Learn about copper cable and RJ-45 connectors, and learn how to put them on a cable, fiber optic cable and connectors (and learn how to put those connectors on). Then you will learn how to test these cables and fix them if they are bad. Then you will plug your cables into an Ethernet switch and learn (the basics) of programming a switch. Finally, you will learn how this can control lighting fixtures and actually control a fixture with the cables you made... and you can take the cables home with you, if you want.
