Cat-5 Installation Page

Welcome to my Cat-5 installation page.
  In maintaining the network that I am responsible for,  I realized that I should do something to preserve the policy and knowledge involved in setting up and maintaining the LAN. Additionally, this information might be interesting and hopefully useful to others out there.

 I haven't ever looked into these things formally (other than product packaging) - my knowledge is from first hand experience and observation of how other technicians and companies do things.
 

Topics

  1. Terminology
  2. Tools, Parts, and Supplies
  3. Punchdown - Installation of keyhole RJ-45 connectors
  4. Crimp - installation of plugs on the end of Cat-4
Topics which are not links have not been written yet -- sorry! Write me and tell me what you want to see.
