LO2 Configure computer systems and networks
LO 2.3 - Create cross-over and straight-through cables

SPECIFIC LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

K

Identify the networking cross-over and straight-through Ethernet Cables;

STRATEGIES
SIMs
ROUTINE ACTIVITIES:
PRE- ACTIVITY:
Prayer
Checking of attendance
REVIEW: Identify devices/equipment needed for networking.
MOTIVATION: Video clip of Printer/File Sharing.
PRESENTATION:
Despite the advances in wireless technologies, many computer
networks in the 21st century still rely on cables as a physical medium for
devices to transfer data from one computer to another, so networking is
important.
ACTIVITY:
Group the students into three (3). Distribute the activity envelope. Give
students 15 minutes to finish the activity and then let them do the
presentation of their output.
ANALYSIS:

How long should the cable be stripped?

What is the sequence colors in your straight-through cable?
What is the sequence colors in your cross-over cable?
What can you say about the arrangement of colors of straight-through cable?
What can you say about the arrangement of colors of cross-over cable?

Straight-through
is type of wiring
that is one to
one connection
------ Cross- over
is type of wiring
which those
wires are got
switched.

ABSTRACTION:

What are the steps in creating a straight-through cable?

What are the steps in creating a cross-over cable?
How will you know that your cables are functioning or not?
What is the purpose of cross-over cable?
What is the purpose of straight-through cable?

APPLICATION:

You have 50 units computer systems and you want to distribute your internet
connection to these
computers in order to lessen your expenses, what cable connection will
you make?

What benefit will you get if you know how to make straight-thru and crossover cables?

VALUE STATEMENT:

Accuracy in the making of cross-over and straight-through cable.

ASSESSMENT:
