Connecting RJ 45 to CAT 5

The simple explanation is to strip the wires back and crimp them into the connector.

As all of you who have done the lab know by now it's not that easy when done manually.

Many errors can be made that adversley effect network signaling and throughput.

If anyone requires addtnl reference on how to perform the procedure correctly this diagram is a good start:

Interesting New Technologies


I myself am interested in finding out more about the newest verson of the Windows OS, currently called WIndows 7 that is now in Beta. In fact, I have downloaded a legitimate Beta copy from Microsoft with a valid product license. As soon as I get my Virtual Machine environment running properly on my XP64 machine I plan on 'installing' it and giving it a run around the park. I will keep this post updated as I explore the new features included with Windows 7.
