1.Give the uses of straight and

cross-over cable connection.
2.Identify the color combination of straight
and cross-over cable.
3.Demonstrate the straight and
cross-over cable connection.
4.Make a straight and cross-over
cable connection.
5.Appreciate the straight and cross-over
cable connection.
1. What are the different tools and
materials used in ethernet cabling?
Crimping tool, LAN tester, UTP
cable,RJ45,marker, and connector case.

2. What kind of connection presented in

the video?
Straight connection

3. How many conductors and colors used

in UTP cable?
8 conductors or 4-pairs twist wirings of
color combination

safety precautions while working.

5. I know how to use crimping tools.

6. I know the color combination for

straight and cross-over cable.

7. I know how to make straight and

cross-over cable connection.

TASK #1- MAKE A STRAIGHT CABLE CONNECTION
1. Cut the one end of the cable.
2. Strip/skin the outer sleeve of UTP cable.
3. Arrange the colour combination (see T568B below).
4. Cut straight the conductors.
5. Insert the wires to RJ45.
6. Insert the RJ45 to crimp the cables.
7. Test the straight cable.
TASK #2- MAKE A CROSS-OVER CABLE CONNECTION
1. Cut the one end of the cable.
2. Strip/skin the outer sleeve of UTP cable.
3. Arrange the colour combination (see T568A below).
4. Cut straight the conductors.
5. Insert the wires to RJ45.
6. Insert the RJ45 to crimp the cables.
7. Test the cross-over cable.
