Look around you and observe the business section, education, organizations, social
media, and even individuals, everyone is very busy sharing messages and
information across key channels, and without you knowing it is already
networking.
Computer Network is a setup that joins two or more computers to share resources
and information. The integration of computers and various such gadgets allows
users to converse more effortlessly and considering the monetary value, it is less
expensive. For example, instead of buying one printer for every employee, why not
buy a single printer, connect it to the network, and configure it so that every user
in the company can print to it?
To have a good network, you must take other factors into account, like the
performance of your network connection, which includes transmitting time and
response time. The length of time needed for a message to get from one device to
1
another is known as the transmitting time. The period between a request and a
response is known as the response time. Numerous variables, such as the number
of users, the medium type used, and the technology, affect the network's
performance. Reliability of your network, network accuracy is measured by the
frequency of failure and the time it recovers from it. And the Security of your
network, which protects the data from unauthorized access, the prevention of data
loss and development, and the implementation of policies and processes for breach
recovery.
If you are planning to set up your network you must consider what type of network
communication medium you will use, the Wired Network uses wires such as copper
wire, twisted wire, and fiber optic cable to connect devices, or a Wireless Network
uses media that is made up of electromagnetic waves or infrared waves, or radio
frequency waves.

Let us see the advantages and disadvantages of both cables based on categories.

Types of Copper cable
Twisted pair cables come in the forms of UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) and STP
(Shielded twisted pair), which serve as transmission mediums and provide
dependable connectivity for electronic devices. The fundamental difference between
UTP and STP is that UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), is a cable containing wires that
are twisted together to prevent noise and crosstalk and it is the most prevalent type
of telecommunication medium used today, while STP (Shielded Twisted Pair), on the
other hand, is a twisted pair cable enclosed in a foil or mesh shield that protects
the line from electromagnetic interference. Despite having different designs and
manufacturing processes, both work toward the same purpose.
Understanding the different types of cables and their uses make it easy for you to
decide which cable best suit your network.
A Cable Splice is the joining of two or more conductors in a way that creates a
permanent electrical termination and mechanical link. Splicing can be in a form of
a crimping technique or the soldering process.
In splicing an ethernet cable, you should also consider the different devices in a
network. If you are going to network non-similar devices Straight-through cables
should be used otherwise, Cross-over cables for connecting similar devices. While a
Rollover cable, also known as Yost cable, Cisco cable, or a Console cable is a type of
null-modem cable that is used to connect a computer terminal to a router's console
port. The reason it is called a rollover is that one end's pinouts are the opposite of
4
the other, making it appear as though the wire has been turned over and you are
looking at it from the opposite side.

These two criteria are remarkably similar. The only difference between them is the
swapping of pairs 2 and 3 (green and orange).

Let us now learn how to splice and test the most common form of network cable.
Below are the tools and materials needed;
Materials
Registered Jack-45 (RJ 45) connector
- Is an 8-pin connector used for ethernet network
adapters.
UTP Cable
- is a type of computer networking cable that is
made of two shielded wires that have been twisted
around one another
Tools
Crimping Tool
- It is used to join two pieces of metal by deforming
one or both of the metals to hold each other.
Wire stripper
- It is used to remove cable jackets, or protective
covering to reveal the underlying wires.
Cable tester
- It is used to test the connectivity and strength of
the assemblies wire.

3. Arrange the wires in the right order.
The proper sequence is as follows from left to
right: Orange/White, Orange, Green/White,
Blue, Blue/White, Green, Brown/White,
Brown.
There are 8 wires and the wires labeled
Orange/White or Brown/White indicate
the small wires that have 2 colors.
7
7. Remove the cable from the tool and
check that all of the pins are down. When
you remove the connector from the tool, check
the pins to make sure they are all pushed
down evenly. To make sure the connector is
connected to the cable, give it a gentle twist.
If any of the pins aren’t pushed down,
put the wire back into the crimping
tool and crimp it again.
