do cabling for 5 users

[devank123]

Hello friends

My dad asked if I could do the cabling for his small business at the new premises
Has 5 users .
Now he is struggling to find the money to pay the staff hence he cannot
get someone professional.

So I am asking where do I start.What do I need to buy ?

If there are some pro's there that can give me some advice I am sure
I can get the going till he can do something professional.

Thank you mates
Devan

First of all all the PC's will need NIC's

Next you will need to switch - you can either go 10/100 or gigabit.If you aren't transferring large files around then 10/100 is fine - its cheaper then gigabit.

How far are the machines from each other - the max length of a ethernet cable is 100m

You will also need to buy CAT5 cable, UTP connectors, and a crimping tool.

yup, as far as what you will be doing it is.

thank you so much

The krone jack is color coded correct ?
If I use a gigabit switch I use same cables , is that correct ?
Also what is the use of trunking ?

Thanks mate

Go wireless, its easier coz there are no wires

Could end up being cheaper too, but distances can cause havoc, and headaches..

and if you have 5 users on 54Mbps using 100% of the bandwidth they effectively only get 11Mbps each.

What is the average cost to trunk for 12 users in a 150 metre square building
Average price please
