1. Aim:
Study of different types of Network cables & their Color coding and
practically implement the cross-wired cable and straight through cable
using crimping tool.

2. Requirements(Hardware/Software):
RJ-45 connector,
Crimping Tool,
Twisted pair Cable.

3. Procedure:
• Strip the cable jacket about 1.5 inch down from the end.
• Spread the four pairs of twisted wire apart. For Cat 5e, you can use the pull
string to strip the jacket farther down if you need to, then cut the pull string.
Cat 6 cables have a spine that will also need to be cut.
• Untwist the wire pairs and neatly align them in the T568B orientation. Be
sure not to untwist them any farther down the cable than where the jacket
begins; we want to leave as much of the cable twisted as possible.
• Cut the wires as straight as possible, about 0.5 inch above the end of the
jacket.
• Carefully insert the wires all the way into the modular connector, making
sure that
DEPARTMENT OF

• each wire passes through the appropriate guides inside the connector.
• Push the connector inside the crimping tool and squeeze the crimper all the
way down.
• Repeat steps 1-6 for the other end of the cable.
• To make sure you've successfully terminated each end of the cable, use a
cable tester to test each pin. When you're all done, the connectors should
look like this:
