Network Cabling: Standards and their uses

UTP Cable   is a type of twisted-pair cable   that is not shielded   and is used mainly for communications.

Common uses:

It is used in telephony and computer networks, eg Ethernet LAN   and fast Ethernet.It has now also begun to use gigabit Ethernet networks.

There are different types of UTP cables can mention four of them:

- 568 A

- 568 B

- Crossover (combination of the standard "568 A" and the standard "568B")

- StraightThru

At first the standard "B" was used most, but now companies prefer the standard "A"

Advantages and disadvantages of UTP cable

Advantages:

- Cable thin, flexible, easy to cross between walls. 
- Small size, so do not fill up wiring ducts quickly. 
-   It costs less per mile than any other type of LAN cable. 

Disadvantages:

- Twisted pair's susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

Creation of UTP cable

For this we need the following materials:

- UTP Cable

- RJ45 Connectors

- Tester RJ45

- RJ45 Clamp

The first step is to identify the colors of the standard we're going to do, and sort of left to right. The teeth of the connector should be watching.

Then put the eight wires inside the RJ45 connector, making sure you are secure in their order.

With the grip tighten the connector and make sure not to move. It is noteworthy that the RJ45 connectors are disposable and can only be hit once.

When our cable ready as tested with the tester and all lights should turn in the order of the rule made.
