Objectives:
Straight-Through Connection: The primary objective is to connect devices
that operate at different OSI layers. For instance, connecting a computer to a
switch, a router to a hub, or a computer to a modem.
Tools: Include cable testers, crimping tools, wire strippers, cable cutters,
RJ45 connectors, and punch-down tools.
Hardware: Includes twisted pair cables (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a), NICs, network
switches, routers, hubs, and the computers or devices being connected.
Software: Encompasses network configuration tools, network monitoring
tools, NIC driver software, network testing software, and operating systems
with networking capabilities.
Theory:
Straight-Through Connection: A straight-through cable is a type of twisted
pair cable used in networking where the wire terminations on both ends of the
cable are the same (typically T568A or T568B standards).

Remarks on Straight-Through Connection: Straight-through cables are
highly versatile and commonly used for connecting different network devices,
such as computers to switches or routers. They provide a reliable connection for
most networking needs, making them a staple in both home and business
networks.
