Well, imagine this situation: your LAN is on the third floor and
you must ‘remove’ it on the second floor, in the room, where old
rack is missing and all LAN cables are cut off and hang down to
the floor. On the upper floor we have something looks like this:
with around 40 PC in connecting to this rack ‘coming’ from the whole building. We have to remove all these cables to server rack on
down floor, where we have structure cabling system with cutting
cables on the rack end in a room, which is a server room but now
without server rack . Here are the tools we used:
The final result is :
If we have to connect hub to hub or PC to PC : one end will be T568A, other end T568B – so called crossover cable.
If we have to connect hub to PC: T568B must be on each end. One very useful link How To Crimp UTP cable to RJ45 Connector is
