Twisted-Pair Cabling

There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling. Category 5 is

the most reliable and is highly recommended. Category 3 is a good second

choice. Straight-through cables are used for connecting computers to a hub.

Crossover cables are used for connecting a hub to another hub (there is an

exception: some hubs have a built-in uplink port that is crossed internally,

which allows you to link or connect hubs together with a straight-through cable

instead).

You can buy pre-made Category 5

cabling, or cut and crimp your own.

Category 5 cables can be purchased or

crimped as either straight-through or

crossover. Inside a Category 5 cable are

8 thin, color-coded wires inside that run

from one end of the cable to the other.

All 8 wires are used. In a straight-

through cable, wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one

end of the cable are also wires 1, 2, 3,

and 6 at the other end. In a crossover

cable, the order of the wires change from

one end to the other: wire 1 becomes 3,

and 2 becomes 6. See the diagrams on

the next page for more detailed informa-

tion on straight-through

and crossover cabling.

To determine which wire is wire number 1, hold the cable so that the end of the

plastic RJ-45 tip (the part that goes into a wall jack first) is facing away from

you. Face the clip down so that the copper side faces up (the springy clip will

now be parallel to the floor).When looking down on the copper side, wire 1 will

be on the far left.
