How to make a network cable
How to make a network cable VVOB – Bernard Kapinda Page 7 of 7 August 18, 2016 If you have done everything correctly up to now, the wires should almost automatically glide into the 8 canals of the connector. Once each canal has the correct wire inserted, push the cable firmly down the connector so that each wire is visible at the other end of the connector. Examine the canals with care to make sure every wire is sufficiently inserted and located under the pins of the connector. Check the color codes of the wires again as well; looking at both sides of the connector enables you to examine the color codes. 5. Use the crimping tool to fix the connector on the cable Once you have made it absolutely certain that all wires are in order and in place, just insert the connector into the crimping tool (there is just one way to do this), and press it firmly. This causes the pins to be pressed into the wires and make a firm electrical contact. 6. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for the other end Of course a cable must have a connector at both sides. 7. Check the connectivity of the cable If you have a cable tester, it makes life a lot easier, as you can just insert the cable connectors into the cable tester and run a visual test. The cable tester shows immediately whether the connections are functioning. If there is a bad connection, try to examine the connectors visually in order to decide if you have to start all over again (e.g. because you did not check on the correct order of the color codes) or if it still possible to correct the problem (e.g. maybe one pin was not pressed down entirely, not a common problem but it might happen with a cheap crimping tool). If you don’t have a cable tester available, try to connect a computer to the network, probably there is a computer that is already connected with another cable, just replace this cable with the new one for the sake of experiment and see if your connection still works. Summary This document focused on the production of a network cable. Although it is a rather simple process, it nevertheless requires some practice. Especially in the beginning it will be difficult to move the wires into the correct position. However, there is little that can go wrong if you follow the steps carefully. The advantages of possessing this knowledge are clear: making a cable of your own will save time and money and makes one less dependent on outside IT personnel. Also, you can make a cable of the length and color you want! Download 190.71 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
