How to UTP Cabling

UTP, stands for “unshielded twisted pair”. Called unshielded because less resistant to electromagnetic interference. And called twisted pair as it includes couples who are prepared spiral cable berlilitan alias each other. There are 5 categories of UTP cable. From category 1 to category 5. For the famous computer network is a category 3 and category 5.
Category 3 can be used for data transmission up to 10 mbps, while category 5 to 100 mbps. If only create such a network in your office or campus computer or internet cafe, yes the most efficient use of the category 3. That was more than enough.

As far as the writer there are many brands on the market, it’s just that stubborn and relatively cheap famous brand is Belden – Made in USA. If you want a cheaper and use a lot, then just buy one box, approximately 150 meters in length. Do not forget to buy the connectors. Shaped like a telephone socket connector only bigger.

Another very important, you must have a special pliers for installing the connector to the UTP cable, fancy term is “the crimp tool.” This tool is useful to ‘turn off’ or ‘planting’ connector to the UTP cable. So once already in the ‘tang’, then it can not be removed again connectors. And if you want a more OK, I’ll not bear the same buy a LAN tester. You can buy a brand from Taiwan just so much cheaper. Shaped like a box and there are LED lights his eight pairs and can-blink-resistant.

OK now you ready tools, the authors start. In general, the UTP cabling are of two types, namely straight and cross type. Type is called straight because each cable corresponding numbers were 1-1 8, directly. While called a cross because there are crosses on the composition of the cord. Confused?

OK! For the straight type is used to connect the cable from the client to the hub. While for the type of cross is to the client directly connected to the client (cpu to cpu) or also from hub to hub.

We first discuss the types of straight 
This type is most easily made. Why? Because the direct correspondence 1-1. Standard sequence like this: 2 orange – green 1 – 2 blue – green 1 – 2 brown. 2 orange here meaning the same pair of young orange dark orange and so on. But do not come standard staining was also really no problem. The important sequence of the cord. For example the first end of the first order of pins young orange, the other end of the first order of the pins must also be young orange, so between the end connect to each other. Actually, not all pins are used.

The important thing is the pin numbers 1,2,3 and 6. So for example which are connected only pins 1,2,3 and 6 while the other pins are not installed, no problem. For more details, please see the picture below is the author of a book of photographs.

Who left the order for the type of correspondence straight, the right of the cross

Time will install it, then cut the tip of the cord, then stacking the cord then flattened with a knife cutting at the crimp tool available. Andak not have to bother to let go at the end of the cable insulation, because when you insert the cable into the connector then pressed (pressed) using a crimp tool, when it was actually there at the connector pins that penetrate down to the wire. Consider, for emphasis (pressing) a hard, hard sometimes because if you do not pin it does not penetrate into the cable insulation. If you have then you test using the LAN tester. Insert the tip ends of the wires to the device, then turn it on, if the LED lights on the LAN tester that lights up everything, from number 1 to 8 means that you have been successful. If there’s one that does not work means the possibility of the pin numbers are no problem. The easiest way is that you press (press), again using the pliers. Possibility of the pin has not been transparent. If you press but still does not connect, then try to check the correspondence between pins 1-1 or have not already. If it was true and still fail, then indeed you are not lucky. Repeat again until it works.
