Nice job Roland. I really like how you pinched and held the twisted pair in place and unravel it only enough to be pushed in. This helps the clippings stay together. Secondly, I liked the stand off dressing method, very clean appearance. Looking forward to see the next video. Bravo and thank you.

[@Korpaksson]

Very nice and clean work! When I was installing my home network, I had no former experience with those small 10'' patch panels. In comparison to their bigger friends (19'') they seem to lack some cable support from the back. To manage cables routing I added complete support made from aluminum pipes. But what I clearly see on Your video, it wasn't necessary. ;)

[@Delmitraining]

Hello Plomako, most of the panels you purchase do not come with the cable support. Over time, gravity works its magic on the cables and they begin to sag. If the terminated cables are not secured properly, they tend to fall out of the IDC and that is when the problem begins. we appreciate you taking time to watch the video. Please stay tuned for more videos

Well Explained!

[@drstewart]

This is generally a very good job, with informative, correct explanation of the whats and whys of termination. My only feedback would be to preserve the twists in the individual pairs right up to the punchdown block. This was mostly the case in the video, with a few pairs being a bit looser than I'd feel comfortable with. Preserving the twists could potentially make the difference between a pass or fail when certifying the cable run, particularly when dealing with higher categories of cable. But this is a small criticism, and again, very good instruction. I've subscribed and look forward to your content!

[@Delmitraining]

Hello D. R Stewart, Welcome and thank you for stopping by our channel. Your feedback is very much appreciated as it helps us improve upon future videos. You are absolutely correct about maintaining the twist right up to the punch down block as this helps minimize the introduction of crosstalk between adjacent pairs which is critical during cable certification.

Thank you for showing the 2nd way to strap and leave space to panel..nice and pretty but it would have been a night mare to replace or test the 1st cable terminated on panel with the other cables tightly terminated on top the middle.grouping and restrapping with space to access panel termination is ideal.

I think velcro that matches the color of the cables is the best look. Blue CAT VI, exact same blue velcro.

[@dsterry74]

Very neat work. Thank you for the explanation on how to keep the pair distribution the same length. My only question is why not route the second set to the other side so that no cables are running om top of the others? It seems like it would be better for troubleshooting later, especially if you had to terminate any cables on the first set.

[@Delmitraining]

Hello Darryl, Thanks for reaching out. Ideally that is the best way to split and terminate the cables. However when you have cables coming in bundles of 24, it is a little bit tricky to split them above and ceiling route them that way. Take into consideration that there might be a switch between the panels. I am working on another video that explain this concept. Please stay tuned in for that.

[@chriszablocki2460]

That's super clean. Are drip loops, or leaving serviceable lengths at the termination point an outdated standard?

[@Delmitraining]

You will not need a drip loop if your rack or cabinet has been bolted and the position will not change or move. It helps ensure that your terminations are clean.

[@AnandNarine]

what are your thoughts on patch panels with keystone jacks. some dont even need to be punchdown

[@Delmitraining]

Keystone jacks are great and are generic, meaning that they are manufactured by many different vendors. My concern typically is who makes the one you might purchase and were they made of quality materials to meet the standard. We have used different types of keystone and some we have had problems with especially in areas of speed and crosstalk. For basics home networking, you shouldn't have any issue. Our advice, however, is to find a reliable distributor if you need them for other data or mission critical purposes. Good luck, and sorry for the late response

[@ajelazegui45]

can i use this patch panel with two different isp provider at my home setup? thanks

[@Delmitraining]

Hello AJ, Thank you for reaching out. If I understand your question well, then the answer is yes. The patch panel can be used to service any interner provider. Remember that the patch panel is where all the cables from multiple user locations terminate. So if you have two or more providers, you can terminate them both on the panel. The most important thing is to make sure that, you maintain the same termination standard (568A or 568B) at both ends and remember to label the terminated ports with the appropriate names or designation. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day!

My house has (15) builder-installed Cat5e T568A cables from 2007 and (8) Cat6 T568B cables that were added this year. When I run these Ethernet lines to my patch panel do I just wire them per there existing designations (T568A or T568B)? Does mixing different Ethernet cable types and wiring schemes create any problems? Thanks!

[@Delmitraining]

Thank you for reaching out. When you run the new Cat 6 cables to the Cat 5e patch panel, there are a few things to note. You are at liberty to have cables terminated as either 568A or 568B so long as both ends match. So having white green or green with white stripes as pin 1 and solid green as pin 2 etc. For 568A. When you have white orange or orange with white stripes as your pin 1 and solid orange as pin 2, this would indicate a 568B wiring scheme. Having 568A on one end of the cable and 568B on the other will create a crossover cable. If you are in the position to maintain one wiring scheme, our advice would be to stick to that to avoid future wiring mixups. Finally, termiating a Cat 6 cable on a Cat 5e patch panel will cause the cable to assume the characteristcs of a Cat 5e cable due to the thresholds set for Cat 5e. You will notice a lot of crosstalk at the patch panel. Thank you for reaching out once again and our apologies for the late response. Good luck

Tip: Don't work over your cables like they show when terminating at the patch panel. Rather get an inline patch panel. It reduces installation time by over 50%, nevermind that the this the chance of signal degradation, when.not installed properly.

Hola Ricardo, y gracias por haber contactado con nosotros. Es una pregunta muy buena y práctica. Hay casos en los que el bloque de terminales se daña durante la perforación. cuando esto sucede, lamentablemente, tendrá que reemplazar todo el panel o marcar ese puerto específico como defectuoso para que el cliente sepa que no debe usarlo. debido a casos como ese, prefiero usar los paneles de conexión sin carga.

why you chose A Why not B???

[@Delmitraining]

Hello Mohamed, thank you for reaching out. It really doesn't matter which of the termination standards you choose to adopt. The key though is to make sure that both ends follow the same pinout configuration. I live in Canada and majority of the terminations ae done conforming to the 568A pilot configuration. I will achieve the same results if I were to use the 568B for the video. Hope this answers your question. I hope you have a great day!

FIRST NO ONE terminated patch panel as 568A anymore unless you are working on a PBX system. second leaving that much open wire behind the punch is against code

[@Delmitraining]

Hello, thank you for stopping by. I live in Canada and we do a lot of 568A terminations. Our neighbors down south, the Americans do a lot of 568B wiring. As per TIA, you are at liberty to use any of the two wiring schemes as long as both ends are the same for a straight through connection. Also, the notion of 568A used only for PBX is incorrect. It might have been widely used in the past for such purposes however, i am aware of many other jurisdictions around the world that still use 568A scheme. Now to your second question, Cat 5e cables are known to have a less twist ratio per inch. When terminating them, you may experience a wider gap expecially on the blue pair due to this reason, and this explains why there is so much crosstalk at the panel. Thanks for the learning opportunity. Have a great day!

[@antonioarizo4881]

Fu.......k of how much cable just cutted off and wasted🤦‍♂️

[@Delmitraining]

Hello Antonio Arizo, Thanks for watching our video. unfortunately, there are no wastage of cables because any excess cables that were cut off were recycled. This is the correct method to have your cables terminated onto a patch panel. It is always better to have an extra foot of cable than to have an inch short. It is very important not to dispose of copper cabling without properly recycling them. We are very fortunate to have facilities that would recycle and reuse the cables that we scrap. We would be glad if you have a better method of terminating patch panels as we would love to learn from you. Thank you once again

[@danielsatko-]

no gounding? no shielding? what is this crap for?

[@Delmitraining]

Hello Computer Service Slovakia, Thanks for reaching out. This video is a tutorial on how to properly terminate an unshielded twisted pair cables onto a loaded patch panel. Grounding is an important part of the design of any network closet. TIA, ISO and CENELEC have recommendations regarding the proper steps required for grounding and bonding. Even though they have their recommendation, they always recommend to consult the local fire codes bases on your jurisdiction. In every network closet, grounding is an important part of the overall design and the network rack or cabinet must always be properly grounded. When terminating UTP cables on an unshielded panel, there is no need to ground the individual patch panel because the rack or cabinet should have already been grounded. The situation is different when working with shielded cables. with regards to shielded cables, each shielded patch panel must be individually grounded to help dissipate all unwanted noise to ground. if you have any specific concerns, please let us know and we will address it.

[@danielsatko-]

@@Delmitraining who uses unshielded cables this time?

[@Delmitraining]

Hello again, since this is a channel dedicated to sharing knowledge, I will take this opportunity to educate you. There are different categories of cables available on the market today right up from Cat 5e to Cat 8. All these cables have different frequencies to which the operate. The higher their frequencies the more bandwidth they have and this also increases the data transfer rate. There are additional factors to this such as the amount of twist per inch of each of the pairs to help eliminate crosstalk and also the cable gauge used. Most network applications in today's use require speeds of up to 1Gbps. Unshielded Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables are designed to support such speeds in environments with little to no interference which is our every day life application when the cabling is installed and supported properly up to 100 meters, 300ft. Unshielded Cat 6A supports speeds up to 10Gbps and is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6. Bear in mind that most network equipment in our day to day use does not support this speed. Such speeds are required in areas where high bandwidth application are required such as data centers etc. Cat 7 to 8 are designed to support speeds of up to 40Gbps. To achieve this speed their construction must include Shielding of the individual pairs and an overall braiding with an increased cable gauge. Even with all these added bells and whistles, the max channel length is 30 meters for 40Gbps and 10Gbps at 100 meters. Now, when working in areas with high interfering sources such as factories with lots of RF generating sources or applications for Audio Visual, Shielded cable is recommended and the category of the cable depends on the desired speed So now I hope you understand why UTP cables are the preferred cable for every day applications.
