Building A Cisco Lab - Making RJ45 to RJ45 Rollover Cables - Part 1 of 2

This video is intended for users who have acquired a Cisco AS2509-RJ or AS2511-RJ for the purpose of acting as an Access Server in their home lab.

If you are using a Cisco AS2509-RJ or AS2511-RJ as an Access Server in your home lab, the one of the advantages of these boxes is that they provide 8 or 16 (depending on the model) dedicated async ports that use RJ45 connections. It's actually fairly simple to create custom length RJ45 to RJ45 async cables from a spool of Ethernet cable, existing Ethernet cables, or Cisco rollover cables.

You will need cabling, a crimping tool, and possibly a wire stripper. This lesson shows you step-by-step how to create custom length RJ45 to RJ45 async cables.

Never recycle old cables, and use a striper rather than stake knives.

Enjoy steaks for dinner, and make your cables like it is supposed.

That "fiber glass" lol what you call it. It actually rips the jacket. You just pull it and it'll rip the jacket or shielding for you.

A lot of talking but it was really good detail. Thanks!
