LAB 1 : Cables preparation and interconnecting LAN OBJECTIVES a.

Preparing two types of networks cables which is straight and crossover. b. Interconnecting network e !ip"ents. EQUIPMENTS a. Cri"per b. Cable tester c. #$P cable d. %&'( socket PROCEDURES a. )irst of all* we have to prepare for two cables that are straight and crossover cables. b. By !sing cri"per* c!t the cable to divide the cable into two as shown in pict!re below. )or crossover cable "ake it a bit shorter than the straight cable so that can be recogni+e easily.

Cutting cable using crimper

c. Based on the cable arrange"ents fig!re below* arrange the two cables. %e"e"ber to do it on the both sides of the cables.

Straight cable

Crossover cable

d. After the arrange"ents are done* p!t it in the %&'( socket. )ig!re below is the pict!re of %&'( socket.

RJ45

e. $o "ake s!re that the arrange"ents are correct we will test the" !sing cables tester. By connecting the cable to tester* observe if the light is on or not. If the light is on "eans that the cable can be !se.

Testing the cable
