Study Notes
- When making a network connection, the copper inside the wires is connected to RJ45 connectors using sharp prongs that extend the copper into the connector, creating a connection with the device being plugged into.
- The copper on the outside of the RJ45 connector is utilized by the device.
- To create a custom ethernet cable, one needs a crimper, electrician scissors, and a wire stripper.
- Different cable types require specific connectors.
- Practice is necessary to make proper connections.
- When working with wireless networks, a Wi-Fi analyzer can be used to understand frequencies and identify interference.
- Tone generators and inductive probes are used to locate specific cables in large environments.
- Some networks use punch down blocks, requiring tools to permanently connect wires to the block, cutting off excess wire after making the connection.
- Organization is important when working with punch down blocks due to the management of many cables.
