ETHERNET CABLES.

The porpose of an ethernet cable:)is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly where they would normally be connected via a network switch, hub or router, such as directly connecting two personal computers via their network adapters.
materials needed:
- ISDN (or Ethernet) surface outlet box
- 3x RJ45 Ethernet connectors
- 1x LED (color of your choice)
- 1x +/-680 Ohm resistor
- 1x 9 volts Alkaline powercell (or other battery)
- 1x Powercell connector suited for your battery
- +/-50 cm UTP cable, preferably unshielded

Instructions featureing colors: White/Green 2 Green Transmit
3 White/Orange
4 Blue
5 White/Blue
6 Orange 7 White/Brown 8 Brown
How to test it:)
You put the colors in the right order, then you put them in the test box and it either will turn green or red.

first time I created an ethernet cable - It was hard like trying to get all the colors in the right order and stuff. I messed up about 3 times i believe. I would have watch step by step how to set it up.

Some Words of encouragement to the new ethernet cable builder :) would be to listen to your teacher, watch your colors.
