If you want, you can just choose the latest Cat number (8 at the moment) for future-proofing and not worry about the rest. Or, you could take a look at what each Category is suitable for in our handy list below: Cat 1 through Cat 5
Category 6 cable appeared at the start of the 21st century and remains popular with home networkers. Category 6 runs at up to 250MHz and sometimes used shielding around the bundle of data-carrying wires to reduce interference. Capable of moving up to 1Gbps over 330 feet, or 10Gbps for about half that, Cat 6A upgraded the spec to 500MHz for 330 feet of 1Gbps throughput. (See our primer on Gigabit-speed internet to learn why that 1Gbps threshold is so important.) Crimping tools are used to join or connect two components or pieces of material through compression forces. They work by squeezing the two parts together tightly enough to form a fairly permanent bond or seal. Different sorts of crimp tools have various additional functions along with this ability to compress and seal materials. Common examples include cutting, stripping, and bending. It helps if you can remember that the first three numbers are 123. So easy! 3 is the hook to get the final pair, as 12 times 3 gives the second pair. There are many different memorization hooks you can use. You are going to make one of these, but you can start off with a long CAT6 cable and make several smaller ones for practice following the RJ-45 Pinout diagrams above. They will come in handy later too. I always carry a patch cable in my toolkit for obvious reasons, so it is a good idea to get a long one anyway.Or using 1, 2, 3: the first numbers are 1, 2 and 3, and the last number is 1 x 2 x 3 which equals 6.
And you will probably want other cables in time. Additional Cables you might consider while you are at it: Before you can get started, you need to make sure you have the necessary tools, and decide whether you’re going to use Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cables (the ones with the spline to increase separation distance for performance reasons). You can remember which cables are switched by remembering twelve thirty-six to thirty-six twelve ( 12 36 to 36 12) for the Ethernet cable plug pin numbering above.
The best Ethernet cables to buy
We’re skipping these categories because they are very old, technically not even official Ethernet standards, and they have been discontinued or are too slow to be usable. Cat 5e Note: The term ‘patch’ cable is just another way to describe a shorter or room-run cable. Step 1: Cut and Strip RJ45 Pinout to make an Ethernet crossover cable. This is useful to visualize the ’12’’36’ to ’36’’12’ pinout rj45 crossover pattern, making it look simpler than it sounds. Note all we really have is the orange base color pair swapping with the green base color pair. I use the Pro3000 for toning and tracing out Ethernet wires. It’s especially handy when the cable installers don’t label any of the ports! If you are going to be installing cables – THEN LABEL THE PORTS please! An “F” means that there is a foil shield in place. That’s a layer of metal foil, copper, or aluminum, with a polyester cover for durability. It’s an inexpensive method to shield Ethernet cables and is very effective, but in certain environments, the foil can degrade over time and it’s prone to tearing.
I know you may not intend to do exams and become a certified computer network technician. However, this book does provide worthwhile knowledge before you start cutting and crimping to any large degree. The table below show the proper Ethernet plug wiring with orientation of the colored wires to the pins for the Cat6 Cable we’ll make (ie. the more common T568B standard cable, with a spine). See also the diagrams further below within the step by step instructions. T568B Std. Ultimately, choosing between these two Ethernet cables depends on your needs and budget. What type of Ethernet Cable RJ45 should I use for gaming? Yes, there’s a difference between a standard ethernet cable RJ45 and a crossover ethernet cable RJ45. Generally speaking, the two cables have different wiring configurations and may be used for different purposes.Once you have established which wiring convention you need to use, complete your RJ45 wiring by following these basic steps: Cat 6a Cable: Cat 6a Cable also known as Cat 6 Augmented offers higher data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps over longer distances than Cat 6 cables. The longer the better especially when trying to plug in to a wall port or switch that fortune has it way of in the distance. Or you can cut and practice more wiring and crimping.
