Lesson 2
What I Know
Direction: Identify the tools/materials used in LAN Cabling, write your answers in
your notebook/answer sheet.
__________ 1. It is used to crimp UTP cable to RJ45 connector.
__________ 2. It is the most common cable used in computer networking.
__________ 3. It is a multifunctional tool used to test functionality of cables, ports, and
network adapters.
__________ 4. It is used to punch individual wires in a network cable into their slots in
a keystone RJ-45 jack.
__________ 5. It is an eight-wire connector used to connect computers to category 5 unshielded twisted
pair cables in a network.
Loopback Plug – can be used to test a network cable or port by
connecting one end of the cable to a network port on a computer or another device,
and connecting the loopback plug to the other end of the cable. If the LED light on the
loopback plug lights up, the cable and port are good.
Cable Tester – is used to test a cable and to find out what type of
cable it is and also to locate the ends of a network cable in a building. A cable tester
has two components, the remote and the base.
Network Multimeter – is a multifunctional tool that can
test cables, ports, and network adapters.
Wire Stripper – is used to build or repair network cable and to
cut away the plastic jacket or coating around the wires inside a twisted-pair cable so
that you can install a connector on the end of the cable.
Crimper/Crimping Tool – is used to attach a terminator or
connector to the end of a cable by applying force to pinch the connector to the wires in
the cable to securely make a solid connection.
Punch down Tool – also called an impact tool, is used to
punch individual wires in a network cable into their slots in a keystone RJ-45 jack
that is used in an RJ-45 wall jack.
