Eight-core cables are used to connect computers to a local network. They differ not only in the speed of data transfer and the options for the location of the cores inside the connectors.
It is necessary
- - LAN connectors;
- - network cables;
- - crimp.
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to provide high speed communication between computers on the network, purchase the required number of 5e, 6 or 7 series cables. Note that low series cables are not capable of transmitting signals at speeds higher than 100 Mbps.
Step 2
Prepare the required number of LAN connectors. If there is an opportunity to purchase or take a crimp for a while, use it. This tool is designed to quickly strip the conductors of a network cable and secure the connector. Make sure that the network adapters installed in the computers to be connected support high-speed connections
Step 3
Remove the outer sheathing from the mains cable. Free about 5 cm. Now remove the insulation from each of the eight cores. In this case, you need to get 3 cm of bare wire. Cross-crimping is required to ensure data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps. In the first connector, the cables should be arranged as follows: 1 - White-orange; 2 - Orange 3 - White-green 4 - Blue 5 - White-blue 6 - Green 7 - White-brown 8 - Brown.
Step 4
Carefully place the wires in the desired grooves and connect the sides of the connector. Snap in the connector with a crimp. If you do not have this tool, then carefully sink each core into the groove. Try not to pinch the cable. This will reduce the speed of the network.
Step 5
Follow the same procedure for the second LAN connector. In this case, the cable layout will be slightly different: 1 - White-green 2 - Green 3 - White-orange 4 - White-brown 5 - Brown 6 - Orange 7 - Blue 8 - White-blue.
Step 6
Remember that this type of cable is designed to make a direct connection between two computers. If you plan to organize a network that will include switches or routers, then purchase cables of the sixth or seventh series and perform a direct crimp (first connector) at both ends.
