Creating a Straight-Through (Straight) LAN cable follows specific wiring standards to be used in a computer network. This type of cable is used to connect different types of devices , such as a computer to a switch or router . Materials Needed Before making the cable, prepare the following materials: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Cable (Cat5e or Cat6) RJ45 Connectors Crimping Tool Cable Stripper or Cutter LAN Tester (Optional, for testing) Standard Color Wiring for LAN Cables A straight-through cable uses the same color sequence on both ends, based on one of these two standards: 1. TIA/EIA-568A Color Sequence: White-Green Green White-Orange Blue White-Blue Orange White-Brown Brown 2. TIA/EIA-568B Color Sequence (More Commonly Used): White-Orange Orange White-Green Blue White-Blue Green White-Brown Brown For a straight-through cable , both ends must follow the same wiring sequence (either TIA/EIA-568A to 568A or 568B to 56...
