BRIEF INTRODUCTION

This module covers the knowledge and understanding on the identification of

materials, selection of tools & equipment, and follow OHS guidelines of electrical
wiring/electronics circuits in Computer Systems Servicing. It contains learning
activities on Computer Systems Servicing for you to accomplish.

Patch Panel
A patch panel is an array of ports on one panel.
Each port connects to another port located elsewhere
in your home, thru a patch cable.
To connect incoming and outgoing lines, patch
panels bundle multiple network ports together, including those for local area networks,
electronics, electrical systems and communications. They can link computers to other
computers and to outside lines when patch panels are part of a LAN. In turn, these lines
allow LANs to connect to networks in a wide area or to the Internet. Users simply plug
and unplug the appropriate patch cords to arrange circuits using a patch panel. With patch
panels, troubleshooting issues are simplified because all input jacks provide a single
location. In industries that require extensive sound equipment, they are often used
because they work well for connecting a variety of devices.

NETWORK CABLING
Also called as LAN Cabling or Ethernet Cabling
• It is the standard for connecting computers and devices to a LAN.
• ETHERNET is a LAN technology that defines a system for connecting computers
in a LAN and was developed by Robert Metcalfe at Xerox PARC in 1976.
• It can use Coax, UTP, and Fiber-Optic Cables.
• But UTP cable is the most popular choice in creating an Ethernet cable.
The Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable
• It is a popular choice creating an Ethernet cable. A UTP Ethernet cable uses
TIA/E|A-568 pin/air assignments.
• These assignments are named T568A and T568B. T568A and T5688 wiring
schemes define the pinout, or
• Order of connections, for wires in eight-pin modular connector plugs, and jacks
such as RJ-45.
PATCH CABLES
Straight-Through Ethernet Cable are used to connect devices of different types,
such as a computer to a router.
Cross-Over Ethernet Cable are used to connect devices of the same types, such
as a computer to computer.

TOOLS & MATERIALS
1. UTP Cable Category 5e is a type of twisted-pair cable that is used in
structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet.

2. Registered Jack 45 RJ-45 is an 8-pin standardized physical network

interface for connecting telecommunications or data equipment.

3. Wire Stripper is a small, hand-held device used to strip the electrical

insulation from electric wires.

4. RJ-45 Crimping Tool is a tool that is designed to crimp or attach a

connector to the end of a cable.

5. Lan Cable Tester is an electronic device used to verify the correct

wiring of connectors on the cable.

 REMEMBER
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS)
• Be careful with tools.
• Do not use excessive force if things do not quite slip into place.
• Clean the area before and after using it to maintain sanitation and prevent
accidents.
• Make sure that the pins are properly aligned.
