The LAN will use star topology wherein the networking media run from the Hub to each device that will be attached to the network.  Star topology is easier to design and install.

For our Internet Cafe, we need 6 straight through cables to connect the PC to the Hub.  The color coding of the wires will follow the EIA/TIA-568A standard.  The figure shows the pin configuration of the RJ-45 Plug.

Creating a Stright Through cable

• First determine the distance of the PC to the Hub.
• Cut a piece of Cat 5 UTP cable to determined lenght.
• Strip 2" of jacket off of one end of the cable.
• Hold the 4 pairs of twisted cables tightly where jacket was cut away, then arrange the wires according to the coloring scheme illustrated above.
• Flatten, straighten, and line up the wires, then trim them in a straight line to within 1/2" - 3/4" from the edge of the jacket. Be sure not to let go of the jacket and the wires, which are now in order!
• Place an RJ-45 plug on the end of the cable. Make sure that the metal contacts is facing you, the pin 1 is on the left side.
• Gently push the plug onto wires until you can see the copper ends of the wires through the end of the plug. Make sure the end of the jacket is inside the plug and all wires are in the correct order.  Crimp the plug using a crimping tool.
• Repeat the process to the other end of the cable.
