STRAIGHT THROUGH CABLING
Objectives:
enumerate//review the tools and materials used in (Local Area
Network) LAN Cabling;
define straight through LAN cabling;
identify the color coding of wires used in straight through LAN
Cable;
perform a straight through LAN Cabling;
value the importance of following safety precaution while
working.
STRAIGHT THROUGH CABLE
 A straight through cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is used in local area
networks to connect a computer to a NETWORK HUB such as a ROUTER.

 This type of cable is an alternative to wireless

connections where one or more computers
access a router through a wireless signal.
NETWORK HUB
 A common connection point for devices in a network. Hubs serve as a central
connection for all network equipment and handles a data type known as frames.

ROUTER
 A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer
networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions
on the Internet.
Communication process
On a straight through cable, the wired pins match/. Straight through cable
use one wiring standard: both ends use T568A wiring standard or both
ends use T568B wiring standard.
