Lab Report

Each answer is worth seven points.

Use a red colored font for you answers.

Place the answers below the questions.

1. In the videos you just watched where is the color code to use for the jack shown? Listed on the side of jack by pin number.
2. For the wires how many possible termination color code methods are there?
2- T568A, T568B
3. How many wires are there in a UTP cable?
4
4. What colors are used on these wires?
Blue,Green, Orange, and Brown, green/white, blue/white, orange/white, brown/white
5. The punch down tool used to insert the wires into a jack such as this does what two things to each wire?
The punch down tool punches and cut the wires into the jack.
6. What is the most critical part of the termination procedure to ensure low crosstalk on the connection?
The most critical part of the termination procedure to ensure low crosstalk on the connection
7. How is the outer insulation covering each wire cut through during the termination procedure?
More twists will cause lower crosstalk, but increases attenuation, propagation delay, and costs. The spline serves to keep the various pairs physically separated to reduce crosstalk

8. Which termination color code method is used in this example?
Termination color code method is used in this example:
5-Blue/White,
3-Green/White,
1-Orange/White
2-Orange
7-Brown/White
8-Brown
6-Green
4- Blue

9. In which video is the wire separation tower shown?
The wire separation tower shown in the video is called the Pair Separtion Tower (PST).
10. Where are the pin numbers shown on the jack with the wire separation towers?
The pin numbers shown on the jack with the wire separation towers are located along the sides of jack between the color code.
