 OBJECTIVES
• Identify the different type of copper
cable splicing based (EIA/TIA).
• Perform T568A copper cable splicing.
• Value the importance of color coding
in performing copper cable splicing
 UTP Categories
Voice only (Telephone)- Cat 1 cable is 1 MHz, the most
Category 1
common Cable Category

Data to 4 Mbps (Localtalk)-cabling designed for telephone

Category 2 and data communications. The maximum frequency
suitable for transmission over Cat 2 cable is 4 MHz

Data to 10Mbps (Ethernet)- station wire, and less

commonly known as VG or voice-grade , was widely used
Category 3 in computer networking in the early 1990s

Data to 20Mbps (Token ring)- is a computer networking

Category 4
technology used to build local area networks.
Category 5 Data to 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet)- twisted pair cable for
Category 5e computer networks. Since 2001
Data to 2500Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)-standardized
Category 6
twisted pair cable for Ethernet

 OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the different types UTP Cable
category based on Electronic Industries
Alliance (EIA) and Telecommunications
Industry Association (TIA),
2. Know the materials used in copper
cabling.
Perform T568A and 568B copper cable
splicing by following the steps and using the
correct color code.
3.Value the importance of color coding in
performing copper cable splicing

Steps on how to
splice and
terminate
network cable
 Step 1 - Strip cable
end
• Strip 1 – 1½” of insulating sheath
• Avoid cutting into conductor
insulation
Step 2 - Untwist wire
• Sort wiresends
by insulation
colors
 Step 3 - Arrange wire
• TIA/EIA 568A: WG-G -WO-Bl- WBl-O -
WBr-Br
• TIA/EIA 568B: OW-O GW-Bl BlW-G
BrW-Br
 Step 4 - Trim wires
to size
• Trim all wires evenly
• Leave about ½” of wires
exposed
 Step 5 - Attach
RJ45 connector
• Maintain wire
order,
left-to-right, with
RJ45 tab facing
downward
 Step 6 -Check
• Do all wires extend to
end?
• Is sheath well inside
connector?
 Step 7 - Crimp
• Squeeze firmly to crimp
connecter onto cable end
(8P)
 Step 8 – Test
• Does the cable work?
Why is it necessary
to follow proper
copper cable
splicing in
Create a standard
T568A
straight through
cable.
