Abstract

Terminating ethernet cables use to be based on specific standards; EIA/TIA A or B. Clearly, it has been either type A or B or both that has to be used to crimp a particular type. This has been technically tedious, trying to recall the colour coding in use which comforms to the existing standards. For example, a rollover cable have to use either type “A” or “B” on one side and inverting the chosen type at the other end. Recalling the exact colour code of the type to be used to crimp a rollover cable successfully doesn’t seem to be user-friendly. Technically, this has been a concern, in a situation where an issue may need to be addressed and one is not online or not having the particular information for the job. Hence, exploring into the colour coding requirements for crimping rollover cable would proffer a more simplified procedure. Hence, this paper investigates into the colour coding requirements for crimping rollover cable. The investigation is done by getting a piece of category cable, use a procedure gotten from reviews to explore the standard colours for each type (A and B). Subsequent to this paper, demonstrating the crimping exercise in different options until a friendlier pattern is established.
