When working with cables like installing copper and fiber-optic cable
might cause danger through improper use, to prevent injuries or
accidents strictly follow safety rules. But for some, they use different
gadgets or suits to prevent unexpected harmful events that may hurt
us. The equipment below may be used as PPE
9
Safety rules when working with cables (OHS):
✔ Always wear safety glasses when cutting, stripping, or splicing cables of any kind.
Tiny fragments can injure your eyes.
✔ Make sure that the tools you are using are in good working condition.
✔ Watch what you are doing, and take your time. Make sure that you do not cut
yourself or place anyone in danger.
✔ Wear gloves whenever possible, and dispose of any waste properly

Personal Protective Equipment

✔ Anti-static wrist strap - It absorbs the static electricity of the material when being hold
by the hands.
✔ Coverall/apron- is worn by a person to prevent his body or clothes from any type of
dirt.
✔ Dust mask – is used to cover the mouth and nose from tiny particles when cleaning
computer peripherals.
✔ Gloves – are used in handling objects without hurting your hands.
✔ Goggles – are used to prevent tiny particles from entering our eyes.
✔ Shoes with a rubber sole and rubber mat – are used to avoid us from slippery.

Network cable installation and testing

✔ Network Cables are used to connect one network device to other network devices or
to connect two or more computers to share a printer, scanner, etc.

1. TYPES OF NETWORK CABLES

A wire with a center wire surrounded with

insulation and then a grounded cover of
braided wire to minimize electrical and
radio frequency interference.
This cable type used to be the main type of
cable used for company networks or
television transmission, with most
company networks using Ethernet

Coaxial cable

It is composed of 4 pairs of copper wires

which are intertwined or twisted in pairs for
the purposes of canceling out unwanted
signals which can cause undesired results
in the network.
10 This is one of the mostly widely used
communications media because it is
inexpensive and widely unavailable.
2. Twisted Pair cable
 A fiber optic cable is made up of bundled
glass or plastic fibers (threads) to transmit
data.
This option is generally faster than
coaxial cable as it has a much larger
bandwidth for transmitting data and is
much less susceptible to interference that
occurs with metal cables.
3. Fiber Optics

These are used depending on the network's topology, protocol, and size. The
devices
can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Ethernet) or nearly unlimited distances
(e.g. via the interconnections of the Internet).

✔ Unshielded Twisted Pair cable is most certainly by far the most popular cable around
the world. UTP cable is used not only for networking but also for the traditional
telephone.

Ethernet Cable Standard Color Arrangement

✔ The TIA/EIA 568-A standard which was ratified in 1995, was replaced by the TIA/EIA
568-B standard in 2002 and has been updated since. Both standards define the T-
568A and T-568B pin-outs for using Unshielded Twisted Pair cable and RJ-45
connectors for Ethernet connectivity. The standards and pin-out specification appear to
11
 be related and interchangeable, but are not the same and should not be used
interchangeably.
✔ Both the T-568A and the T-568B standard Straight-Through cables are used most often
as patch cords for your Ethernet connections. If you require a cable to connect two
Ethernet devices directly together without a hub or when you connect two hubs, you will
need to use a Crossover cable instead.
✔ A good way of remembering how to wire a Crossover Ethernet cable is to wire one end
using the T-568A standard and the other end using the T-568B standard. Another way of
remembering the color coding is to simply switch the Green set of wires in place with the
Orange set of wires. Specifically, switch the solid Green (G) with the solid Orange, and
switch the green/white with the orange/white.

Network Cabling Configuration

In an Ethernet networking environment – the computers need to be connected to a
central router to allow data transfer. The router takes all the bits being sent out by the
computers and relays them onto the other devices on the network.
✔ The straight-through Ethernet cable is used in the local area network to connect a
PC to a network hub and router. This is the standard cable used for almost all
purposes.

✔ A cross-over cable, on the other hand, can be used to connect two network devices
directly, without the need for a router in the middle. It simply reverses some of the
pins so that the output on one computer is being sent to the input of another.

What You Need To Create An Ethernet Cable:

✔ Ethernet Cable Category 5e or Cat5e- standard wire for cabling;
✔ RJ45 for Cable Category Cat5e;
✔ RJ45 Crimping tool;
✔ Wirecutter, stripper or pliers; and
✔ Ethernet cable tester.
Steps in Creating Ethernet Cable:
1. Unroll the required length of network cable and add a little
extra wire, just in case.

2. Carefully remove the outer jacket of the cable. Be careful

when stripping the jacket as to not nick or cut the internal
wiring using a wire stripper or scissor. You will notice 8
wires twisted in 4 pairs. Each pair will have one wire of a
certain color and another wire that is white with a colored
stripe matching its partner.

3. Inspect the newly revealed wires for any cuts or scrapes

that expose the copper wire inside. If you have breached
the protective sheath or cover of any wire, you will need to
cut the entire segment of wires off and start over at step
one. The exposed copper wire will lead to poor
performance or no connectivity at all. The jacket for all
network cables must remain intact.

4. Untwist the pairs so they will lay flat between your fingers.
The white piece of thread can be cut off even with the
jacket and disposed of.

13
5. Arrange the wires based on the wiring specifications you
are following. There are two methods set by the
Telecommunications Industry Association(TIA), 568A and
568B. Which one you use will depend on what is being
connected. A straight-through cable is used to connect
two different-layer devices (e.g. a hub and a PC).
Two like devices normally require a cross-over cable. The
difference between the two is that a straight-through cable
has both ends wired identically with 568B, while a cross-
over cable has one end wired 568A and the other end
wired 568B

6. Press all the wires flat and parallel between your thumb
and forefinger. Verify the colors have remained in the
correct order. Cut the top of the wires even with one
another so that they are 1/2" (12.5 mm) long from the
base of the jacket. Ensure that the cut leaves the wires
even and clean; failure to do so may cause the wire not to
make contact inside the jack and could lead to wrongly
guided cores inside the plug.

7. Keep the wires flat and in order, as you push them into
the RJ-45 plug with the flat surface of the plug on top. The
white/orange wire should be on the left if you're looking
down at the jack. You can tell if all the wires made it into
the jack and maintain their positions by looking head-on
at the plug. You should be able to see a wire located in
each hole, as seen at the bottom right. You may have to
use a little effort to push the pairs firmly into the plug.

8. Place the wired plug into the crimping tool. Give the
handle a firm squeeze. Once you have completed the
crimp, the handle will reset to the open position. To
ensure all pins are set, some prefer to double-crimp by
repeating this step

9. Repeat all of the above steps with the other end of the
cable. The way you wire the other end (568A or 568B) will
depend on whether you're making a straight-through or

14
 cross-over cable.

10. Test the cable to ensure that it is properly done using the
LAN tester. It is a device that is used to test the strength
and connectivity of a particular type of cable or other wired
assemblies. It test whether a cable or wire is set up
properly, connected correctly, and the communication
strength between the source and destination.

Steps in Network Cable Splicing and Patching:

1. Measure and Run the Cables
⮚ There are several ways to do this. You can estimate, measure from floor plans, run
one, etc.
2. Connect the Wires to the Patch Panel
⮚ Strip the sheath - Remove the cable sheath 2.54 cm (1 inch) from the end of the
cable.
⮚ Position wires in data jack - Position wires in the proper channels on the RJ-45
jack maintaining the twists as close to the jack as possible. The diagram that
follows shows an example of how to place the wires with one type of jack. Most
jacks have the channels color-coded to indicate where the wires go. The following
photo of the jack shows one model. Jacks are typically stamped to indicate
whether they are T568A or T568B.

Punch down the data jack

a. Use the punch tool to push conductors into the channels. Make sure to position the
cutting side of the punch tool so that it faces the outside of the jack. If this is not done,
it will cut the wire being punched. Try tilting the handle of the punch tool a little to the
outside, so it will cut better.
b. If any wire remains attached after using the punch tool, simply twist the ends gently to
remove them. Then place the clips on the jack, and tighten them. Make sure that no
more than 1.27 cm (one-half inch) of untwisted wire is between the end of the cable
jacket and the channels on the jack. Attach the faceplate.
c. Snap the jack into the faceplate by pushing it from the backside. Make sure when this

15
 is done, that the jack is right-side up so the clip faces down when the wall plate is
mounted.
d. Use the screws to attach the faceplate to either the box or to the bracket. If there is a
surface-mounted box, keep in mind that it might hold 30-60 cm (1-2 feet) of excess
cable. Then it will be necessary to either slide the cable through the tie-wraps or pull
back the raceway that covers it, to push the excess cable back into the wall. If there is
a flush-mounted jack, all that is needed is to push the excess cable back into the wall.

Punch down the patch panel

a. On the opposite end of the cabling,
remove the jacket 2.54 cm (1 inch)
from the cable.
b. Lay the wires down in the patch panel
so that the colors of the wires
correspond exactly to the colors
indicated on the pin locations in the
same manner as the data jack was
punched down.
c. Keep the sheath within .64 cm (¼
inch) of where the wires begin
branching out to their pin locations.
d. Do not untwist the wires more than
necessary to lay them down at the
pin locations. A good way to keep from untwisting too much is to hold down the wires
next to the patch panel with one finger while using the other hand to pull apart each end
as you lay it across the connector.

e. The following figure shows a large punch down patch panel with carefully routed cabling.

16
3. Test the data jack and patch panel terminations
a. Obtain two straight-through Ethernet patch cables and verify they both function
properly using a simple cable tester.
b. Connect one end of one of the straight-through Ethernet patch cables to the data jack
outlet and one end of the other straight-through cable to the jack at the patch panel.

c. Insert the opposite ends of the two cables into a simple cable tester and check for
continuity from end to end through both patch cables.

4. Connect the wires to the modular box.

a. Make sure the stripper is adjusted properly on a scrap piece of cable. The stripper
should be adjusted to only score the jacket to make removing it easier and not nick
the twisted pairs.

b. Straighten the pairs out completely and lay them over the top of the keystone jack
noting the color pattern for the 568b wiring. Note: Each keystone jack is slightly
different in how they are labeled and how the colors are arranged. The 568B
standard is most commonly used and ends of the cable must have the same
standards to communicate.
Three(3) most common keystone jack styles
1. The first jack pictured has the 2 standard pairs on the right and the 2 variable
pairs on the left. The A standard is the center column and the B standard is on
the left. Both A and B standard applies to the right side of the jack. The solid
color box with the lower right corner missing represents the solid color wire with
the white stripe. The white box with the colored tip represents the white wire with
17
 the colored stripe.
2. The second jack pictured here has both A and B standards on both sides of the
jack, with the color code running down the center. The solid color rectangle
represents the solid color wire with the white stripe, while the half-white half-color
rectangle represents the white wire with the colored stripe.
3. The third jack pictured here has the A and B standard codes labeled on the
outside of the jack. With the A standard on top and the B standard on the bottom.
The solid box represents the solid wire with the white stripe Wile the box with the
white diagonal stripe going through the middle, represents the white wire with the
colored stripe

c. Keeping the pairs as twisted as possible press the wire into the correct groove with
your thumbs. If you completely straighten the wires to run them through the jack, you
will risk cross-talk between the pairs.

d. Using a punch-down tool punch the wires down into the blades built into the
keystone jack. The blades in the jack are designed to work with solid cable, and
may not work with stranded cable. Make sure the blade (as noted in the picture) is
facing the outside of the keystone jack. If you reverse it you will cut the wires inside
the keystone jack rendering them useless. The punch down tool should cut off the
remaining pieces of the wire on the outside. Once you’re done, you can cover the
keystone jack.
