket should go even with the end of the first indent; if possible, it's
    a strain relief for the cable.
    8. Insert it into the crimping tool, and Crimp it!
    9. Use network cable tester to test your ethernet cable.
    IMPORTANT NOTES
    A straight through cable has an identical end.
    A crossover cable has different ends.
    A straight-through is used as a patch cord in Ethernet connections.
    A crossover is used to connect two Ethernet devices without a hub or for connecting
    two hubs/switches.
    A crossover has one end with the Orange set of wires switched with the Green set.
    Looking at the RJ-45 with the clip facing away from you, Brown is always on the right,
    and pin 1 is on the left.
    No more than 1/2" of the Ethernet cable should be untwisted otherwise it will be
    susceptible to crosstalk.
    Do not deform, do not bend, do not stretch, do not staple, do not run parallel with
    power cables, and do not run Ethernet cables near noise-inducing components.
