Learners will read the procedure in creating cross over cable.
Direction: Students will create straight through cable using 5e or Cat5e- standard
wire for cabling coding arrangement, by following the steps in creating Cross
over cable.
(provided with the necessary tools and materials. Students will perform actual
procedure in creating Cross over cable.)
1. Strip off suitable length of the cable sheath.
2. Sort wires by insulation colors.
3. Align the colored wires according to the specific order.
4. Trim all the wires to the same length.
5. Insert the wires into RJ45 plug.
6. Maintain wire order, left to right, with RJ45 tab facing downward.
7. Crimp the RJ45 plug with the crimping tool.
8. Verify the order of the wires is correct making good contact with the
metal contacts in the RJ45 plug.
9. Repeat all the steps in creating the other end of the cable.
Generalization
A cross-over cable, can be used to connect two network devices directly, without
the need for a router in the middle. It simply reverses some of the pins so that
the output on one computer is being sent to the input of another. Bear in mind
that safety precautions must always be applied and observed during the
Analysis
fabrication of the said cables. Also, materials and tools to be used must always be
complete and functional to save time, money and effort.
Always take into considerations that before using the cable in connecting actual
devices. It is suggested that you must use a LAN tester first to check the
functionality of the cable.
The learners will demonstrate actual performance in creating cross over cable

wire.
Students performances will be evaluated/rated using the Performance Rubrics.
(the teacher will explain how the performances will be assessed through scoring
rubrics.)
