Network cable Crimping and Testing Tools
Crimping tools are used for the following purposes.
• To cut the network cable of the required length from the bundle.
• To remove the outer and inner jackets of the network cable.
• To attach the connectors on both ends of the cable.

Network Cabling Tools & Accessories
Network cable Crimping and Testing Tools • Crimp tool: - This tool is used to attach the
connectors to the cable. • Typically, this tool also includes a wire-cutter and
wire-stripper. • So if you buy a crimp tool, you don't have to buy a
wire-cutter and wire-striper separately.

Network cable testing and troubleshooting tools
• To measure the length of a segment or network cable.
• To detect loose connectors.
• To identify an un-labeled network cable from all network cables.
• To find a break in the network cable.
• To certify the cable installation.

Network cable Crimping and Testing Tools • Cable certifier:- tests a network cable and
certifies that the cable installation meets a special wiring standard such as Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, and so forth.
• This device can check and test total segment length, crosstalk, noise, wiremap, resistance, impedance, and the capability to transfer data at the maximum frequency rated for the cable.

Network Cabling Tools & Accessories
Network cable Crimping and Testing Tools • Tone generator and the probe: trace the
unlabeled network cables and identify network cables that run from a central location to remote locations.
• This device comes in two pieces: the tone generator and the probe.
• The tone generator generates tones or signals and places them on the network cable.
• The probe detects these signals on the other end of the cable.

Network Software
• Any software that interacts, increases and facilitates the functions of a computer network is called network software.
• Two basic types of networking: – allows two computers to share, send and receive
data files via network – allows shared access liberty to all the users and
systems that are part of the network

Network Software
Types of network software. • Network operating system (NOS): NOS is a
system that offers a shared platform for all the connected computers that can run a shared application. Eg: Net and Novell
• Shared network: A networking software whose applications are centrally saved and each individual computer can access the applications on their own. Eg: Oracle

Network Software
Types of network software. • Client server network programs: one
component of such applications are stored on client’s system and the other one is stored on server.
• Both systems then communicate with each other and utilizes their part of the component accordingly.
• Eg: Microsoft exchange.
