General Competency: LAN Cabling
Specific Competency: Straight-Through and cross over LAN cable
Tools and Materials: Laptop, Projector, Popsicle stick, UTP Cable, RJ-45, Crimping Tool, Wire Stripper,
LAN tester & Poster (color coding for cable)
Reference: Technical Vocational Livelihood - Computer System Servicing
Value integration: Sense of following directions
III. Procedure:
A. Preparations:
1. Daily Routine
 Opening Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of attendance
B. Presentation
1. Motivation Activity: “COLOR CODING GAME”
a. The teacher will provide eight pieces of colored popsicle stick to students (Groupings)
b. Teacher will show poster/picture showing the first group of color combination for 15 seconds.
c. Each group will group the eight pieces the same order as it was seen from the picture shown for 15
seconds
d. Repeat the step (b-c) with different color combination
2. Lesson Proper:
2-1. Activities
 Identification Activity: Network Hand Tools
a) Display the different hand tool name on the board and let the student try to match it to the
actual hand tool [Cat 6 (UTP cable), RJ-45, Crimper, wire stripper & Lan tester]
b) Give the function of each hand tool
Network Hand tools and its function:

Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable – most common cable used in computer

networking. Number of twisted-pair wires are often grouped together and enclosed in a
protective sheath to form a cable.
RJ-45 Connector – registered jack 45 is an eight-wire connector used to connect
computer to category 5 unshielded twisted pair cables in a network.
Wire Stripper – Used to remove the outer jacket of the wire.
Crimping Tool – used to crimp UTP cable to RJ-45 Connector.
LAN Tester – Assists in the installation and control of networks
  Demonstration Activity: Straight through /Crossover cabling
a) Integrate the motivational activity to introduce straight through/Crossover cable
b) Option 1: show the video about network cabling through computer & projector
Option 2: actual demonstration of how to create a network cable.

c) Group students and provide UTP cable to each group for a hands-on activity

Steps in LAN Cabling

1. Prepare all the materials/tools needed.
2. Carefully remove and inch of the outer jacket of the cable.
3. Untwist the pairs and arrange the wires to suitable length.
4. Trim the untwisted wires to suitable length
5. Keep the wires flat and in-order as you push them into the RJ-45.
6. Place the wired plug into the crimping tool.
7. Repeat all the steps with the other end of the cable
8. Test the cable using the LAN Tester.
2-2. Analysis
 How useful is computer networking in your life?
 Which hand tools are needed for creating network cable?
 Which color combination would make straight through cable? How about the crossover
cable?
 How to create a straight through cable? How about the crossover?
2-3. Abstraction
LAN/Network Cabling is the process of creating which is used in interconnecting
computers. There are two types of LAN/Network Cable: The Crossover and Straight
Through.
Straight-Through LAN cable have standard color codes of T568A on Side A and
T568B on side B. The color of the wires are White Green, Green, White Orange, Blue,
White Blue, Orange, White Brown, Brown. It commonly used to connect a host to client.
It is used to connect computers, printer and other network client devices to the router
switch or hub.
Crossover LAN cables have standard color codes of T568A side A and T568B on side B.
The color of the wires are White Green, Green, White Orange, Blue, White Blue, Orange,
White Brown, Brown and in the other side the colors are White Orange, Orange, White
Green, Blue, White Blue, Green, White Brown, Brown.
It is commonly used to connect two hosts directly. Examples would be connecting
computer directly to another computer, connecting a switch directly to another switch, or
connecting a router to router.
 There are several tools and materials used in LAN/Network cabling like UTP Cable,
Wire stripper, crimping tool, RJ-45 and LAN tester.
2-4. Application:
Directions: Per group will create a Straight-Through or a Crossover LAN cable by
following the steps for 10 minutes. (Teacher will observe the student as they
do the activity for giving score)
Safety Precaution/Reminders:
Avoid Playing around
Use the proper tool
Always be on task
Avoid unnecessary noise
Be Alert
