Wiring your own male RJ45 plugs to the end of a suitable network communication cable requires just a few simple tools. Fixing a new connector is usually cheaper than replacing an entire Ethernet cable. Other reasons you may want to wire them yourself include:
Straight through LAN cables are the most common, and the pinout is the same if they are Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat 7. The different types of cables (category or cat) offer increasingly faster transmit and receive speeds. This is achieved by increasing the wire twists, better shielding, drain wire, and increased diameter. Also, with virtually all consumer gear, such as routers, motherboards and Ethernet cards, max out at 1000 megabits or 1 Gbps. So for the time being, and likely years to come, the typical user will not be able to take advantage of the 10 Gbps and faster speeds of the Cat6a and higher cables.See patch cables for the details of making a crossover cable; if you make one, mark it so clearly that you'll never confuse it. There are two different pinout standards used worldwide, and depending on your location, you will determine which one you should use. An easy way to remember the two different RJ45 connector pinouts is T568A is used in America and Asia, and T568B is used in Britain(UK) and Europe. The different pinouts will still work if you mix them up. Hub-to-hub interconnects need a special crossover cable, as does a hub-to-DSL-router connection, or a 2-node hubless network. Ethernet cable is constructed using a set of four twisted pair wires (eight wires in total). Some are shielded, but many Cat5 and Cat6 cables are unshielded. Generally speaking, the higher the category number, the greater the potential speed and capacity (data transfer rate) of the cable will be between directly-linked servers, switches, and network devices. In modern domestic and commercial environments, RJ45 connectors are primarily used for plugging an internet-enabled device directly into hardware such as a modem, router, or server. The connectors themselves are the modular sets of fittings at either end of the physical data connection (Ethernet cable) joining one networked device to another.
Keep cables away from devices which can introduce noise into them. Here's a short list: copy machines, electric heaters, speakers, printers, TV sets, fluorescent lights, copiers, welding machines, microwave ovens, telephones, fans, electric ovens, dryers, washing machines, and shop equipment.
Today, Ethernet networks are commonplace in both domestic and professional environments. A network is simply several interconnected devices that are capable of sharing data between one another. Home networks, for example, are usually based around a router or modem, connected to various other devices and sharing out data. This might include PCs and laptops, smart TVs, mobile phones, games consoles, media servers, printers, and so on. A domestic setup of this kind is an example of a LAN (Local Area Network). The name comes from the fact that all devices linked to it are close to the others, typically within the same building. Never bend CAT5 wire tightly around a corner; make sure it bends gradually, so that a whole circle would be at least 2" across. Watch especially when the wire comes out a drilled hole and turns; don't let knots or kinks happen even temporarily. Q: Can I install Cat 5 cable over a distance longer than 90 meters and still certify the system as Cat5? Knowing how to wire an RJ45 connector plug means that you can cut your Ethernet cable to custom lengths. This is handy for neatly managing cables or creating very long runs Try to avoid running cables parallel to power cables and never run the wire parallel to power wiring nearer than 6" away.
