Very instructive videos as always, sir. It's also worth mentioning that, for example, Cat 5 cables use only 2 out of the 4 twisted pairs to reach 100 Mbps speed and to achieve 1 Gbps speed, all 4 pairs must work flawlessly or the speed will fall back to 100 Mbps.

[@TrueThanny]

Something not covered in this video, and very important for making patch cables, is the difference between solid and stranded wires. Some cable ends work well with either solid or stranded wires, while others only work well with stranded. In general, if you're making patch cables, go with stranded. Beyond that, if you're wiring inside the walls, make sure it's riser rated. That just means there's something (typically a string) inside the sheath that physically supports the weight of the wire other than the wires themselves. CAT6 comes in riser-rated varieties, but it's also inherently suitable for in-wall wiring by design, as there's a plastic separator between pairs that effectively supports the weight of the wire as well. If you're wiring a commercial building, you also need to make sure the wires are plenum rated. That means the outer sheath is of a material that will not catch fire when subjected to extreme heat (it'll just melt). The only other thing I'd add is that all modern ethernet switches automatically detect whether a cable is straight through or crossover, and set up the connection accordingly (it's called auto MDI-X). Even a lot of ports on NICs and laptops support auto MDI-X. So it generally doesn't matter which cable type you use, unless you're connecting older hardware.

[@cryptearth]

fun fact: auto MDI-X is part of the gigabit spec - so any 1gbit port has it - hence if you use gbit crossover cables are obsolete

I'm binge watching, too... Whether you're a technician or an average Joe, there's something for everyone, even if you know this stuff already. Thank you for these awesome presentations! By the way, I saw a video of a Category 8 cable being prepared. Each pair is shielded in addition to the bundle, and that serves a secondary purpose as the second wire in each pair doesn't usually have a stripe. The narrator indicated that the dyes used in other cables for the stripe can cause less than optimal results. Has anyone else heard that?

Actually, the other type of cable that you were showing was an FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) cable. An STP cable has a woven shield around it. And also, there are other types of cables, too, like SFTP, or SSTP, where the second letter refers to the method the individual pairs are protected/

[@AlianeAbdelouahab]

The funny side is that when i was a beginner in hardware i laughed at ftp telling the guy how can a cable enhance file transfer protocol and not http 😂

[@shanez1215]

@@AlianeAbdelouahab Yeah, idk why they settled on the same acronym as FTP for that.

[@KSnakeW]

S(hielded)TP is not the same what F(oiled)PT is. In STP shield is made as metal braid/mesh. FTP cables has metalized foil. Differences is that the STP needs to be connected with ground to work. FTP doesn't need (but can be if cable has special conductor strand) to be grounded because metalized foil distracts EMI on its surface. FTP should not be used whitout actual need; they can self-interfere. CAT 7 and 7a are not TIA/EIA standards and it are not backward compatible with 8p8c connectors. These are designed to use with GG45 or TERA connectors. Propper replacement for CAT 5e are CAT 6a and CAT 8 Class I which are use 8p8c.

German HD-SatCom engineer from the media industry (actually specialized on fiber optic connectors for SMPTE311 (Lemo,Neutrik,Canare) here: Don´t forget that the most common used RJ45 connectors on Cat7 declared cables (min. 600 class F -1000MHz class FA), will throttle the performance to ~ Cat 6/E. You will get the same 10GBit speed, but the operating frequency of the whole network distance, despite the usage of the better Cat 7 cable is shrinking . (Like running through a wide corridor, just to be slowed down by a small door) But that's a good explanation. Thumbs up.

While technically true... but now a days any Ethernet device has straight to cross detection and will still function no matter if used straight or cross UTP cables .. since early 2000;s thats the standard as well auto detecting 10M, 100M, 1G, (10G) speeds / half or fulll duplex.

[@M1America]

This worked for me as well when I was able to get a GIGE Vision camera working using a patch cable. Really nice feature.

[@joeniemand5275]

What I am wondering though is if the auto detection will require any additional overhead. If there is an efficiency that I can have I want to know about it. Removing the need of a process of needing to determine something that would be unneeded if wired correctly from the start sounds like an efficiency.

[@shrike6259]

@@joeniemand5275 nope it's hardware detection. once you inserted the plug then the Ehternet chip knows it's pair configuration. no overhead no additional processing. it's a one time detection and then the hardware follows suit. It still does the same detection if your are putting in the "correct" cable but the chip still does same hardware config. the Ethernet chip has no preference, it does it's auto detection every time a cable is plugged in. (well a cable with a signal on it.)

Note that while Auto-MDIX is an optional feature of the gigabit ethernet specification (IEEE 802.3-2008: "Implementation of an automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration is optional for 1000BASE-T devices"), most gigabit ethernet interfaces do implement it, so in most cases you will not need a special crossover cable
