Appendix B
Making a Network Cable
Network cables are used to transfer data between two devices or terminals. Network
cables are classified as follows:
l
By connection type: straight-through cables and crossover cables.
A straight-through cable is used for connecting a network card and a switch (including
a HUB and other devices). A crossover cable is used for connecting two switches
(including HUBs) or two network cards.
l
By physical type: shielded cables and unshielded cables.
Note:
Shielded cables and unshielded cables are prepared in a similar way. The procedure
for preparing an unshielded cable is used as an example.
An unshielded cable consists of two unshielded RJ45 connectors and four pairs of
eight-core twisted pairs, see
