CABLE CRIMPING AND TESTING – STRAIGHT CABLE
- LEARNING OUTCOME: 3.4.2.1 Crimp and test Untwisted Pair (UTP) cable using straight cable technique
- 3.4.2.2 Exercise care and caution when crimping a cable
- DURATION: 2 periods
- REQUIREMENTS: CAT5E cable (3 meters), RJ45 connectors (2 units), Crimp tool, Cable stripper, Wire cutter, LAN cable tester
A cable is needed to connect a computer to a wired local area network (LAN). There are two types of cables. The first is the “straight cable” which is used to connect computers through a hub. The second type is the “crossed cable” for a direct connection between two computers without using a hub. Connecting these cables is called cable crimping. This module shows how to crimp a straight cable using Untwisted Pair cable and RJ45 connectors.
CABLE CRIMPING AND TESTING – CROSSED CABLE
LEARNING OUTCOME: 3.4.2.1 Crimp and test Untwisted Pair (UTP) cable using crossed cable technique
3.4.2.2 Exercise care and caution when crimping a cable
DURATION: 2 periods
REQUIREMENTS: CAT5E cable (3 meters), RJ45 connectors (2 units), Crimp tool, Cable stripper, Wire cutter, LAN cable tester
In module earlier, we learn how to crimp a straight cable. This module shows how to crimp a crossed cable using UTP cable and RJ45 connectors. Differences between these two wiring schematics are

In module earlier, we learn how to crimp a straight cable. This module shows how to crimp a crossed cable using UTP cable and RJ45 connectors. Differences between these two wiring schematics are
- For a straight through cable, both ends use the same wiring schematics.
- For a crossover cable both ends use different wiring schematics
