below with their functions.

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 4

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

3.2.1. Cables
We used cable for data translation between devices. The three most common types of
communication cables are twisted pair, coaxial, fiber optic. Understanding the differences
between the three will shed light on how data travels through each cable, which ultimately
affects your connection and things like speed, latency, security, cost, etc. here is a general
breakdown of the three different types of cable systems and what they are capable of:

Twisted pair cables

Twisted pair cables are quite literally a pair of insulated wires that are twisted together to help
reduce noise from outside sources. While this does help some, these cables are still very
susceptible to outside noise. Twisted pair cables are the most cost-effective option of the three
but that also brings about lower bandwidth and high attenuation.

Figcable
Figure 1 twisted pair 3.1 twisted pair cable

Coaxial Cables:

Coaxial cables are high-frequency transmission cables made up of a single solid-copper core.
Data is transferred electrically over the inner conductor and has 80 times more transmission
capacity than twisted pair cables.
This type of cable is commonly used to deliver TV signals (its higher bandwidth makes it more
suitable for video applications) and to connect computers in a network. The cost is slightly
higher than twisted pair but still considered more economical than fiber.

Figure 2 Coaxial cable

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 5

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

Fiber Optic Cable:

Fiber is the newest form of transmission cable technology. Instead of transferring data over
copper wires, these cables contain optical fibers that transmit data via light, rather than pulses of
electricity. Each optical fiber is individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a
protective tube, making it extremely resistant to external interference. The result is a very
reliable and super-fast connection that has 26,000x more transmission capacity than twisted-pair
cables, but that also comes with a much higher cost.

Figure 3 fiber optics cable

Fig 3.3 fiber optics cable

Router
We use this device to connect two or more networks or LANS and also join multiple
networks together.

Figure 4 Router Fig 3.4 Router

Patch panel
A patch panel in a local area network (LAN) is a mounted hardware assembly that
contains ports used to connect and manage incoming and outgoing LAN cables. A patch
panel uses patch cords, a sort of jumper cable, to create each interconnection. Patch panels
are usually attached to network racks, either above or below network switches.
Patch panels can be based on the number of ports they contain, with 48-port, 24-port and
12-port panels among the most common.

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 6

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

Figure 5 patch panel

Switches
A switch, in the context of the networking is a high-speed device that receives incoming
data packets and redirects them to their destination on a local area network (LAN). A
LAN switch operates at the data link layer or the network layer of the OSI Model and, as
such it can support all types of packet protocols. Switch is one of the intermediate devices
which used to connect end devices with the router or end device with end device. We
used in our installation Huawei switch and D-Link switch for the installation. Huawei
switch are manageable switch. But D-Link switch is unmanageable.

Figure 6 switches

Trucking

We used this device in data communications transmission systems to provide many users
with access to a network by sharing multiple lines or frequencies. As the name implies,
the system is like a tree with one trunk and many branches. A trunk is used for a safety of
Ethernet cable in some offices and node to the wall.

Figure 7 trunk

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 7

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

Driller
We used this device for drill the wall in order to connect the trunk. Drilling machines are
generally or mainly used to originate through or blind straight cylindrical holes in solid
rigid bodies and/or enlarge (coaxially) existing holes:
 of different diameter ranging from about 1 mm to 40 mm
 of varying length depending upon the requirement and the diameter of the drill

Figure 8 Driller machine Driller machine

Tester
We used this networking tool for:
Test whether a given Ethernet cable is working or not and
Test whether a given Ethernet node is working or not.

Fig9 cable
Figure 3.8.1 cable
tester tester

RJ-45
We used commonly as a connector. All RJ-45 connector has eight pins, which means an
RJ-45 cable contains eight separate wires. In RJ-45 “RJ” is stands for "registered jack", it
is a standardized networking interface“45" is refers to the number of the interface
standard.

Figure 10 RJ-45

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

Crimping tools
We used this device for crimping an Ethernet cable after we finish possible order of the
color for straight through and crossover using RJ-45. The major function for which it is
designed is to crimp or connect a connector to the end of a network cable.

Figure 11 Crimper Fig 3.8.3 Crimper

3.3 RJ-45 Ethernet jack punch down wiring

Wiring an RJ-45 Ethernet jack is easy to do if you’re attentive to detail and follow a couple of
guidelines:

 Strip about 2 inches of outer sheath from the cable.

 The four wire pairs should remain twisted as closely as possible to the punch down pins
for maximum signal integrity.
 Avoid kinks as the light gauge copper strands can break.
 Double checks the wire color are correctly matched to the colored-coded pin positions on
the jack.
 Wire the jack following the T568b wiring diagram unless you have reason to use the
standard is widely used in commercial and residential cable installations. It doesn’t
really matter which wiring scheme you choose because either method is fine if both
ends of the Ethernet cable are wired the same way.

How to Connect a Patch Panel to a Switch

step1

Attach the patch panel and switch to a rack-mounted floor stand in the wiring closet. These units
are a standard 19" inches wide and the racks are designed to accommodate this size.

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 9

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

step2

Run the Ethernet cables from their jack locations out in the computer rooms. Each cable will
come from a wall mounted jack that the installer has placed in the walls. They will all return to
the wiring closet through a small hole cut to accommodate the wires.

step3

Connect the wires into the patch panel and use a punch-down tool to connect the wires to the
appropriate slots on the patch panel. Once the wires are all attached, it is advisable to secure the
wires in a bundle using plastic zip ties.

step4

Label each jack location on the patch panel to designate which room is connected by that jack.
This will make troubleshooting a bad wire easier if need arises.

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 10

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

step5

Plug an Ethernet patch cable into each port on the patch panel and plug the other end into the
switch port. These wires can be moved from port to port if needed to facilitate location change
the network.

Note: since we connect different devices, we should have to use straight through cables.

Figure 12 Patch Panel plates

How to Punch Down Wires to Patch Panel

Step 1: Determine the length of the cable(s) needed.

Step 2: Strip the cable from the end. Using an Ethernet stripping tool, strip the outside jacket
about 3-6 inches from the end.

Step 3: Un-twist the wires completely to the jacket.

Note: A cat 6 cable has a center plastic spine that needs to be removed. Pull on the spine and
fold the pairs back. Then cut the spine as close to the cables end as possible.

Step 4: Sort the wires in the proper pin out configuration.

Note: there are two color patterns, T568a and T568b. Make sure to terminate both sides of the
cable on the same pattern used.

Step 5: Choose a port on the patch panel to begin terminating.

In general, terminating in ascending order is ideal so start at the lowest number. First cable
should be terminated to the 1st port for example.

Step 6: Begin terminating each wire. Use a punch down tool with the 110 blade and terminate
each wire individually. Push down until the tool clicks and cuts the end of the wire off.

ASU Pre. By Ebisa Obsa Page 11

 Internship report of 2016 E.C

Step 7: Secure the cable to the patch panel. Many patch panels have slots or tabs where zip ties
can be used to secure the cable to the patch panel.

Step 8: Test the connections/terminations. Use a cable tester to ensure that all wires were
terminated correctly and there you have it! If you followed the above steps, you should now have
a secure connection for your patch panel. Simply repeat the steps above for all the connections in
your install.

Figure 13 Patch Panel plate 1 Figure 14 Patch Panel plate 2

Steps to Punch UTP Cable in jack

 Make sure the stripper is adjusted properly on a scrap piece of cable.
The stripper should be adjusted to only cut the jacket to make removing it easier
and not nick the twisted pairs.
 Straighten the pairs out completely and lay them over the top of the jack with the
order of the color pattern for wiring.
 Keeping the pairs as twisted as possible press the wire into the correct groove
with your thumbs.
 If you completely straighten the wires to run them through the jack you will risk
cross talk between the pairs.
 Using a punch down tool, punch the wires down into the blades built into the jack.
 The blades in the jack are designed to work with solid cable, and may not work
with stranded cable.
 Make sure the blade is facing the outside of the jack

3.7 Experience in internship

2.1. The way I get to the company.
As the university academic curriculum, the student who finish third year second semester
computer science program, students expected to take the internship program this is done by
taking a formal letter or request from university linkage for internship place for a certain period
of time. This formal letter or request let me to ask different company to practice the theoretical
knowledge those I have learned so far in the class for six semesters change into practical
knowledge. Last year at the end semester I have applied a letter for that company with best
regards, and I was lucky to get an acceptance from Jimma Custom Brand Office company gave
me the chance to train and I take the acceptance paper. Starting from July 1, 2016 I went to
Customs Commission industry to join and to practice the theoretical knowledge learned in the
class in different section of the industry. As I arrived first day to the company, I get a good
acceptance from my supervisor and he told me the rule and regulation of the company before I
get to work then he introduced with the staff workers, operators of the company. Jimma Custom
Brand Office bureau gave the positive answer to host us for the required period.

3.8 Challenges I faced

RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Recommendations about Organization
Working at Jimma Custom Brand Office center was a great experience for us. We had learnt
many things throughout internship period. From our little knowledge what we have some
recommendations as follows:

The organization must prepare suitable room for the students. The workers have to be improving
their punctuality. The co-ordination between the high levels to the low level should be good to
use latest software and devices and to have more educated and experienced man power.

Jimma Custom Brand Office center have a very few employees in network installation whereas
the work pressure is high. So, the department could increase their workforce and share the work
together. Secondly, to increase the rate of work efficiency they need faster communication using
internet computer with user. The IT center should update or add more network features and
appoint a professional operator so that it might save time, money, labor and execute an impact
for the long run.

5.2 Recommendations about internship

We would like to recommend practical attachment is good way basic acquired knowledge,
however durations of the practical one were very short in the internships. Because of many
courses require practices that we had learnt from 1st to 3rd year to cover the theory one into
practical. Such as application, maintenance, operating system. So, the department should
increase duration of internship period to cover all things, and also should follow the assigned
advisors for the student whether they motivate to their work or not.
The university should have to pay payment for all students equally being on a time.

5.3 Recommendation for the students

 Does their task according to the work ethics of the company?

 Student should to be interactive and actively participate at internship time.

 Ask your. question and seek feedback to improve your skill.
