E.
Concept: Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There
are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs. In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of
cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the
network's topology, protocol, and size. Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate
to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network.

(The class secretary will give the
list of absentees for the session)
Thank you!
5.
Checking of
Assignment
I told you to memorize the cable
sequence for Straight through
A/Straight through B and Crossover cable connector. Were you
able to memorize it?
Yes, Ma’am.
I hope you really memorized the
sequences because we will use it
today.
Before we start our lesson. Let us
have a review about our topic
last meeting which is changing
the workgroup and computer
name.
What are the steps in changing
workgroup/ computer name? Yes

Thank you very much!
Before we proceed with our
lesson. Let’s play a game. This
game called “Whispering Game”.
INSTRUCTIONS:
A message will be given to the
1st student. Then the 1st student
will transfer the message to the
next and the same procedure will
be followed until to the last.
Bond Paper and
Marker
(The students will listen
attentively.)
So, are you now ready?
What is the message given? Yes
_____.
Yes Ma’am!
Ma’am, this is the given message:

Presentation of the
Lesson
As you have said the message is
all about having a good
communication. But how is it
possible?
In channels of communication It
is possible through having the
sender and the receiver. Right
class?
Yes, Ma’am!
How about in CSS?
In CSS it is possible through the
use of a connecting media just
like air and network cables.
Right now we will focus on
cabling.

E.
Unlocking of
Difficulties
1. identify the steps in making
network cable;
2. describe the difference
between straight through
and cross-over network
cable;
3. show how to create
functional T568A/T568B
and Cross-over network
cable; and
4. give the importance of
cabling in Computer System
Servicing.
These are the terms that we will
encounter for this lesson.
_________ please read Category
5 cable (cat 5)
Power Point
Presentation
Category 5 cable (cat 5) is
a twisted pair cable for
carrying signals. This type
of cable is used in structured
cabling for computer such
as Ethernet.
How about Ethernet? Yes,
_____.
Ethernet is a physical and data link
layer technology for local area
networks (LANs).
How about networking cables?
Networking cables are used to
connect one network device to other
network devices or to connect two
or more computers to
share printer, scanner etc.

Test
(The Teacher will show how to
create a Cable sequence)
Step 1 – Strip cable end
Strip 1 – 1½” of insulating sheath
Avoid cutting into conductor
insulation
Step 2 – Untwist wire ends
Sort wires by insulation colors
So, what is the cable sequence of
T568A/T568B.
Step 3 – Arrange wires
Side Notes
T568A/ T568B are also called
Straight Thru connections which
are used in connecting different
devices.
A Cross-over connection on the
other hand is a combination of
both connection TIAs that is used
to connect similar devices.
In cross-over we have cable
sequence. Yes, _________.
Step 4 – Trim wires to size
Trim all wires evenly
Leave about ½” of wires exposed
Step 5 – Attach connector
Maintain wire order, left-to-right,
with RJ45 tab facing downward
Step 6 – Check
Do all wires extend to end?
Is sheath well inside connector?
Ma’am the sequence in TIA/EIA
568A: WG-G WO-BL- WBL-OWBr-Br
TIA/EIA 568B: WO-O WG-BLWBL-G -WBr-Br
Step 7 – Crimp
Squeeze firmly to crimp
connecter
onto cable end
Step 8 – Test
Does the cable work?
How to check
Straight Thru
(Any of the 2)
Cross-over
10 min.
INTEGRATION
Is there any questions?
Class let us have an activity.
Instructions:
ACTIVITY

Ready your UTP cable
and RJ45

Please pass these activity
sheets. You will notice
that there is a unique
watermark for every
activity sheets. For those
who got the activity
sheets with letter A
watermark you will
perform Straight thru
A/TIA 568A cable
sequence and with letter
B watermark you will
perform Straight Thru
B/TIA 568B and for those
who got the sheets with
letter C watermark you
will perform Cross Over
cable sequence.
Make sure it is working
by testing it using the
LAN Tester.


Make sure that when you
pass your UTP cables has
names on it. You may use
pieces of paper to write
your names and stick it to
the cable using tape.
You only have 10 minutes to
work on this.
Your UTP cables will be graded
based on these categories.
(I will show them the Rubrics
and explain how they will be
going to rate.)
You can now begin!
None, Ma’am!
5 min.
GENERALIZATION
Time is up. Please pass first the
activity sheet. Then pass next
your UTP cables.
How did you find the activity? Is
it easy or difficult?
It will be difficult at first but if
you practice frequently it will be
an easy task.
Again what was our topic all
about?
Ma’am, our topic is about Network
Cabling.
One last question. I did not
mention it directly but why do
we need to network our
computers? Yes____?
We need to network our computers
to access the other computers and
for the purpose also of sharing
information and resources.
Very good! Class, have you
learned something today?
Very good, are there any
questions?
You can now pass the UTP cable
you worked on.
Class before anything else let us
go back to our objectives, were
we able to:
1. identify the steps in making
network cable;
2. describe the difference
between straight through
and cross-over network
cable;
3. demonstrate how to create
functional T568A/T568B
and Cross-over network
cable; and
4. give the importance of
cabling in Computer System
Servicing.
Very well then, I think that is
enough for this day.
Is there any questions?
None, Ma’am!
