10 Base T / 100 Base T Straight

10BaseT and 100BaseT are most

common mode of LAN. You can use UTP
category-5 cable for both modes. (You
can use UTP category-3 cable for
10BaseT, in which there are only 3 wires
inside the cable.)
10 Base T / 100 Base T Straight
A cross cable for 10BaseT and 100BaseT
is used to connect 2 computers directly
(with ONLY the UTP cable). It is also used
when you connect 2 hubs with a normal
port on both hubs. (In other words, the
cross cable is used relatively in a rare
case.)

UTP Cable Crimping RJ45

Tool Connector
Steps in making cable:

1. Remove the outmost vinyl

shield for 12mm at one end
of the cable (we call this side
A-side).
Steps in making cable:

2. Arrange the metal wires in

parallel (refer the each section's
wire arrangement table). Don't
remove the shield of each metal
line.
Steps in making cable:

3. Insert the metal wires

into RJ45 connector on
keeping the metal wire
arrangement.
Steps in making cable:

4. Set the RJ45 connector

(with the cable) on the
pliers, and squeeze it
tightly.
Steps in making cable:

5. Make the other side

of the cable (we call
this side B-side) in the
same way.
Steps in making cable:

6. After you made it, you don't need

to take care of the direction of the
cable. (Any cable on this page is
directionless, which means you can
set either end of the cable to either
device.)
How To See The Wire
Arrangement
How to see the wire arrangement
Take the UTP cable with your left hand and a
RJ45 connector with your right hand. Hold the
RJ45 connector in the way you can see the
contact metal face of the RJ45 connector.
To create a peer network, you must
have the following components:

• A network interface or Local Area

Network (LAN) adapter for each
computer. The same manufacturer and
model of network card is preferred.
To create a peer network, you must
have the following components:

• Cabling that is supported

by the network cards
To create a peer network, you must
have the following components:

• Windows XP or 7 drivers for

the network cards.
To create a peer network, you must
have the following components:

• A common network
protocol.
To create a peer network, you must
have the following components:

• A unique computer name

for each computer.
