Study Notes
Network Cabling Tools
- A stripper is used to remove the outer and inner jackets of a network cable.
Tone Generator and Probe
- A tone generator and probe are used in network cabling to identify and locate cables.
Twisted-Pair Network Cables
- Typically, a twisted-pair network cable contains four pairs of insulated copper wires.
Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) vs Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Cables
- STP cables are distinguished from UTP cables by the presence of a shielding material that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Noise and EMI Resistance
- Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cables provide more noise and EMI resistance than Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cables.
Crimping Tool
- The main purpose of a crimping tool is to connect or terminate cables by deforming metal pieces to join them.
- A crimping tool is commonly used to create RJ-45 cables.
IDC Tool
- An IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) tool is commonly used to connect wires to IDC connectors.
Punch Down Tool
- A punch down tool is also known as a Krone tool.
