Ethernet cables

The purpose of an ethernet cable is to connect two or more computers together.
The materials needed is a network cable, 2 RJ47 jacks, and a pair of cable pliers.
The instructions to make an ethernet cable is:



  • Cut wire to desired length

  • Strip the blue tubing off of wire

  • un twist colored wires and make them straight

  • Put colors in right order: light orange, dark orange, light green, dark blue, light blue, dark green, light brown, dark brown.

  • Put wires together

  • Make wires even by cutting them

  • Hold jack with facing clip down

  • Stick wires inside the jack

The way you test it is by pluging it into an ethernet tester.

Purpose of a blog

I think the purpose of a blog is that people who live for away from each other can keep in touch and have a way of communicating with out it costing alot of money. the pros that i see are that once agian that people can communicate over long distances and it not cost alot of money, cons are that some people put bad things on other peoples sites or there own and that any body can have or get access to your site unless it is something like this. some are safe and some are not safe like myspace and facebook where people put sick things on there sites and lie about there age and other things. They can be used as an educational toolfor many reasons kike your theacher can put assiments on them like blackboard and its a way the parents and students can communicate with the teachers.
