Good day Steemians! This is my first time to post a step by step procedure about engineering. I hope you will appreciate it. In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to build a LAN/Ethernet Cable. LAN stands for Local Area Network or it is also known as Ethernet cable. it is used to connect the computers together using HUB/SWITCH/ROUTER. I hope it will be useful to you.
In this tutorial I will give a step by step process but before we start here are the materials that will be needed in this project.
Materials:
• RJ45 Connector
• LAN/Ethernet Cable wire
• Wire Stripper
• Crimper
• LAN Tester
• Cutter
RJ45 Connector
LAN Cable wire
Wire Stripper
Crimper
LAN Tester
The Step by step procedure:
Using a wire stripper, cutter or any cutting materials cut a desired length of your LAN cable wire.
Remove the plastic coat of the cable about 2/3 cm from the cables end which protect the cable wires.
Their are two types of connections of the transmitters and the reciever the (1) Straight Thru Connections and the (2)Cross over connections.

Note: Cut carefully the wires, make sure that the wires are cut with the same length so that it will fit to the connector
..up to pins at the end of the connector and push the girdle firmly...
..up to metallic pins.
The LED lighs will indicate if it is functionable.
The LAN Cable is ready to use.
Thank you for reading this tutorial! I hope it helps you, Godbless :)
