A simple job today running a new network drop in a storefront. What I encounter -in the wild- is an IDC patch panel done right! Some tips on keeping the belly full and basic cable running stuff this time. And some of this while a kid shouts bloody murder in the background!!
** AT THE END I'VE GOT SOME NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS **
For those of you interested in the type of RJ-45 connector I'm using here, It's a n ICC IC107E5CBL Cat 5e EZ Modular Connector. They can be found on Amazon in bags of 25 for around $50.

great video. also, I thought the screaming was from the RJ45 Jack. Thought you were hurting the poor thing.

[@gorillaau]

I just got to that part of the video... love it.

[@SSPanesar]

Exactly the same...

Really? Never knew RJ45 jacks can talk. Inspiring!

Great video. As an aspiring network engineer, I'm so glad I found your channel. It's so refreshing to see someone take pride in their work and be thorough.

[@richardtwenty1740]

randomly stumbled onto your channel during your last upload and i just want to say i really enjoy watching you work true professional :)

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

+RichardTwenty17 Awesome to hear!! Thx!

[@TimVerry]

Right? Really good stuff. I happened upon him thanks to YT suggested. It was a hour+ long video but I couldn't stop watching haha.

[@jeffshelton8755]

I don't know anything about networking, am not involved in the industry, but always enjoy watching someone who is proud of their work. Really looking forward to what comes next!

[@Administrator_O-5]

As an 24 year IT slug (last 15 of the 24 was as a Network Engineer) I am blown away by your attention to detail, order, cleanliness & cable management! OMG, I've had to fix some really screwed up crap in my time & these were other NEs at the company I work for! Like the time I found out 1 moron had 2 class rooms with 20 PCs each in them, connecting back to the Network Room on a single Cat 5 (Not even 5e) & here's the best part, he had it plugged into a 8 port 10Mbps hub & had that plugged into the patch panel...🙄🤯 This kind of crap was the norm for me, I was constantly going behind them & doing it the correct way. So you & your work ethic are a breath of fresh air my friend!

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Wow. Especially where you're coming from, that means a lot to me!

[@MagnusOlssonMalvik]

This channel is a goldmine, really love watching it and to learn how to do it the right way! Keep up the good work!

[@josesandoval6428]

Keep up the hard work , love what I see since I'm in the structured cabling and service call industry. Learn a lot watching your videos . Keep uploading!

[@machstein13]

I love your videos man.The little tips and watching someone that is really passionate about their work is amazing. I hope your channel keeps growing, great work and thank you.

[@akerstodd]

I really appreciate you care and attention to detail. You do great work.

I love watching Networking Videos and you bring them to me!!! Keep up the fantastic work!!

[@snaremj]

I truly love this stuff! Keep making videos. I have binged watched everything you uploaded.

[@iamKORHAL]

Man I am loving binge watching your videos. I'll have to re-watch a few to go back and hit the like button to do them justice. I always thought I had a lot of nifty cable run ideas but seeing you in action is amazing. I love learning new things and I completely regret not continuing my network schooling.

[@alexbright7735]

Love it when you find something done well [patch panel].

[@theZolek8]

Oh man, your channel is what I was looking for all my life. I love your professionalism and how you tidy up our people's mistakes. I'm looking forward for your next videos, because I think I'm addicted now. Keep up the good work!

[@jiyaomu]

There is always room for excellent workmanship in our subscriptions :) I have been learning a lot through your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@tylertc1]

All of the tours and shout out to the local business - perfect stuff! Really looking forward to any upcoming content and just awesome to see the community share back just how cool we think this stuff is. And in return that providing you with more energy. - Great stuff here, thank you again!

[@AL6S00740]

You are the best sir. Keep up the good work. Thank you for everything you are doing for us ☺️

[@Level10Gamers]

came across your channel doing some research before we stripped down our server room, found a lot of great tips and I love watching someone who cares about the end result of a job and the next guy who has to work on things... Keep it up!

[@loopzzzz]

This channel is so amazing, the details that you get into are so comprehensive, thank you so much, its like meditation, OCD style lovers will enjoy clean cables and nice arrangements :D you deserve every subscriber !!!

[@freddofrog_]

I find these videos really interesting and can't wait for your next makeover and site tours, great work

[@mcsehoski]

The networking struggle is real. You do excellent work. Keep those videos coming.

[@briceperdue7587]

Just have now watched all your videos. Honestly not sure why I find it so interesting as i do this type of work myself. But for whatever reason I cannot get enough of it. Keep it up please!

[@Marko343]

This seemed like a pretty basic install but still came out to be a great video. The step by step is well paced and provides a lot of good content. I personally enjoy seeing all the different network setups at various locations from the large ones you have done to the small offices. Every set up is different and I think that's a really cool aspect of each job. I look forward to seeing more video's as you enthusiasm shines through in every video!

[@szzpawnkntrl2018]

I really appreciate what you do and how you share it with us!

[@andrekz9138]

I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks because they are so richly interesting and calming. That screaming kid though had me laugh-crying the whole time though.

[@AnillusionNL]

Only found (and subscribed) your channel yesterday and watched the complete 2 hours video among others. Personally I'm just an enthousiast when it comes to cable management. Always loved to see those before/after pictures on the internet. But actually seeing the transformations being done is just gold. What makes your channel stand out is that the passion you have for your job really shows. The attention to detail, and explaining why things are important (to you). I wish you all the best with your channel, it sounds like you'll have some great content for us in the future. (greetings from the Netherlands)

[@LostDryerSocks]

Yes, the explanation of why he does what he does is great!

[@Zardoz66]

awesome work, and love the possible tours... keep it coming.

[@Techmanlucas]

Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next one!

[@macexpert7247]

Love the trick of leaving the end of the twisted pairs together!

[@lonewolfgeoff]

these vids are great! i used to build pc's etc for a living but wanted to do the networking side but unfortunately never happened! so i can see what i missed and its truly fascinating and interesting seeing the results after all the hard work! your a credit to your trade 😊

[@Jepper333]

Gratz on the 6K subs! As an it-guy i love the watch how someone else does it! Cool tricks i learned from you!

[@WeatherWX]

I'm a young computer geek and after KZbin recommended me the rehab video, I decided to subscribe. thanks to you, I compete in a Computer Networking category and learning these small things about networks does help out a lot but does fascinate me.

[@tarasque01]

I like the closing remarks you said on this video. We hope you can continue to do your best to do more video's like this one My favorite video so far was #019 Small Office / Big Cabling Rehab!! Amazing watch. I stayed up to 2am watching that because I was so captivated. I can't wait for the next adventure!!!!

[@alokelok]

Nicely done. Always informative!!!

[@tallman11282]

I just discovered your channel yesterday when KZbin recommended your Small Office/Big Cabling Rehab video. I just watched all of your videos and enjoyed them. You got yourself a new subscriber.

[@rrrohan2288]

i dont know why i like these as my job isnt even related. i think its just satisfying watching a job done really neatly

[@LostDryerSocks]

I'm a networking student just outside of Albany, NY. Love your videos because I am interested in seeing what my future may look like after I graduate. I also get a first hand look at what NOT to do. Teach me oh wise one. I thirst for knowledge. Plus, they are pretty damn entertaining at times - like the kid screaming bloody murder in the background of this one!

[@greenzero3389]

Great content and the production - really enjoying your videos !

[@wayneco]

As someone who's done this on and off for the past 30 years, but far less now, so my skills are a bit rusty, I really enjoy watching you patiently transform phone and server closet furballs into beautifully cabled and organized systems. It's a good reminder to myself to not do crappy work - my own home network is shamefully thrown together but I'm working myself up to spending the couple days to pull it all out and put it back the way it is supposed to be. When I was in high school in the early 1980s I started by doing phone work, some computer consulting. That meant tasks like helping people connect their Hayes Smartmodems to their PCs, Apple ][, ][+, //e.//c, //gs, Commodore VIC20, C64, C128 systems and other odd item (Atari 400/800, TRS-80 Model I/III s so they could dial into MCI Mail, Compuserve, GTE Telenet, other pre-AOL systems, and later AOL, too. In those days we were also installing 1A2 key systems and Panasonic PBXes for myself, friends and small business customers as a side business for years and years. By the late 1980s the work had turned into installing both key/PBX phone systems and 10 megabits thin-net ethernet on RG58 coax, AppleTalk, PhoneNet, Twinax for Token Ring, it was a nightmare. Thankfully the industry did what we all knew it would do, and in the 1990s there was a mass migration toward UNIX systems running on standard intel architectures and ethernet/ISO networking and network stack standards. Networks started seeing some 100 megabit ethernet, while customers got their internet on 1.5 megabit T-1 over copper lines if they were lucky, or DS-3/T-3 45 megabit circuits over fiber if they were larger and could afford it. Business circuits like DS-1/T-1/E-1 and DS-3/T-3 have a higher priority for repair than a lesser consumer circuit) installing and configuring routers, remote access equipment, and early integration of telephones and networking (remember "unified telephony" was going to revolutionize communications. Didn't happen, but VOIP and SIP did, thankfully! Now my home network is 10 gigabit, I have multi-gigabit microwave and fiber serving me at home and the workplaces, and all the toys just keep getting cooler. But it's all for not if your stuff isn't installed well in a a serviceable manner. How do you feel about driving to San Francisco and doing my home and office? :)

[@FreeStuffGuy916]

I love your work. I do similar work for a local government but I like to see how other professionals work and I love your work ethic. I take something away from each of the videos I've seen so far. Please keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. I found your videos looking for something else and I've been binge-watching as I find time.

[@swestervelt]

I feel his work is a testament to doing it right, and always proof that shortcuts cost more time and money. I just picked up the trick of keeping your pairs twisted in the punch down back to keep it that tidy.

[@basacis]

Glad to see you're recovered and working again bud.

[@DanielOlaiDanielsen]

I happened across your channel just as I was getting my first rack to fit my enterprise-grade networking equipment, finally tired of prosumer stuff that failed too often. While we did some cable runs back when I was working with computers, it was with very little knowledge and we were mostly just happy when it worked. It's nice to see how it's supposed to be done, and I like that you're explaining exactly why you're doing the things you do.

[@nerwin]

I think I learn more watching your videos than I did in school lol. That suggestion for doing keystones and patch panels was incredibly helpful, I was taught in school to untwist the pairs to punch them down but your way is so much easier. Thanks FiberNinja!

[@Robertobagnato]

i love your vids man , i really enjoy watching them and see how work is done right :)

[@the3rdbestnikkashopinyoura540]

I was screaming at the screen "Shut Up!" when that kid started his shit.

[@randyprice264]

Excellent video work and instructions. I've done similar work for years, first with a Nortel distributor, now with a company that does field work for Converge1. You're really helping the beginners get a good start with your videos.

[@scottjacko87]

Jon, the facility tours sound amazing. Only a recent join to your channel and I am enjoying your content very much. Thanks again for the insightful and educational video. Your work shows you care and put a lot of thought into what you do. Well done :)

[@jasonharper6765]

Being a fellow IT Man and Network infrastructure Engineer I enjoy these videos!

[@darthnael]

Thanks again for another great video! I am for sure hooked on your channel. I love love love the work you are doing and am definitively taking mental notes to better my own cable work going forward. Please keep the videos coming! :D

[@andrewhamre2005]

Yeah man very professional I recently started a home network and didn't mess it up I left me a service loop for my switch that has yet to arrive I was running cable and I thought damn gotta leave a service loop for the switch great work hope to see more

[@andrewclark8627]

as a network engineer it's a great thing to see the work you are doing

I work with networks daily, both cat network and fiber, and i just love to watch your videos and get ideas to become better :) I truly enjoy your content.

[@glenwallwork5194]

One of the few channels I subscribe to that I have notifications turned on for! Really enjoy learning your little tips on running and terminating cables, and setting up your networks. Very cool, keep up the great vids, would also love to see more on any Ubiquiti gear you are working with, love their gear!

[@RousedPotato]

Came across you a couple of weeks ago, probably seen 6+ hours worth already. Really going to help me with good working practices, recommended kit and equipment choices and for hopefully a future career in networking. Grats on 6.5k. All the best from the UK!

[@Lanceb131]

I LOVE your videos! 1 of main things I like is you do it right right away! I'm OCD & did my home network myself but I want to do some changes & updates to it after seeing your videos so thank you! 1 thing I didn't even know they made tell I watched you was the keystone jacks that have a female on both sides so I'm going to be putting that on most of my network runs & that's going to be about 30 ends total as of now & that don't include the new runs in going to be adding!

[@zJordy]

[@Mahaffer1]

I'm a fairly new to the channel, and I have really enjoyed the videos you are posting, and can't wait to see what's next in your networking adventures.

[@TenchiMisaki45]

Absolutely love the videos! I must say that I am learning a lot by watching a seasoned expert. I like it when you call out the previous technician's work and turn it into a "teachable moment". As for a suggestion, how about dividing the larger project out into multiple episodes? The first episode could be an overview of the work order with each of the subsequent episode tackling "phases" with a goal in mind for each episode? Just my 2 cents. Take care now and good luck!

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Oh yeah! I'm sooo doing that next time. Trust me, I had to be talked into even publishing that 2-hour video --and that's the one that made this channel popular!! I will still publish long-format videos of similar projects in the future but I'm thinking of cutting out all the "tangent" parts that can easily just be added to a tips video or something like a how-to on an entire subject. I'll also publish things in an episode-format based on phases of a project. Thanks for the input though!! Glad you like the videos!

[@gregsmith2377]

Thanks for the great update

[@ecu8r]

Great job!! Your an insperation too me. I'm a security tech in southern California, and I always see network rooms that are terrible. When I do my work I always think about making it easy for me to service the work after I'm done installing. I always take my time so I can be proud of my work. Hopefully one day I can meet you. I do live in the Los Angeles area. Keep up the awsome work.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Thought of you the other day / weekend. Spent some time running some ethernet cable at the house I'm currently living in (roommates house). Tracing and removing old / dead coax, tacking up and bundling all the cables in the crawl space right under the house - that was a joy. Then tacking through the attic over to where I have the drop coming through into a mini network closet. Enjoying the videos! Thanks for posting another!
