1. Introduction
This lab test main objective is to build a UTP console crossover cable or straight-through and
crossovers Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Ethernet network cables and to test the cable for good
connections and continuity and also correct pinouts such as correct color wire on the right pin.
In this lab test, we will learn to terminate 0.6-to-0.9-meter lengths of CAT 6 cables with RJ-
45 connectors using a complete set of crimping tools and will ensure proper cable connectivity
through cable tester. After the perfect demonstration by our lecturer, we apply the example of cable
cutting, stripping, and also handling the twists within the cable. We also refer to some YouTube
videos for more detailed examples and explanation.
After following the industry standard using T-568A for proper pin configurations, we need to
crimp both of the RJ-45 connectors on both sides of CAT 6 cable. Once the crimping process is
completed, we use a UTP cable tester to guarantee the connection of the terminated cables. The
tester will identify any issues and concern that will allowing us to troubleshoot and precise the issues.
Throughout this lab test, we gained more knowledge and practical insights into the
significance of precise crimping techniques, cable organization, and the importance of testing the
cable for ensuring a reliable and also efficient network infrastructure.
In this lab test, there are 5 main equipment used for crimping network cables, which are 0.6-to-0.9
meter lengths of UTP cable category 6 or 6e, a minimum of four RJ-45 connectors, an RJ-45
crimping tool, wire stripper, and UTP cable tester.
In Diagram 2, we supplied with 4 RJ-45 connectors and 2 rubber boot protectors. RJ-45 connectors
are typically used to connect one internet-enabled device to another network device. For example,
a PC linked to a server, router, modem, smart TV, game console, or any other device that uses the
Ethernet protocol. RJ-45 connection enables a hardwired connection, which allows for faster
communication throughput, superior stability, and more security. This makes RJ-45 connections
desirable for both professional and personal use. The rubber boot protectors are to secure all of the
wire inserted into RJ-45 so that it will not rip off the wire standard arrangement.
In Diagram 4 shows a wire stripper that used for CAT 6 wire. A wire stripper is a hand gadget that
removes the protective covering, or jacket, from electrical wires. By removing the jacket, the wire
stripper allows the electrician to expose the wire for new applications or repairs.
There are two types of standards used in the networking and telecommunication industries, which
are TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 586B. These standards specify the sequence of the wires to insert
into RJ-45 connectors. However, in this lab test, we are using T-568A.
For UTP CAT 6 cables, the TIA/EIA-568-A standard provides the following pinout for the T568A
wiring scheme:

Untwist the four pairs of wires on 0.6-to-0.9 meter length cable by removing the outer covering.
The diagram 7 demonstrates the process of removing the outer coating of the cable with a stripper
and cut the cross-web seperator with same length of the wire that we already remove the outer
cover.
Untwisting the cable before crimping to ensures proper termination of wires to connectors, leading
to a stable electrical connection. Diagram 8 represents the twisted pair wire before we untwist it and
diagram 9 show after we untwisted the inside of CAT 6 cable.

2.3 Inspecting, crimping and re-inspect connector RJ45 with diagrams
Inspection, crimping, and re-inspection of an RJ-45 connection include a number of actions
designed to ensure a reliable and efficient termination of network cables.
The first step is to inspect the cable and connection for the damage, appropriate wire
alignment, color-coding standards. Next, during the crimping step, the outside before
inserting the cable into the RJ-45 connector, peel the insulation and untwist the inner wires
to ensure proper arrangement.
The crimping tool is used to tightly squeeze the connector onto the wires, resulting in
a strong connection.
During the re-inspection process, the crimp connection is thoroughly inspected to
ensure appropriate wire seating, color-coding, and no exposed wires.
As before, use a stripper tool to remove the outer coating of the cable, exposing the four
pairs of wires within. Untwist and straighten the wires to prepare them for termination. The
placement of the wires follows industry standards. TIA.EIA-568-A is a standard wiring
system.
The wires are placed into an RJ-45 connectors and aligned with their applicable slots. The
cable and connector are carefully examined for damage and proper wire alignment.
Followed color-coding guidelines.
A crimping tool is used to tightly squeeze the connector onto the wires, ensuring a strong
and stable connection. A re-inspection happens to properly examine the crimped
connection. Ensure appropriate wire seating, accurate color-coding, and no exposed wires.
It is essential to make sure that the cable is correctly terminated with connections on both

ends in order to test a cable using a cable tester. After being ready, turn on the cable tester,
keeping in mind that some models might need batteries, while others might require an
additional power source. Connect one end of the cable to the main or master unit and the
other one to the receiver remote unit of the cable tester. The cable tester will then analyze
the electrical characteristics of the cable and will show the result by displayed on the tester’s
indicator lights. This systematic approach ensures a comprehensive evaluation of the
cable’s integrity and functionality. For this lab test, our cable makes all of the indicator lights
lit up.
3.2 Testing cable connection using Static IP (Pc to PC) withdiagrams including setup and
configuration Ips
This testing method involves testing the cable connection between two devices within a
local network, such as two computers or laptops. Each device is manually assigned a
static IP address within the same subnet. There are a few steps that we use to test the
connection cable using static IP:
3.2.1 PC-1
Step 1: Give a name to the computer so that it is easy to identify on the network by
searching about in the computer’s setting and click rename this PC as shown in the
diagram 15, then rename the computer’s name to PC-1 just like in diagram 16 . After
that click restart now so the computer can save the new name as shown in diagram 17.
Step 3: Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click properties. In the next window,
initially everything will be empty and click on the ‘Use the following IP address’ and ‘Use the following
DNS server address’ to fill in the new IP address for the media sharing, click OK.
3.2.2 PC-2
Step 1: We also need to rename the computer’s name, for this computer we need to open
‘This PC’, right click on the empty field and select ‘Properties’. After that, click ‘Advanced
system settings’
Step 2: On this tab, select ‘Computer Name’ and click ‘Change’. Remove the old computer
name and write ‘PC-2’, click ‘OK’ and restart the computer so that it will save the changes
you made just like diagrams below.
Step 4: Select ‘Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click ‘Properties’. Choose ‘Use the
following IP address’ and ‘Use the following DNS server address’. Unlike the previous computer,
there will be slightly different on this computer. Check everything and click ‘OK’.
Step 5: Go to ‘Advanced sharing settings’ and change the Private, Public and All network just like
PC-1 and click Save Changes . Restart to save the settings, check all of the saved settings on both
of the computer.
Step 1: Open ‘This PC’ on PC-1 and click ‘Network’, it will pop up PC-1 and PC-2. Click on PC-2
icon because we want to transfer file to PC-2.
