Background / Preparation
In this lab you will build and terminate Ethernet straight-through patch cables and crossover cables. With a straight-through cable, the color of wire used by pin 1 on one end is the same color used by pin 1 on the other cable end, and similarly for the remaining seven pins. The cable will be constructed using either TIA/EIA T568A or T568B standards for Ethernet, which determine which color wire is used on each pin. Straightthrough patch cables are normally used to connect a host directly to a hub or switch or to a wall plate in and office area.
With a crossover cable the second and third pairs on the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable are reversed at the other end. The pinouts for the cable are the T568A standard on one end and the T568B standard on the other end. Crossover cables are normally used to connect hubs and switches or can be used to directly connect two hosts to create a simple network. This is a two-part lab that can be done individually, in pairs, or in groups.
The following resources will be required:
• Two 0.6 to 0.9m (2 to 3 ft.) lengths of cable, Category 5 or 5e
• A minimum of four RJ-45 connectors (more may be needed if mis-wiring occurs)
• An RJ-45 crimping tool
• An Ethernet cable tester
• Wire cutters
