How to Punch Down a Network Ethernet Patch Panel

[@LK-pc4sq]

Interesting how he is terminating with the cable on the outside of the 110. I have always installed the cable between the termination rows.

[@verybang]

same lel

[@amarrio1278]

I would think it was obvious that he did it to show the process for the viewer. It would be difficult to show the viewer what was shown if he was terminating from the other direction. However, it might have been a good idea to specify that he was doing this for ease of teaching and that the cable was normally placed in the opposite direction.

[@LK-pc4sq]

As long as the cable is supported "zip tied" to the 110, should not matter really if its inside or outside. The point that needs to follow is bicsi standards that is, the twist needs to be less then a half a inch and punched down. 110 need to be redesigned to put the position number on the outside of the termination row. It is kind of hard to read when it is on the inside of the punch down rows.

[@ericb6390]

@@LK-pc4sq its not that hard to tell, with order on inside, being they have it on every section and even if get to last point on panel then just look at the wiring of the rest

[@Tommydco]

Inside is in fact the correct way.

This might be the best youtube video I have ever seen. No fluff. Lots of good instruction. Easy to follow.

[@FaberLSH]

Learning this from 2024. Thank you man

[@Sunflower-hm9ln]

Lol same

[@LoneIcon]

This is the most focus tutorial ive ever seen in patch panel process.

[@ptdatacom]

Nice video. Most manufacturers recommend keeping your punchdown tool set to the LOW setting when punching down patch panels as damage can occur to the patch panel. Often people will set their tool on HIGH thinking it cuts the wire better. LOW works fine. If it doesn't, you probably have a dull blade and you need to change the tip.

[@zarblitz]

A clear, no BS video. Thanks. Extra thanks for identifying the components you're using, like the type of blade on the punchdown tool.

[@pradeepwijayagoonawardana6358]

Wow 11 years old video yet incredibly detailed and clear description.

[@softaws]

Watching this video after 11 years Still I learn Something New

[@lohphat]

I would not untwist the pairs before punching. Use the raised peak to wedge between each pair to keep the twists in-place up to the block to minimize cross-talk and signal loss -- this is critical for cat6(a) certification -- then untwist the pair on the cut side before punching down for a cleaner cut. Then you'll get a tight connection with minimal signal loss and a lower chance of needing to undo a patch due to a test failure.

[@DiscountLowVoltage]

Great tip!

[@labibbidabibbadum]

Instant expert. Nicely done. Natural educator!

[@mugentuner]

Excellent tutorial here. really liked how you broke down the color coding standards as well as 'landing' the wires properly to minimize signal loss.

[@bposkier51]

This man has done an excellent instructional video and audio. Great zoom shots too. Thanks

[@DiscountLowVoltage]

That man is also very handsome 😍

[@Mom-pd5te]

Great video. Very clear, easy to see what you are doing and the explanation of each step was completely easy to follow. I appreciate the time you took to make a very useful video.

[@UKTomsk]

Nice clear and hassle free, just what the doctor ordered, thank you.

[@ffayaz007]

There cant be any other video to beat this one on wiring a patch panel. Cheers up, man...

[@ιωαννηςτσαπαρας]

THE BEST LESSON FOR THIS JOB IN KZbin THANKS

[@desantissecuritysystems4310]

You save me hours of work . Thank you so I was going crazy

[@mutley457]

good video...doesn't have hands showing and blocking the operation from view...it is the wire and the patch panel...very clear.

[@harunamwebeya7861]

You have kept your heart in this video I have liked it. It's so educative.

[@brettk.1398]

I love that this guy's name is Mercy. I need healing.

[@darrdarr3321]

Why untwist the pairs more than needed at all? Maintain the color's twist rate (each color has a different number of twists per meter) right up until they enter the punch down slots. The certifier should give you better results that way.

[@patricksmith4496]

+Darr Darr indeed! never untwist more than you need to.

[@assassinofoz]

@First Last Usually a Fluke DSX cable analyzer that certifies the cable is terminated correctly and will perform at the given speed. It also measures near end cross talk and far end cross talk which is why untwisting the pairs is a bad idea.

[@tripwired_]

Well paced video with clear videography, really useful - thanks!

[@fishroombum3771]

Thanks for posting. Good pace, clear and simple to follow. Nice work.

[@timlittle1083]

[@exodk1352]

great video. really easy to follow and only one i was able to find in a decent resolution

[@Mprikiman]

Great Video! The most detailed and thorough on punching down cables on a panel. You even explained how to properly use the punch tool. This may be the best video about this process on youtube. Thanks Mercy!

[@parviznieuwenburgizadi3753]

Nice and pedagogic description

[@ilaivunibola]

very good teaching on the color codes on 568 B or A easy for dummies to punch down a panel ...just hoped you laid the catv inside block instead you got them from the outside ....anyways cheers bro plus very clear video !

[@bobbybarnes1652]

I think he did it that way so viewers could clearly see the colored wires matching the label on the panel.

[@DerrickThomas17]

Very clear and concise video!

[@bilparanormalinvestigator5696]

I appreciate the use of an Hd camera. it was easy to see the whole time.

[@aldoomar309]

it is great, but, why didn't u do the second one?.....does it have to b wired at mirror image color order? or, looking from the center, u have to go in the same color order from left to right? please, include an explanation about it, and, if possible, as well, and clear, as this one, thx in advance....

[@Gledster]

Really useful video, thanks for the clear explanation and demonstration.

[@joseh-cristobal]

Very good explanation thank you

[@arsalan5858]

Very very good sir for explaning and thanks

[@wallyridgeway650]

I understand he was keeping the cable on the outside of the patch panel to show the color coding but the sheath to the cat 5 should be inside of the patch panel. Other than that, great video.

[@regaininglife9084]

Excellent video. Thanks

[@cachemoneydotexe]

Thank you for this video.

How to undo when you've made a mistake? Yanking it doesn't work...

[@gregblain4619]

Good production!

[@mh63111]

Thanks a lot Mr. Mercy for the nice video, it is possible to use one network cat6 cable for both PC and IP phone? I mean, can I generate a port from an existing port with out using a small switch or other device.

[@ryanbarrera2595]

Very clever and nice tutorial.

[@setnaffa]

Nicely done!

[@evilspoons]

Thank you for your idiot-proof video, very helpful since the installer who wired my apartment left one of the in-wall connections unterminated in my patch panel...

[@dannylee5588]

Good video THANK s

[@ksudude25]

Awesome video, its very concise, clear, and super easy to understand. That is the exact patch panel that I am looking for. Mercy, do you have the exact SKU number so I can order it online? Thanks!

[@UltimateTechHub]

The correct to terminate the cable is in between the rows not outside of the 110. Otherwise good video.

[@kamranrashid2772]

What’s the difference from A and B? Can you please tell me Thx

[@julianbogart126]

can anyone answere Molvi ?

[@bobbybarnes1652]

It's just a different color pattern to follow. It doesn't matter which one you use, as long as you're consistent at both ends. You could literally make up your OWN scheme if you wanted as long as your consistent at both ends ... but the NEXT GUY who comes along won't know what you did. That's why they make standards for everyone to follow. Not having standards would be like a "STOP" sign (on the road) meaning different things in two different cities. 568B just happens to be one of the most often used schemes.

[@kasraaghajani2371]

Thank yo so much Mercy.Thank you

[@rafaelguzman5601]

is it better to place all of them first on the patch panel and then punch them down ?what happens if you punch them as you place them one by one?

[@ramtrucks721]

Thanks for the videos buddy

[@rammartinez6873]

Hi, For example I have a utp cable with this scenario. I follow the color coding scheme type b on the patch panel on the other end what color coding scheme should I use direct to rj45, no keystone jack. Thank you for the help

[@thedirtybubble9613]

Very simple.

[@velumani..]

Thank you, it's helpful

[@techgood]

Very nice video, thank you very much Sir!

[@about2flip]

Great Video!!! Thanks

[@dormarchan7230]

it did not describe the other end...is it the opposite (my best guess)? OR beside it? left or right?

[@arvinbriones4032]

yow sir nice video, can i ask ? patch panel is use for extention? for the wall to connect a lan device?

[@ellyseanvil2814]

how come i see some videos where they will punch down all 8 wires on one side and some videos shows that 4wires gets punch on one side and remaning 4wires will be punch on the bottom part ?

[@hema5699]

Hi mercy! I must appreciate ...that it was a wonderful presentation...thank you so much :)

[@guild_navigator]

I have a brand new home with cat5 home run to a punchdown block in a panel in my laundry room. How do I tone out each individual cable? I can't seem to identify specific cables in the block.

[@ARC_Trooper_Han]

Untwists all of the pairs and terminates on outside of block... ouch

[@bobbybarnes1652]

You must have watched a different video.

[@iseeker3845]

Well done

[@Temppy1]

you should be wiring the cable inside the patch panel makes it easier to work on in the future

[@DaBronx_Bomber]

Why is Pin 1 and Pin 2 blue and blue/white instead of Green (568A) or Orange (568B)?

[@ailthescamp6187]

Can you remove the cable if you have already punch it down

[@wimptech6135]

Thanks bro

[@rawride]

This might sound silly but how is the copper inside the wire conducting to patch panel. Usually in electric cabling we remove outer cover of a cable and expose the copper and connect the copper to the board. How does this work without you doing that. the tool just cut off the extra part right.

[@niaz.shovon]

Rakesh Kamath the tool not only cuts off the extra part, it also pushes down the wire between the metals. Which actually scratches off the insulation and makes contact with the metal.

[@mbarkayasreah7695]
