Straight through cable
A straight through cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is used in local area networks to connect a computer to a network hub such as a router. This type of cable is also sometimes called a patch cable and is an alternative to wireless connections where one or more computers access a router through a wireless signal. On a straight through cable, the wired pins match. Straight through cable use one wiring standard: both ends use T568A wiring standard or both ends use T568B wiring standard.
Terminate one end of a Cat 5e/6 straight through cable
Step 1: Materials
• Wire Strippers – I recommend the IDEAL Telecomm/Datacomm Wire
Strippers
• Wire Cutters (Side Cutters will work)
• RJ45 Crimping Tool
• 2 - RJ45 Modular Data Plug (Ends)
• Bulk CAT6 Network Cable
• Ruler
• 2 Wire Boots (Optional, not pictured)
Step 2: Measure the Cable
Using the coil of wire, pull the necessary amount of wire for
the connection you need to make. Be sure to include an extra 2
inches on either end of the wire for the data plug.
NOTE: Network cables have a maximum length, depending on which type
is being used. Although maximum length varies by manufacturer, a
common rule of thumb is 650 feet for a CAT6 cable and 250 feet for
a CAT5e cable. If the length of the wire between two powered
network devices exceeds this length, signal degradation and data
loss may occur.
TIP: Do your best to run the wire along the path it will follow
between the two devices. Do not pull the cable tight between two
points and be sure the cable is not kinked or tightly pulled around
corners. The cable should have a little wiggle room.
TIP: If the location of the wire allows, consider including an
extra length in the cable. This prevents having to make another
cable if one device needs to move a short distance after the cable
is made. One way of adding a short length to the cable is to wrap
it around a closed fist 2 or 3 times.
Step 3: Strip the Cable
Step 4: Prepare Wires
Step 5: Insert Wires and Crimp
If you are using boots, place 2 boots on the cable now with the large ends of the boots facing the ends of the cable (The large ends of the boots should be facing opposite directions). I choose not to use boots because as the plastic ages it become hard which can make unplugging a cable from a jack very difficult. Some people counter this by saying it keeps the tabs from breaking off if you have to pull the cable through a bundle of wires or a tight space, but if the tab breaks off, you can cut the end and terminate it again!
Step 6: Terminate the Other End of the Cable
Now the other end must be terminated. Return to the "Strip the Cable" step and repeat the stripping, preparing, and crimping steps for the other end of the cable.

If a CAT-6 cable is supplied to a pots twisted pair cable, what is the reflectivity on each cable?
Sir Lancelot rides on a bridge which is supported at one end with a vertical cable that can hold maximum tension of 5.80 times 10^3 N. The bridge has mass 200 kg and its center of gravity is at its center. Lancelot, his armor and horse together have a combined mass of 620 kg. Will the cable break before Lancelot reaches the other end of the bridge? If so, how far from castle end of the bridge will the center...
The drawing shows an end-view of two wires. They are long, straight, and perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Their cross sections lie at the corners of a 0.40-m square. The currents in wire 1 and wire 2 are flowing into the page and equal to 12.0 A and 8.50 A respectively. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the square? Wire 1 Wire 2
2. The drawing shows an end-view of two wires. They are long, straight, and perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Their cross sections lie at the corners of a 0.60-m square. The current in wire (1) is going into the page and it is equal to 12.0 A and the current in wire (2) is going out of the page and it is equal to 8.00 A respectively.

An aluminum cable with cross-sectional area 1.50 times 10^-6 m^2 is suspended from the ceiling. A mass is suspended from the free end of the cable to keep the cable straight and at a certain length. If the temperature of the cable is reduced by 10 C degree, by how much should the suspended mass be increased so that the length of the cable remains the same? The coefficient of linear expansion for aluminum is alpha = 23 times 10^-6...

A 150kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. a) Calculate the magnitude of the vertical component of the force that the wall exerts on the left of the beam if the angle between the cable and the horizontal is theta = 42 degrees.
there are two balls slinding one through a straight track and the other along the track with a dip. a) explain why the ball traveling on the track with the dip arrives to the end first. b) what do you predict about the relative velocities of these two balls when they leave the end of the track? will one go faster than the other?
