NETWORKING

TOOLS
DEVICES ,TOOLS and MATERIALS
ROUTER

This is a hardware device that routes data (hence the

name) from a local area network (LAN) to another
network connection. A router acts like a coin sorting
machine, allowing only authorized machines to
connect to other computer systems
ACCESS POINT/ REPEATER

An access point is a station that transmits and receives data

(sometimes referred to as a transceiver). An access point
connects users to other users within the network and also can
serve as the point of interconnection between the WLAN and
a fixed wire network
Repeaters are used to extend transmissions so that the signal
can cover longer distances or be received on the other side of
an obstruction.
NETWORK SWITCH

A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging

hub, officially MAC bridge) is a computer networking
device that connects devices together on a computer
network by using packet switching to receive,
process, and forward data to the destination device.
PATCH PANEL

A patch panel in a local area network (LAN) is a

mounted hardware assembly that contains ports used
to connect and manage incoming and outgoing LAN
cables. Patch panels are also referred to as patch bays,
patch fields or jack fields.
 PUNCH DOWN TOOL / INSERTION TOOL

A punch down tool, also called a krone tool, is a small hand

tool used by telecommunication and network technicians.

It is used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement

connectors on punch down blocks, patch panels, keystone
modules, and surface mount boxes (also known as biscuit
jacks).
LAN CABLE TESTER

A cable tester is a device that is used to test the

strength and connectivity of a particular type of cable
or other wired assemblies.
CRIMPING TOOL

A crimping tool is a device used to conjoin two pieces

of metal by deforming one or both of them in a way
that causes them to hold each other.
The result of the tool's work is called a crimp.
A good example of crimping is the process of affixing
a connector to the end of a cable
CAT5e KEYSTONE/ WALL JACK

Keystone jacks are used in the wiring system of LAN

and Ethernet connections
 TWISTED PAIR CABLES
UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR (UTP)

Short for unshielded twisted pair, a popular type of cable that

consists of two unshielded wires twisted around each other.
Due to its low cost, UTP cabling is used extensively for local-
area networks (LANs) and telephone connections. UTP cabling
does not offer as high bandwidth or as good protection from
interference as coaxial or fiber optic cables, but it is less
expensive and easier to work with.
SHIELDED TWISTED PAIR (STP)

Shielded twisted pair is a special kind of copper

telephone wiring used in some business
installations. An outer covering or shield is added
to the ordinary twisted pair telephone wires; the
shield functions as a ground.
RJ45

An 8-pin/8-position plug or jack is commonly used to

connect computers onto Ethernet-based local area
networks (LAN).
COAXIAL CABLE

A coaxial cable is a type of shielded and insulated

copper cable that is used in computer networks
and to deliver cable TV services to end users.
 FIBER OPTIC CABLE

A fiber optic cable is a network cable that contains

strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing.
They're designed for long distance, very high-
performance data networking, and
telecommunications.
CABLE RACEWAY

Cable raceway is a simple, organized solution for

managing lengths of industrial cable and wire.
