Had the materials and the tools for almost a year and decided today was the day to work on the new install out in my party barn. Watched the video this morning and used the straightforward and well-presented info to complete several cables to connect my TV and SONOS sound bar to the internet. I have 8 more cables that I need to do out there to finish hooking up all the systems. Thanks for the great video.

The “string” inside the cable is actually for “ripping” the sheath open along its length to prepare the cable pairs for “making off”. ✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

@@TheNetGuy Hello, can you just use an old school (cat 5 era) crimper with these pass-through mod heads and then just neatly snip off the excess wires coming past the crimp / terminals ..? ...or will the cut off end be sloppy and interfere with a good plug in connection ..?
@TheNetGuy Жыл бұрын
@barrya.6212 you can, with a very sharp pair of scissors, cut off the excess after it is through and pull it back just a little into the crimper, so it doesn’t stick out. The biggest problem is if you don’t cut it flush, it could push the connector out of the housing.

@velocityacoustics Жыл бұрын
Please do not use the crimper to remove the jacket. You can nick the conducters. Buy a separate tool that slightly scores the jacket. I can see from the video the crimper completely penetrates the jacket. The "string" is technically called a RIP CORD. Also pass throughs while convenient, are really the worst type of RJ-45s. Having exposed copper on the end of the plug all in a row like that is terrible for NEXT. And the termination was far from perfect, there should be no more than a 1/2 inch of untwist. You could have organized the wires better, and massaged them further into the plug.

Does it even matter the colour code? I mean....as long as both ends are the same??
@TheNetGuy7 ай бұрын
Yes and no. The pins can be of any color but the pairs matter for shielding. Since you may not be able to see both ends in a large building or long run install it’s recommended to follow the pattern. Additionally wall keystone blocks follow a standard which makes it easier to punch down vs random wires. 👍
@stix877 ай бұрын
Thank you. In the B standard. It appears that the green pairs are separated. Im sure there's a reason. Can you elaborate on that?
@TheNetGuy7 ай бұрын
@@stix87yes, the transmit and receive wires actually flip ends when the cable is inserted, so send/receive pairs unit on each side. This is also how POE and auto negotiation work. So you can use any colors, just the pin outs need to be the same.

Are you using the Klein Tools crimper that he shown in the video? If so, one thing I learned yesterday is if you bought the Cable Matters cat6 passthrough connectors, they work terribly with these crimpers. The moment I tried out a Klein Tools cat6 passthrough connector, I no longer had any issue with it making clean cuts.
