A. Daily Routine
1. Prayer
2. Arrangement of chairs and cleanliness
3. Checking of Attendance via seat plan
4. Others
B. Lesson Proper
1. Review of the past lesson
LAN or Local Area Network is a connection of computers within a room or
building that is in the same location.
Using this Network we can use peripheral connected to one computer such as
Printers to printer files or documents from the other computer.
b. Raised Up Question:
The teacher will ask at least 2 students the following questions:
What do you want to know or to learn about the topic that will be answered
after the discussion?
The teacher will show the objectives of the lesson over PowerPoint
Presentation.
The teacher will introduce the topic to the class.
Crimping Tool/Crimper
A device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by deforming one or both of
them in a way that causes them to hold each other. Used to crimp UTP cable
to RJ45 connector
RJ-45
Registered Jack 45 is a standard type of connector for Ethernet network
cables. It is an eight-wire connector used to connect computers to category 5
unshielded twisted-pair cables in a network
LAN Tester
Local Area Network Tester or cable tester is an electronic device used to
verify the electrical connections in a cable or other wired.
LAN Cabling
the process of creating the cable used to create a network that interconnects
computers.
d. Application
Steps in LAN cabling:
1. Prepare all the materials needed.
2. Carefully remove the outer jacket of the cable.
3. Untwist the pairs and arrange the wires based on Straight-Through wiring.
4. Trim the untwisted wires to a suitable length.
5. Keep the wires flat and in order as you push them into the RJ-45.
6. Place the wired plug into the crimping tool.
7. Repeat all the steps with the other end of the cable.
8. Test the cable using the LAN Tester.
e. Analysis
The teacher will ask the following questions to students:
What are the devices that use Straight-Through cable wiring?
How do you know the accuracy of your Straight-through cable?
Can you explain what must have happened to the UTP cable and RJ45 when
LAN tester won’t give accurate light as expected?
Can we reuse RJ45? Why?
f. Generalization
LAN Cabling is a process of creating a LAN Cable which is used in
interconnecting computers. Straight-Through cable is just one of the three types of
LAN cable. The other two types of LAN cables are Cross-over and Roll-over
cables. Each cable type has a distinct use, and should not be used in place of
another. Straight-Through cable is used to connect computers, printers, and other
network client devices to the router switch or hub.
IV. Assessment
B. & C’s answers are based on how they perform their task and the quality of their finished
product.
A. Follow-up Assignment:
1. What is Cross-over LAN cable?
2. What is the color coding of Cross-over LAN cable?
B. Advance Assignment:
1. What are the Structured Cabling Systems?
2. Identify and describe the elements that are recommended for structured cabling
networks.
