Learn how to make a network cable (patch lead) and fit an RJ45 connector using a pass-through RJ45 crimping tool for Snap Plugs. This type of RJ45 plug allows the 8 conductors to pass through the end, making it easier to ensure the correct order of the coloured wires (T-568A or T-568B) and perfect placement inside the jack before crimping.

Now you know how to crimp ethernet cable!

Take care while cutting off the wires. One time the keystone slipped away, and I got a nasty cut in my thumb which needed 6 stiches in a hospital.

Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial and knowledge sharing! I have a question to make: Does this function the same as a pair of power line adapters? Do you need the router plugged in another one like this in the same building? Or or works differently? How does it connect to the internet network of the house?

i bought a rj45 socket today and the diagram on the back is the 568A. However looking at my ethernet cable it looks like the order of the wires are the 568B where pin 1 is green/white. Am i right in saying that although my diagram on the back shows pin one as orange/white would I actually put the Green/White in that slot?

Excellent video - thank you. My building has CAT5E cabling throughout and I am now fitting RJ45 sockets at the end of these cables. I am being offered CAT5E or CAT 6 sockets. Should I stick with CAT5E or is there a benefit to using the CAT6?

When doing a structured cabling in a building I would always recommend using S/FTP (shielded/foiled) since most likely you will have some power lines close the CAT wires somewere.

This is more of a question, I’m in a new house, and the router is a floor under me, but we have Ethernets that come into the wall, pretty sure a cat5 and it’s not working when I plug my computers Ethernet into it, idk if it’s broken, or if I have to find the other end and plug it into the router? But I can’t find another end of a Ethernet anywhere in this house, but there is multiple Ethernet outputs in each room that don’t work

I am about to move to a new house. It's a building with an Article 4 restriction specifying no cables on the outside wall above 1m.....so the Virgin media shiz has to go in at the front of the house. This means that the modem has to be in the front room and I need ethernet sockets in 3 bedrooms and an office. Probably a noob question, but the cable run from each room needs to terminate individually in the room with the modem/switch? Is there a plate that can accommodate 4 keystones?

Second question, from the virgin media can I connect to just a switch or do I need a router specifically?

Thanks for your help/advice on this, I have just yesterday fitted my first 4 cables in my house between their wall jacks and they now work perfectly. I do though have 2 questions to ask if its ok, but for some reason one tester does not work but one does (on my cable which is about 20-30m in length) but both do work on just a single short cable, so does the length of cable cause problems with the testers, and if so does this mean the cable is to long? On another question the tester which does work, on both of the cables, its identically shows all LEDs lighting up 1 to 8 in order but for some reason they show dimmer from 4 to 8, is there any reason for this possibly?

You are using a 110 Punch down on Krone connections, this is not the correct way to do it, they are totally different connections, all your terminals will be messed up, there are two totally different tools for this.....jeez.

Should you not keep the wires twisted right upto where they are pressed down rather than untwist them all the way back to the main cable?

Ответить

Jose M - 15.12.2021 16:49

If you properly angle your cut down tool you don’t have to twist the cable ends off. They should be clean cut. You should probably place the keystone Jack on a solid surface and then cut. It’ll be easier.
