Crimp:
Compress.

Cat 5:
Category 5.
Consists of four copper wire.
Twisted pair cable for carrying signal.

Twisted pair:
Two wires are twisted around each other.

What is length of cat 5 cable?
Maximum of 100 m.
Exceeding this length without aid of bridge or other network device could cause network issues.

Bridge:
Connects LAN to another LAN that uses same protocol.

Protocol:
Set of rules that end points in telecommunication connection use when they communicate.

Use of Cat 5 cable:

Structured cabling for computer network called Ethernet.

Structured cabling:
Building cabling infrastructure that consists of standardize smaller elements.

How Cat 5 cable looks like?
One side with connector and on another side wire.

How cable is connected?
Punch down blocks and modular connector.

Punch down blocks:
Type of electrical connection used in telephony.

Why it is named as Punch down block?
Because solid copper wire is punched into short open ended slots which are a type of insulation displacement connector.

Insulation displacement connector:
Connected to conductor of an insulated cable.

Conductor:
Allows current in one or more directions.

Insulated cable:
Protects material.

Modular connector:
Electrical connector designed for telephone wiring.

Electrical connector:
Join electrical termination and create electrical circuit.

Electrical termination:
Device matches the opposition of circuit presents to a current.

Electrical circuit:
Current flows.
