The most obvious place to start is to make certain that you have the
right tools for the right job and complete equipment for a complete job.
While many people choose to ‘make due’ with what they have at the time,
the truth is that having the tool that is specifically designed for a specific
job, especially if it’s a job that you perform repeatedly, is a wise investment.
When it comes to the long run economic scheme of things, especially
business wise, the right tool for the right job is the smartest way to go.
In this section we will identify and obtain the needed tools, equipment
and testing devices in network cabling.

Safety in the workplace begins with a proper safety plan that is put
into place by management and observed by all trainees/ trainers. Certain
safety precautions must be strictly adhered to because if they are not,
certain people can put other people at risk.
In this section we will discuss the safety precautions in network
cabling.
Make sure that the tools you are using are in good working condition.
Watch what you are doing, and take your time. Make sure that you do
not cut yourself or place anyone in danger.
Always wear safety glasses when cutting, stripping, or splicing cables
of any kind. Tiny fragments can injure your eyes.
Wear gloves whenever possible, and dispose any waste properly.
Fiber-Optic Safety
Fiber-optic cables are useful for
communications, but they have certain hazards:
Dangerous chemicals
Tools with sharp edges
Light which you cannot see that can burn your
eyes
Glass shards produced by cutting fiber-optic cable that can cause
bodily harm
Specific types of tools and chemicals are used when working with
fiber-optic cable. These materials must be handled with care.
Chemicals
The solvents and glues used with fiber
optics are dangerous. You should handle them
with extreme care. Read the instructions on
the label, and follow them carefully. Also, read
the material safety data sheet (MSDS) that
accompanies the chemicals to know how to
treat someone in case of emergency.
Tools
When working with any tool, safety should
always be your first priority. Any compromise
in safety could result in serious injury or even
death. The tools used for working with fiber

optics have sharp cutting surfaces that are used to scribe glass. Other tools
pinch cables with high pressure to fasten connectors to them. These tools
can produce shards of glass that can splinter and fly into the air. You must
avoid getting them on your skin and in your mouth or eyes.
Glass Shards
The process of cutting and trimming the
strands of fiber-optic cables can produce tiny
fragments of glass or plastic that can penetrate
your eyes or skin and cause severe irritation.
The fibers can be extremely difficult to see on
your skin because they are clear and small.
When you work with fiber-optic cabling, the
working surface should be a dark mat so that
you can see the tiny glass or plastic fragments. The mat should also be
resistant to chemical spills.
You should keep the work area clean and neat. Never pick up fiber-
optic fragments with your fingers. Use tape to pick up small fragments, and
dispose them off properly. Use a disposable container, such as a plastic
bottle with a screw-on lid, to store fiber fragments. Close the lid tightly
before disposing the container.
Harmful Light
Protect your eyes from the harmful light that
may be in the fiber-optic strands. The light is a
color that humans cannot see. It can damage your
eyes before you can feel it. When you use a
magnifier to inspect fiber-optic cable and
connectors, the light emitted from the fiber could
be directed into your eyes. When working with
fiber, be sure to disconnect the light source. Use special detectors to help
you tell if a fiber is energized.

Two primary types of twisted pair cable industry standards have been
defined: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP).
Modern Ethernet cables use UTP wiring due to its lower cost, while
STP cabling can be found in some other types of networks such as Fiber
Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
Fiber Optics
Instead of insulated metal wires
transmitting electrical signals, fiber optic
network cables work using strands of
glass and pulses of light.

These network cables are bendable despite being made of glass. They
have proven especially useful in wide area network (WAN) installations
where long distance underground or outdoor cable runs are required and
also in office buildings where a high volume of communication traffic is
common.
Two primary types of fiber optic cable industry standards are defined –
single-mode (100BaseBX standard) and multimode (100BaseSX standard).
Long-distance telecommunications networks more commonly use single-
mode for its relatively higher bandwidth capacity, while local networks
typically use multimode instead due to its lower cost.
Straight-Through Cable
Straight-Through refers to cables that have the pin assignments on
each end of the cable. In other words Pin 1 connector A goes to Pin 1 on
connector B, Pin 2 to Pin 2 etc. Straight-Through wired cables are most
commonly used to connect a host to client. When we talk about cat5e patch
cables, the Straight-Through wired cat5e patch cable is used to connect
computers, printers and other network client devices to the router switch or
hub (the host device in this instance).
Crossover Cable
Crossover wired cables (commonly called crossover cables) are very
much like Straight-Through cables with the exception that TX and RX lines
are crossed (they are at oposite positions on either end of the cable. Using
the 568-B standard as an example below you will see that Pin 1 on
connector A goes to Pin 3 on connector B. Pin 2 on connector A goes to Pin 6
on connector B ect. Crossover cables are most commonly used to connect

Steps/ Procedure :
1. Cut into the blue/gray plastic sheath 1 inch from the end of the cut
cable with a wire stripper.
2. Unwind and pair the similar colors.
3. Pinch the wires between your fingers and straighten them. The color
order is important to do this correctly.
4. Use side/wire cutter to make a straight cut across the wires 1/2
inch from the cut sleeve to the end of the wires.
5. Push the wires into the connector. Each wire fits into a slot in the
RJ45 connector. Note the position of the blue plastic shielding. Also
note how the wires go all the way to the end.
6. Take view from the top. Make sure the wires are all the way in.
There should be no short wires.
7. Carefully place the connector into the Ethernet Crimper and cinch
down on the handles tightly.
8. Make sure to test the cables before installing them.
NOTE: The count of the cable tester must be the following:
SIDE 1 = 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
SIDE 2 = 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
