UniFi: Beginner’s Guide to Network Cabling | Part 1 - Cable Types & Termination

I learned with this type of crimp and rj45, but I have found the pass-through clips/crimper much easier to use. Great instructional vid though, good job!

Another tip.
To help untwist the wires you can use part of the jacket you strip off and push it between the pairs so that one wire goes in to the jacket and the other stays on the outside you can just twist the jacket in your fingers and it will slide down the pair and help untwist them easier.

Noice!!

Now show what a pain in the ass it is to work with shielded Cat6A :)

Why i am able to give one only one like to that video? Amazing quality content.

Don't CAT5 and higher have the same number of wires/pairings (8 wires, 4 pairs)? If so, what about CAT5 makes it unable to transmit 10Gb speeds?

I just been doing low voltage for only 15 years. But I was told by people with more experience that always try to use the dental floss (ripcord). But maybe it's more important for terminating to a jack or patch panel where the jacket is not supported and camera ends.

I always thought the floss was there for pull strength to relieve stress on the copper when pulling long distances, never considered using it to to remove the jacket.

Very nice. As a rule I never use wire that my cable stripper might have touched. Use the pull string to remove the sheath from the length you need to work with and discard where the cable stripper or scissors or knife was used. Even a small nick or pinch in a solid copper conductor can cause problems later.

Simple and to the point. Great video!

Keep them contents coming :)
oh and dont forget to restock them g3 flex

Really, Why is it that people fail to mention one of what I feel is most important things to Cat Cabling? I mean ok so you guys use CMP so there is no Questions but what about all the Trash that is being SOLD TODAY WITH CCA... Why is it that people don't point out that people need to buy Good Quality cable from a Good Manufacture and be careful about buying JUNK CCA.. There are so many people out there that are selling JUNK cables that should not be used for POE and will or can damage High end POE cameras is people buy JUNK cables.. Knowing is half the battle Also now people are getting even more funny with cables calling Siamese cables Solid Copper core but has no real copper in the power wires and or the video ground.. Buy from a Trusted company. If you are going to pay someone to install your Cameras or Network hardware. If you have a large job and they are doing it for Cheap then I doubt your getting good cables.. Bad Cabling = Nightmare down the road.

Nice recap thank you.

Please add that RJ45 pos1 is always on the left side of the plug looking from cable side. Please explain RJ45 Jack pos1 vs. pos1 in RJ plug.

Awesome video, can't wait for the rest of this series.

Finally, somebody mentioned rj45 for stranded and solid wire connectors 👍

I’m 11, and I already knew most of that. Lol

Interesting 🤔

Pretty sure he uses a pass-through crimper, but not a pass-through RJ45 plug.

Also, be sure to get the right RJ45 for your cable. An RJ45 rated for Cat6 doesn't sit well on a Cat5e cable.

Also, always test your cables after making them!

Informative video. Should probably also have mentioned that pin 1 of the RJ45 is the leftmost pin when the connector is held vertically with the pins facing you, and that this is the orange/white wire for 568B cabling.

Nice video, however, Sean never specifically mentioned the orientation of the RJ45 connector (He did it on video but never went though why). This is NOT required for most, due to Auto-MDIX, but this is an important thing to know

The pins are suppose to up face when putting the wires in. Pin 1 is first from the left when pins are facing up. For T-568-B, that's Orange-White. I noticed two of the graphics, the pins were wrong the first time, then they were right the second time.

Thanks for your effort!

Add the next series I keep waiting

@Ubiquiti When can we expect the next two episodes?

Thanks 👍

Do people really still terminate RJ45 by hand anymore? Keystones + pre-terminated patch cables are orders of magnitude faster and produce a way more consistent product.

Waiting for part 2….

20 years still no one ivented a crimper that works it is easy you take 3 to 5 minutes per terminator rj45...

cut yo nails wtf

nice training

Ditch all other paid channels and focus on this type of content! This is great. Been installing Ubiquiti products for 6 years and this type of content is great for newcomers to get familiarized.
Other consumer, anecdotal oriented content is garbage IMO.

I love ubiquiti👍

less music pls

Where’s part 2 & 3 :(

More

Very well done. Super informative. Great job!

Cat5 is maximum 100mbit.
Cat5e on the other hand is max 1000mbit

These are fantastic videos.
You sir, know what you are doing!
This is the best content that Unifi has ever released.
Perfect

Super useful! Thanks for making this video.

How about PoE? Any information?

Thanks for the video =)

What the actual hec? This video says "CAT5" is capable of 1G????! NO CAT5E is capable of that not CAT5. I'm I missing something?

Thanks for the technical information. 👌 Please substitles in spanish.

EZ-RJ45 jacks, are a lifesaver

Brilliant presentation, thank you!

I got a bachelors of CIS degree in cybersecurity and my first job is a field IT technician, yay, job market is so shit

We need a updated version

What is the difference between CMP & CMA

Looking forward to better quality content from this channel! This video is a great start to a great series.
