FASTER Internet with a DIY Ethernet Cable - Connect RJ45 to Cat 5e or Cat6

This video will show you how to EASILY connect an RJ45 end to a Cat5e or Cat6 cable. I’m finishing the basement in our 40-year old home, and videoing each step along the way in a future Maker Space. I am NOT a pro - just a self-sufficient DIYer finishing my basement on a budget. I've leveled the concrete and converted an old garage door threshold into an exterior door and window, completed framing and pulled wire for electrical. Now I’m installing hardwired internet prior to hanging drywall. I could totally hire a pro to come in and do this for me, but why hire it out when I can build it on a budget myself???

I love how homemade this is and isn’t all about the new incredibly expensive stuff. Really shows how to actually get the wires around and that you know what you’re doing! Wonderful video, love how charismatic you are.
