Network Wiring - Color Settings category 5e structured cable
Installing wiring 568A EIA / TIA 568B twisted
If you are like me being black to remember the settings for color structured cabling I have prepared this article detailing these settings.
The wiring refers to the physical environment through which devices are interconnected information technologies to form a network, the concept and structure is defined in the following points:
Safe solution: The wiring is installed so that users of it, have access to what should have and the rest of the wiring is well protected.
Solution longevity: When you install a structured cabling becomes part of the building, as is the wiring, so this has to be as functional as the other services of the building.
The vast majority of structured cabling can provide service for up to 20 years, regardless of technological advances in computers.
Modularity: Ability to integrate various technologies on the same wired voice, data, video.
Easy Administration: The structured cabling is divided into manageable parts which do perfectly manageable, reliable, and can detect faults and repair them easily.
The Category 5 structured cabling is the most popular type of wiring today. The cable UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) has 4 twisted pairs well with each other.
For all the cables run on any network, is still a standard for making connections. The two ends of an RJ45 connector cable leading to the colors in the order shown in the figure.
RJ45 interface
The RJ45 is a physical interface commonly used to connect networks of structured cabling (categories 4, 5, 5e and 6). RJ stands for is a Registered Jack which is part of the Code of Federal Regulations of the United States. It has eight pins or electrical connections.
It is commonly used as standard EIA/TIA-568B, which defines the layout of the wiring or pin pinout.
Parties that make up a structured cabling
- Area of work: The name says it all, is the place where the staff working with computers, printers, etc.. In this place are installed services (data nodes, telephone, electricity, etc.)..
- Closet communications: This is the point where are all the connections that are needed in the work area.
- Horizontal wiring: It is one that travels from the work area to the communications closet.
- Equipment Closet: In this quarter are the servers on the network, the telephone switch, etc.. This may be the same physical space as the communications closet (racks) and likewise should be restricted.
- Vertebral wiring (Back Bone): The physical environment that connects 2 networks sí.La supply may not be necessary if that does not require service from the street to be incorporated into the network, or it can be as small as a single hole in the wall to pass a telephone line. The Back Bone is not required unless they wish to join communications closets (Racks).
In the image is detailed with a 3-story building, is to simulate a corporate building where there is a considerable number of nodes and services on each floor, so the wiring closet is divided into a communications major in the upper deck and sub. closet in the other floors and the closet to join a back bone that runs between floors.
Horizontal cabling (items 1 and 2) necessarily have to be considered in any structured cabling for more small. These points are the minimum necessary.
The closet of equipment can be as large or small as needed, can range from a small server to multiple servers linked together.
Sections 4 and 5, The Connection and cable Vertebral depend on the size of wiring.
Crossover cable
If you only want to connect 2 PCs, there is the possibility of placing the order of colors in such a way that does not require the presence of a hub. This is known as a crossover cable.
Currently most support hubs or switches to connect wires crossed each other. Some network cards is indifferent to them connect a crossover cable or normal. They can use it up to PC or PC-PC-Hub/switch.
To a point to point wiring, we have two choices as defined by two regulatory schemes and to show a crossover cable can follow the outline of the figure is lower than previous standards mix 2 (on a tip follow the standard 568-A and the other 568-B:
Tips to install and pull the cord
The first thing is to make a good cable, using Category 5 UTP cable (shielded) to prevent noise and interference, and use the appropriate tool. This would be the perfect network for maximum yield. They are the best conditions!
Then we must take into account 2 things: The distance and the electrical noise.
Distance - must be taken not to bend the wire too, and never less than 45 degrees, not thread the wire and that will be lost signal andalusia weakened by distance. In the best case, the network will be slower, at worst, there is no communication ... the distance of the cable dede not exceed 90 meters.
Electrical noise - noise is anything that interferes with our signal preventing or hampering communication. Any appliance or electrical cord around our cable network ...
Allowed Distances:
- The total distance is specified by standard 99 meters.
- The limit for fixed wiring is 90 m and is not allowed to exceed that distance, with smaller distances speculating patch cords.
- The limit for the patch cord patchera is 6 m. The limit for the patch cord to connect the terminal is 3 m.
Conclusions
- It is recommended to install the cable wires or avoiding other electrical installations.
- It is not advisable to use the same channel of electrical wiring to install our cable network.
- Remove the cable network of fluorescent light bulbs and motors.
- You should not fill the gutters (pipes or ducts) in its entirety with cable, use a maximum of 60% of the area of the channel. Recall that the cable carries the electricity generating heat and noise, which can interfere and degrade the network signal in a tube without adequate space.
- When you finish installing a new structured cabling necessary license and for companies that are certified by leading professionals in the area, which can make the measurements required to certify that the wiring complies with international standards of Internetworking.

I need some way or guide books to learn and know more about networking

@ alex:
Good with regard to courses, if not in your city / community schools and institutes have to provide. Can you recommend books for the Cisco CCNA certification, and they teach you what is from the physical environment (structured cabling, microwave) to the configuration of network devices such as switches, routers etc.
If you need more guidance, gladly.
Greetings

Hola como estas, if you're not in Guatemala, but I would like to know any company that makes the certification network in Guatemala or to certify as I do to make this type of network?

Chapin 100%!
For a certification course I can recommend the course of CCNA Cisco Internetworking the Universidad Galileo.
Moreover, as there do not remember the CCNA certification exam, but if you want besides the diploma, you can say that New Horizons of Pradera you can do this certification exam.
Greetings.

Reading the article I say: I share the internet with neighbors close to my house at a distance no greater than 50 meters, and the wiring coming out of my swicht this "united" to the cable TV wiring not use channel, a my neighbors cable has rolled in iron (thickness of a finger and 4 laps around the same), the other neighbor "bridging" or "joined" twice boxes and networks that did not reach the meter wiring My swicht your PC. In conclusion: the signs to reach all my neighbors in excellent condition and none to me that this slow or suffer interference (noise).

In truth, I have a 2.4GHz wireless antenna on the roof of my house, in order to browse or listen to my music collection on my laptop from anywhere in the neighborhood. This antenna connects to my network via a cable that has thrown as 2 years without receiving channel and sun all day.
The cable itself is going to work, but if we want to run applications that use all the bandwidth of cable (cat 6 at 700MHz say) let's see impedance and other complications in applications such as VoIP.
But in my case it is not a criticism as it only serves to connect me and see sites and html pages I have no problem, although there is data loss on the TCP protocol to forward and back us and we notice.

I would like to know what kind of network should be used to create a structured wiring in a building of 4 floors with 50 pcs on every floor thanks.

your very good article, I think you tell me you leg q say q certified cable and not even know what it is that now I know a bit more but I need to know how I can certify each item cost of the network.
Thank you.

only one question:
I'll make up a network for a small office (about 6 computers) in the bottom of my house. I do aconsejáis cable Category 6 or 5E is enough. In the case of making level 6, RJ45 connectors and rosettes wall must be level with 6 or voucher 5E.
thank you very much
