How to make a network cable.

Question:

How to make a network cable.

Reasoning:

Users who may be wiring their house or setting up their own network may want to create their own network cables to save money.

Answer:

To create your own network cables you will first need the equipment we have listed below.

1. Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 cable - These types of cabling is often purchased in large spindles at stores that specialize in cabling. Cat5 cabling is the most commonly used cable used today for networks
2. RJ-45 connectors - These connectors can be purchased at most electronic stores and computer stores and usually come in bulk packages. It's always a good idea to get more than you expect you will need.
3. Crimping tool - These tools are often purchased at electronic stores such as radio shack. To create a network cable you will need a crimper that is capable of crimping a RJ-45 cable (not just a RJ-11 cable, which looks similar to a RJ-45). ( PS: such as the factory which produce the crimping tool will not retail them to the End-user directly )
4. Wire stripper / Knife - If you plan on making several network cables you should also consider getting a wire stripper cable of stripping Cat5, Cat6, or your cable of choice. If you do not plan on creating many network cables a knife will suffice. For simplicity and to prevent potential issues we recommend a wire stripper. ( General Speaking, the stores which retail the above crimping tool will aslo sell wire stripper/knife )

Once you have the necessary equipment needed to create your own network cables you need to determine the type of network cable you wish to create. There are two major types of network cables: a straight through cable and a crossover cable. Below are some examples of what cable is used for each of

the examples.

Straight through cable

1. Computer to hub, switch, or router

Crossover cable

1. Computer to Computer
2. Network device to network device. For example: router to router.

Once you have determined the type of network cable you will be creating strip the cable, we recommend stripping at least a half of an inch off of the cable to expose the inner wires.

The type of network cables being created in this document is the most common CAT5 twisted-pair cables because each cable consists of four twisted wires, each color coded one a solid color and the other a stripped color. As seen below most network cables consist of a green, blue, orange, and brown pair of cables.

Because I cann’t show you the example piture here ( the system prohibits to show another photo in the edition page ). So if you would like to want, you can send one question letter to me ( e: lsdtools @vip.163.com)

There are two types of cable standards T568A and T568B, each twisted-pair must be broken apart to create the layout as shown above. If you wish to create a straight through cable both ends of the cable should be identical and should match the T568A

If you wish to create a crossover cable one end of the cable should match T568A and the other should match T568B.

Once you have separated the ends of the cable to match one of the above examples place the cables into the RJ-45 connector and then use the crimping tool to attach the connector( theres should be example picture ). Do these steps for each side of the cable.

Once both ends of the cable have been completed connect the cable to make sure it is working.
