how do these assholes get on utube with worthless info??

Trying to figure out how my home builder messed up our homes cat5e wiring and looking to fix it. Thanks for this video!

13 years later, still helpful! Thanks!

Nice video, man. Thank you!

Thanks man, great video

What makes it “keystone”? The fact that it slides and locks into the back of that wall plate?

Hurt your fingers?!?!?! 😂😂😂

Can you connect a different type of a more open type of wall plate that will connect to the bracket for multiple low voltage cables?

Love the tutorial! One thing I would mention however, sometimes the Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 shielding strippers might accidentally nick the twisted pairs, causing a short. I always teach new techs to use the nylon string to strip the plastic shielding further down the wire to avoid this. Especially useful if the cable is used for POE or gigabit connections.

I followed these instructions to the letter, and not one wire made connection. Weird, huh? What can ya do, right?

Thanks a lot man, your video is amazing , i learned too much from your video

Promo SM 😥

hello

Generally speaking it's best practice to minimize the amount of untwisting with the wire pairs. Otherwise thanks for this info!

Well done. Ready to rock. Thank you.

Qqq

i'm here because i just bought some VCE cat6 keystone jacks and the color sticker doesnt make any sense. imagine terminating 48 keystones to find out the label was wrong and nothing works?

Brilliant - thanks for this!

Keep your wires crossed as much as possible. Otherwise, you are losing speed and/or stability of speed!!

Finally a video of someone not leaving bottom wires exposed and not needing a little holder for the jack.

Not sure what happened @ 4:00, but that brown wire didn't look like it was pushed down at all.

Dude u are usless slow down and control your camera

Thanks! Hadn't done one of these in a while - Great refresher 👍🏻

While this appears to be simple and helpful, you should not untwist the wires all the way to the jacket. It negates any certification of the connection opening up to crosstalk issues. might work for old analog voice but high speed data has standard that this termination does not meet.

Still use this video to this day. Much appreciated guys and great video!

Colors changed since 12 years I'm looking at this confused lol

I conected a cat6 cable to a cat5e port and it doesnt work, do I need to buy an cat6 port?

Cat 6A panduit modjack

Hi. i have an Ethernet cable with colors like light pink, green, black, blue, light green, white, orange, green. But none of the wires have combination of two colors. I just need to know in which category it belongs to? Pls reply

Can you punch down two cat5 cables in one jack?

Thanks a lot for all the detailed steps!

lmao I'm glad I watched this just recently had a scrape on my finger de-twisting those pesky twisted-pairs!

Thank you brother pefect

brown wire ????????

ive been doing work like this for years, and only today have I seen someone use the shielding to untangle the cables. goes to show it doesn't matter what you think you know, there's information to be learned everywhere.

I'm a bicsi and I have my rcdd and if you are making this kind of videos you should know that you never need to take of the twist because It may affect the cable performance.

is there a difference between Cat5e/Cat6 keystones? I have a cat6 cable and when I conect it through the keystone cat5(I think) the speed drops to 95 Mbps. Help pls.

Legend, you saved my day!!! good man!!

Very helpful! I’ve just started doing data cables and keystones For Cabs and it’s been hard to find more info!

Thank you tubes

I just did my first ever punch down work today. Using the cable sleeve to untwist the pairs makes so much sense. My fingers will thank me in the future.

I did a “DIY”... cut the jack off of a CAT 6 commercial electric (Home Depot I think) and I am currently attempting to put a keystone on one end while the other end still has its original jack. Any help is appreciated. I’m hoping the only issue is the punch down it came with is cheap and not making a solid connection.

Thx

I need a adaptor from usb to hdml

Informative :)

Can I piggyback another set of wires over the existing to run a keystone Jack in another room?

what is that other key shaped hole on the top part of the speaker at the back for?

Great video

Your punch down tool looks like it punches much easier than mine. I was hoping I was using it wrong. Maybe it is the keystone I’m using. Tighter connections?

Great Video! 162 people only disliked it because it still seems too difficult for them 😑.
