    I can’t thank you enough for the second fix. I had a 50m+ outdoor cat 6 cable running to my outdoor office and the cable snapped. I managed to apply the second fix and now the internet is back. No latency issues at all

      @@cyyborgg You can't join an ethernet cable like it was an electric cable, ethernet protocol at speeds 100 mbps or 1000mbs is very sensible to changes on the twisting, to changes on conductivity etc... it works at very high frequency. The video solution might work at a times, but not at other times. Your best way would be replace whole cable, if that's not an option, attach a female onnector on one end, and a male connector on the other end and connect it.

    Just did it and it worked!(the second tutorial) Thanks a lot!! It took a while and it wasn't as clean-looking as yours but it works just as good. A tip for any fellow attempting it, avoid my mistake and instead try to cut equal lengths on each side. It will be easier when you are twisting the cables together.

  • @shazmosushi
    @shazmosushi Před 4 lety +49

    Each pair of wires are twisted internally (called twisted pair) so that data can transfer with minimal interference. The explanation in the second part of the video MAY cause slower connection speed. This probably won't matter for most people (because you don't get close to the maximum transfer speeds normally), but for some it will matter greatly.

    When splicing a cable together, it is best to use a keystone and an rj45. Twisting bare copper together will cause latency loss which will effect network speeds. Electricians do this all the time and I have to follow behind and fix them. All in all, if your home run gets chewed in the center. Just buy a new pre-terminated cat5/6 cable or buy cat5/6 cable and terminate it yourself. Youll thank me later when your loading issues on your favorite streaming service work properly.

      Agreed! The cable slice at 4:00 is the perfect way to take a 10M cable and turn it into a telco wire! WTF was that mess? I was trying to find a video that shows how cable (zip) ties if pulled too hard will cause issues at higher transmission rates, but then I found a guy who is "splicing" a LAN cable with some form of a Western Union splice (which was not done correctly. ) How do I explain to students that the LAN cable is important to can cause issues when some clown puts this up on CZcams. Unless I missed that the professor is hurt and Gilligan is trying to impress Mary Ann, that would explain everything.
