       The  crimping process will deform the strands of the wire so that there is a gas-tight joint. Not only will this provide the greatest surface area for electrical contact, but it also prevents oxygen or moisture from reaching the metal of the wire and terminal, reducing the possibility of corrosion. 1. Cut into the outer sheath of the cable with a pair of scissors .  Take a pair of scissors and gently cut into the plastic sheath about 1 inch (25 mm) from the end of the cable. Make sure you don’t cut into the wires inside. When the scissors penetrate the sheath, rotate the cable and scissors to create a cut around the cable. Then, stick your fingertips under the sheath and pull it off towards the end. Tip: If you don’t have scissors, you can use a utility knife to cut away the outer sheath. But be careful not to cut the wires inside . 2. Separate and straighten out the small wires in the cable. Use your fingers to untwist and straighten ...

  What is a network cable?             Network cables are used to connect and transfer data and information between computers, routers, switches, and storage area networks.   These cables are essentially the carrier or media through which data flows There are three main types of network cables which are twisted pair cable , coaxial cable , and fiber optic cable that are used in communication system. There are different and suitable for various applications for each cable. Knowing the difference between the three will give you an idea on how the data can travel through each cable, that can easily affect your connection and things like speed, latency, security, cost, etc. Here is a general breakdown of the three different types of cable system and what they are capable of: TYPES OF CABLES: Coaxial Cable - is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, wit...
