Assignment Three
In this lab we will each either physically create a patch cable ot virtually wire a patch cable. I will make this selection prior to the lab based on the availability of materials. I prefer the physical solution.
	In Netacad take a look at slide 2.3.4.1 and 2.3.4.2. You will use this information to create a patch (stright through) cable that can be used in the lab: Get 3 feet of CAT5 or CAT6 UTP cable and 2 RJ-45 connectors From me or a person helping me. Separate the wires, put them in the correct order and slide them into the connectors. Then use the crimp tool to attach the connectors. Choose a computer in the lab. Verify it has network access. Once verified, swap the network cable with the one you created. Does the computer still have network access? Call me over to verify your working cable. Put the cable back the way it was. Write your name on your cable.
