Question 1.
What is meant by Registered Jack? Explain briefly the types of Jacks.
Answer:
Registered Jacks:

  • A Registered Jack commonly known as RJ is a network interface used for network cabling, wiring, and jack construction.
  • The primary function of the registered jack is to connect different data equipment and telecommunication devices.
  • The commonly known registered jacks are RJ-11, RJ-45, RJ-21, and RJ-28.
  • The registered jack refers to the male physical connector (Plug), a female physical connector (Jack) and it’s the wiring.

RJ-11:

  • It is the most popular modern form of the registered jack.
  • It is found in the home and office.
  • This registered jack is mainly used in telephone and landlines.
  • There are 6 pins where
    • The two pins give the transmission configuration,
    • The two pins give the receiver configuration and
    • The other two pins will be kept for reserved.
    • The two pin will have the positive terminal and the negative terminal.

RJ-14 and RJ-61:

  • The RJ-14 is the same as RJ-11 which will be used for telephone lines where same it as 6 pins whereas the RJ-61 will have 8 pins.
  • This RJ-61 will use the twisted pair cable with a modular connection.

Question 2.
Explain wiring techniques used in Ethernet cabling.
Answer:

  • There are three types of wiring techniques to construct the Ethernet cable.
  • It is also known as color coding techniques. They are
    • Straight-Through Wiring
    • Cross-over Wiring
    • Roll-over Wiring

Straight-Through Wiring

  • In general, the Ethernet cables used for Ethernet connections are “straight through cables”.
  • These cable wires are in the same sequence at both ends of the cable, which means that pin 1 of the plug on one end is connected to pin 1 of the plug on the other end (for both standard – T568A & T568B).
  • The straight through wiring cables are mostly used for connecting PC / NIC card to a hub.
  • This is a simple physical connection used in printers, computers and other network interfaces.

Cross-over Wiring

  • Crossover cable is used to to connect two com¬puters or Ethernet devices directly together without a hub.
  • The pairs(Tx and Rx lines) will be crossed which means pin 1 & 2 of the plug on one end are connected with pin 3 & 6 of the plug on other end, and vice versa (3 & 6 to pin 1 & 2).
  • The Null modem Cables are the example of the crossover cables.

Roll-over Wiring

  • Rollover cable is a type of null-modem cable that is often used to connect a device console port to make programming changes to the device.
  • The rollover wiring have opposite pin arrangements, all the cables are rolled over to different arrangements.
  • In the rollover cable, the colored wires are reversed on other end i.e. the pins on one end are connected with other end in reverse order.
  • Rollover cable is also known as Yost cable or Console cable. It is typically flat (and light blue color) to distinguish it from other types of network cabling.

Question 3.
Explain about RJ45 connector.
Answer:

  • The RJ45 connector is a small plastic cup which will be used to connect the wire inside the connector and ready to connect the Internet.
  • The RJ45 connector looks similar like a telephone jack but it looks a slightly wider.
  • The Ethernet cables are sometime called as RJ45 cables.
  • In RJ45 the “RJ” stands for the Registered Jack and the “45” simply refers to the number of interface standard in the cable.
  • Each RJ45 connector has eight pins and connected to each end of the Ethernet cable, since it has 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) modular plug,
  • It is also known as 8P8C connector. These plugs (connector) are then inserted into Ethernet port of the network card.

Wiring schemes and color codes of the connector

  • The RJ45 connector has eight small jack inside to connect eight small wires of the patch cable.
  • The eight cables are in eight different colors. Let’s discuss that eight colors and where does that eight colors connect to the RJ45 connector.
  • Wiring schemes specifies how the wires to be connected with RJ45 connector. There are two wiring schemes available to terminate the twisted-pair cable on each end, which are T-568A and T-568B.
  • Although four pairs of wires are available in the cable, Ethernet uses only two pairs: Orange and Green. The other two colors (blue and brown) can be used ISDN or phone connections.

1. These Cables are generally made up of 8 wires in different colors.

2. Four of them are solid colours, and the others are striped.
3. The eight colors are white green, green, white orange, blue, white blue, orange, white brown and brown. The following figure 13.8 shows the patch cable.
Ethernet cables are normally manufactured in several industrial standards such as Cat 3, Cat 5, Cat 6, Cat 6e and cat 7. “Cat” simply stands for “Category,”. Increasing the size of the cable also lead to slower transmission speed.

4. The cables together with male connectors (RJ45) on each end are commonly referred as Ethernet cables. It is also called as RJ45 cables, since Ethernet cable uses RJ45 connectors.

2. RJ45 Connector:

  • The RJ45 connector is a small plastic cup which will be used to connect the wire inside the connector and ready to connect the Internet.
  • The RJ45 connector looks similar like a telephone jack but it looks a slightly wider.

  • It is divided into thinnet and thicknet cables.
  • These cables have a copper wire inside and insulation Is covered on the top of the copper wire to provide protection to the cable.
  • These cables are very difficult to install and maintain because they are too big to carry and replace.
  • The coaxial cable got its name by the word “coax”. Nowadays coaxial cables are also used for dish TV where the setup box and the television is connected using the coaxial cable only.
  • Some of the cable names are Media Bridge 50-feet Coaxial cable, Amazon basics CL2- Rated Coaxial cables, etc.

Twisted Pair Cables:

  • It is type of cable with two or more insulated wires twisted together.
  • It started with the speed of 10 Mbps (10BASE-T cable is used).
  • Then the cable is improved and the speed was higher and went to 100 Mbps and the cable was renamed 100BASE-TX.
  • Then finally the cable improved more made to 10 Gbps and named as 10GBASE-T.
  • This twisted cable has 8 wires which are twisted to ignore electromagnetic interference.
  • Also, the eight wires cannot be placed in a single unit there could be a difficulty in spacious, so it is twisted to make as one wire.
  • There are two types of twisted pair cables, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted pair (STP).
  • The UTP is used nowadays as modern cables for the Internet and they are lower in cost and installation and maintenance is easy compared to the coaxial cables.
  • STP is similar to UTP, but it is covered by an additional jacket to protect the wires from External interference.

Fiber Optics:

  • This cable is different from the other two cables.
  • The other two cables had an insulating material on the outside and the conducting material like copper inside.
  • But in this cable it is of strands of glass and pulse of light is used to send the information.
  • They are mainly used in Wide Area Network (WAN)/The WAN Is a network that extends to the very large distance to connect the computers,

Ethernet Cables:

  • Ethernet cable is the most common type of network cable mainly used for connecting the computers or devices at home or office.
  • This cable connects wired devices within the local area network (LAN) for sharing the resources and accessing the Internet.

Explain In Detail

Question 1.
Explain the Crimping process to make Ethernet cables?
Answer:
Crimping process for making Ethernet cables

  1. Cut the cable with the desired length
  2. Strip the insulation sheath about 1 inch from both ends of the cable and expose the Twisted pair of wires
  3. After stripping the wire, untwist the smaller wires and arrange them into the proper wiring scheme, T568B preferred generally.
  4. Bring the wires tighter together and cut them down so that they all have the same length ( Vi inch).
  5. Insert all 8 coloured wires into the eight grooves in the connector. The wires should be, inserted until the plastic sheath is also inside the connector.
  6. Use the crimping tool to lock the RJ45 connector on the cable. It should be strong enough to handle manual traction. Now it is ready for data transmission.
  7. Use a cable tester to verify the proper connectivity of the cable, if need.
