Experiment No. 1
1.1 Aim: Study of RJ45 and CAT6 Cabling and connection using crimping tool.
1.2 Course Outcome:
1.3 Problem Statement: To Study of RJ45 and CAT6 Cabling and connection using
crimping tool.
1.4 Theory:
Cables can transmit information along their length. To actually get that information where it
needs to go, you need to make the right connections to an RJ45 connector. Your cable run
needs to terminate into a connector, and that connector needs a jack to plug into. Registered
Jack 45 (RJ45) is a standard type of physical connector for network cables. RJ45 connectors
are commonly seen with Ethernet cables and networks. Modern Ethernet cables feature a
small plastic plug on each end of the cable. That plug is inserted into RJ45 jacks of Ethernet
devices. The term “plug” refers to the cable or “male” end of the connection while the term
“jack” refers to the port or “female” end.

Figure 1.2 T568A or T568B Wiring Standard
There are no transmission differences between T568A and T568B cabling schemes.
North America’s preference is for T568B. Both ends must use the same standard. It
makes no difference to the transmission characteristics of data.
T568B wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern.
STEP 1:
Using a Crimping Tool, trim the end of the cable you're terminating, to ensure that the
ends of the conducting wires are even.
Figure 1.3 Step 1
STEP 2:
Being careful not to damage the inner conducting wires, strip off approximately 1 inch of
the cable's jacket, using a modular crimping tool or a UTP cable stripper.
Figure 1.4 Step 2
STEP 3:
Separate the 4 twisted wire pairs from each other, and then unwind each pair, so that you
end up with 8 individual wires. Flatten the wires out as much as possible, since they'll
need to be very straight for proper insertion into the connector.
Figure 1.5 Step 3
STEP 4:
Holding the cable with the wire ends facing away from you. Moving from left to right,
arrange the wires in a flat, side-by-side ribbon formation, placing them in the following
order: white/orange, solid orange, white/green, solid blue, white/blue, solid green,
white/brown, solid brown.
Figure 1.6 Step 4
STEP 5:
Holding the RJ45 connector so that its pins are facing away from you and the plug-clip side
is facing down, carefully insert the flattened, arranged wires into the connector, pushing
through until the wire ends emerge from the pins. For strength of connection, also push as
much of the cable jacket as possible into the connector.
Figure 1.7 Step 5
STEP 6:
Check to make sure that the wire ends coming out of the connector's pin side are in the
correct order; if not, remove them from the connector, rearrange into proper formation, and
re-insert. Remember, once the connector is crimped onto the cable, it's permanent. If you
realize that a mistake has been made in wire order after termination, you'll have to cut the
connector off and start all over again!
Figure 1.8 Step 6
STEP 7:
Insert the prepared connector/cable assembly into the RJ45 slot in your crimping tool.
Firmly squeeze the crimper's handles together until you can't go any further.
Release the handles and repeat this step to ensure a proper crimp.
Figure 1.9 Step 7
STEP 8:
If your crimper doesn't automatically trim the wire ends upon termination, carefully cut wire
ends to make them as flush with the connector's surface as possible. The closer the wire ends
are trimmed, the better your final plug-in connection will be.
Figure 1.10 Step 8
STEP 9:
After the first termination is complete, repeat process on the opposite end of your cable.
Figure 1.11 Step 9
1.5 Conclusion:
1.6 Questions:
1. Explain the differences between T568A and T568B cabling schemes.
2. Write the difference between RJ45 and RJ11 connectors.
3. Compare different types of cables used in networking.
