All kinds of local networks are deeply rooted in our daily life. Now it is difficult to imagine a house or apartment in which there are several computers or laptops that are not interconnected by network cables or are not united into a common wireless network. When creating a wired LAN, it is sometimes necessary to lengthen the network cable.
Necessary
- sharp knife
- insulating tape
- switch
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to connect two network cables without any financial expense, you need electrical tape and a sharp knife. Cut one connector off each cable. Strip the outer insulation of the cables, but never peel the inner veins. Now peel off about two-thirds of all the wires inside the outer sheath. This is necessary in order to correctly connect the wires in pairs. Perform this operation for both cables that you plan to connect.
Step 2
Now connect two wires of the same color of different cables. To do this, cross them at the base and twist them together. Wrap the resulting bond with electrical tape. Do this for all other free wires. Rewrap the entire structure with insulating tape to avoid breaking the connections.
Step 3
If you have the opportunity to spend a small amount of money, then purchase a single-port switch. Just plug the ends of your network cables into different connectors. If you need to connect several network cables or split one cable, then purchase a switch with the required number of ports.
