Tools
Crimping Tool is basically an RJ-45 or RJ-11 cable pinching tool that curls the
little wires inside so that they attach to the connector head. The crimping tool is used
on both computer network and landline telephone cable.
LAN Tester assists users in the installation and control of networks. It is
normally used by technical service professionals and network administrators.
Wire stripper designed to remove insulation or outer sheath of a cable.
Materials
UTP cable is commonly used for network cable especially for Ethernet cable.
Ethernet cables can be wired as straight through or crossover. The straight through is
the most common type and is used to connect computers to hubs or switches. You
most likely will find it when you go to your local computer store and buy a patch cable.

RJ-45 connector is a plastic plug

Wiring Standard Basis
A RJ45 connector is a modular 8 position,
8 pin connector used for terminating
Cat5e patch cable or Cat6 cable. A pinout
is a specific arrangement of wires that
dictate how the connector is terminated.
There are two standards recognized by
ANSI, TIA and EIA for wiring Ethernet
cables. The first is the T568A wiring
standard and the second is T568B. T568B
has surpassed 568A and is seen as the
default wiring scheme for twisted pair
structured cabling.

1. CROSSOVER CABLES - cable is
a type of Ethernet cable used to connect
computing devices together directly.
The purpose of a Crossover
Ethernet cable is to directly connect one
computer to another computer (or device)
without going through a router, switch or
hub.
Use crossover cables for the following
cabling:
• Switch to switch
• Switch to hub
• Hub to hub
• Router to router
• Router Ethernet port to PC NIC
• PC to PC

2. Straight through cable is a
type of twisted pair cable that is
used in local area networks to
connect a computer to a network
hub such as a router. This type of
cable is also sometimes called a
patch cable and is an alternative to
wireless connections where one or
more computers access a router
through a wireless signal. On a
straight through cable, the wired
pins match. Straight through cable
use one wiring standard: both
ends use T568A wiring standard
or both ends use T568B wiring
standard. The following figure
shows a straight through cable of
which both ends are wired as the
T568B standard.
Use straight through Ethernet
cable for the following cabling:
● Switch to router
● Switch to PC or server
● Hub to PC or server
Pin name and function
1. Transmit Data Plus (TD+): The positive signal for the TD differential pair. The signal
contains the serial output data stream transmitted onto the network.
2. Transmit Data Minus (TD-): The negative signal for the TD differential pair.
This contains the same output as pin 1.
3. Receive Data Plus (RD+): The positive signal for the RD differential pair. The signal
contains the serial input data stream received from the network.
4. Not used.
5. Not used.
6. Receive Data Minus (RD-): The negative signal for the RD differential pair. The signal
contains the same input as pin 3.
7. Not used. Function Pin# Pin#
8. Not used. TX+ 1 1
TX- 2 2
RX+ 3 3
RX- 6 6
