How to Make a LAN Cable (UTP) Straight and Cross

     This time I will memberitaukan the steps in making a LAN Cable (UTP) with the composition of Straight or Cross, for a friend who might be interested in making your own LAN cable.

     First, first prepare the tools and equipment to be used, such as:

• LAN cable (UTP)
• RJ-45 Connector
• Crimping Pliers / Pliers Clamps

     If the above devices are readily available, then it is ready to make this LAN cable. Well, to make it easier to find out where the location of Pin 1 on the RJ-45 Connector, See the image below:

Techniques in a LAN using UTP cabling there are 2 kind, namely Straight and Cross.

1. Straight / Straight

   Used on connections that use a lot of computer (Client) to make the connection with multiple computers using a switch of course, we need a scheme of each computer on the LAN cable connected to a switch that, in contrast to the system per to per which only uses 2 computers. Straight LAN cable is a cable that has a way of mounting the same between one end with the other end.

     How to Make it: 

• Peel outer skin LAN cable (UTP) about 2 cm so it looks like the inside wiring in the image below:

• Separate cables therein and Align. Arrange and trim based on color White, Orange, White Green, Blue, White Blue, Green, White Chocolate, and Chocolate. Then cut the tip of his so mean to each other.
• If it's been longer with each other, Insert cable into the RJ-45 Connector In accordance with the arrangement of colors above, namely:

• Then, use crimping pliers to crimp RJ-clicking-45. Then, Cable was ready to use.

2. Cross / Cross

   Wiring techniques cross / cross is used to connect 2 computers directly (without switch / hub) or often referred to as per to per. Usually used to connect the uplink between switches, but not all switches have an uplink facility. Cross LAN cable is a cable that has a way of fixing that have a different arrangement between the end of one with the tip of her again.

     How to Make it:

• Do the exact same thing with Straight LAN cable to the second end of the cable.
• To the other end change in the composition of the cable into the RJ-45: White Green, Green, White Orange, Blue, White Blue, Orange, White Chocolate, Chocolate.

• Enter the cord into the RJ-45 Connector in accordance with the order as shown above.
• Use crimping pliers to crimp RJ-clicking-45.
• Kabelpun is ready for use.

Checking the Cable Connections :

   By using the LAN tester: turn the key on to use LAN tester. Then insert both ends of the LAN cable to the LAN provided by the tester. Consider the indicator lights on the LAN tester, whether the order in accordance with what we want. If the wires according to function properly.

The depiction of the difference between the function and arrangement Straight Cross, as follows:

Thus How to make a LAN cable. If there are less obvious, my friend can comment. May be useful.
