Connect Cat6 cable to Jack
Vložit

- Simple to understand step-by-step on connecting the Cat6 (or Cat5e) cable onto the RJ-45 Ethernet jack. This is also referred to a "terminating" or "a termination".
You will need a Cat6 or Cat5e modular insert (jack), Cat6 or Cat5e cable, scissors or cable stripper, and 110 punch down tool. Cat6 (category 6) cable is the latest technology in Ethernet cabling. However, it is also expensive. About 0.15 USD per foot when purchased in bulk. If money is a big consideration, you might consider cat5e. It is about 30% less expensive and does support 1gig speeds when installed properly.

Steps:
1. strip back cable jacks (the cable skin)
2. lay out wires on to grooves on the RJ-45 jack using the color code as a guide for the location of each wire.
3. use 110 punch tool to press wires down into the grooves while the cutting edge of the 110 blade perforates the left over wire so we can break it off and discard
4. place dust caps on top of terminated cable grooves. - Jak na to + styl
Finally someone said what the difference is for the A or B wiring. Thanks
I've been terminating cables since 2000. I love your video. I wish you would have made this when I started. This would have saved me a lot of time. I also have a few punch down tools with the black tape, lol. And much respect terminating barefoot. Hats off to you sir!
thank you for watching. flattered to know that even pros like you are watching my channel. 😄
Thank you so much for the easy illustration and explanation in this video. Most people are not as good explaining it. I happen to have the exact jack that you had and it was very easy to do. I did see your mistake from the beginning and I knew you were going to catch it. Thanks again.
+Eladio Perez thanks for the feedback back. :-)

Thanks, I am following a manual to connect up CAT6 and molex connectors, there is so much knowledge that has gone into connectors and IP ratings and things to improve communications. An electronics supplier's catalogue is vast and complex.
Man thats just so clean and tidy. I had my first attempt last night annd what a mess :( wires everywhere.. and some of them didnt terminate correctly. Bought a cable tester though and theyre worth their weight in gold. Im going to re do them all this way. Thanks for the video.
Best DIY tech video I have seen. I chose it due to the shortness of the video and it was perfect. short to the point and no jacking me around.
+Joshua Lehman thanks Josh. I will take the comment. I realize most who watch my Vids are looking for a quick answer. However, sometimes some preamble is necessary. I strive to balance my wordiness with expediency. Thanks for your comment. 😊
pun intended?
Thank you so much for the detailed demonstrations
Straight to the point....great. Lots of info vids. Go on and on you go to the potty come back and they haven’t gotten to what you want🤦🏼♂️
Right?? Ah hahahah
Thanks for this!
Thanks for sharing! I was about to relocate my home phone by rewiring it through my attic. However, I noticed my old phone line that was established by the previous owner only used two lines orange and orange/white while others were not connected. So, since I am going to use Cat6 connector, should I still follow the same thing by only adding orange and orange/while leaving other colors loose?
Nice exactly what I'm fixing thanks
hank you so much for the easy illustration and explanation in this video
Extremely helpful sir. Thank you 🙏
So glad 😀
I can't wait for the new 2.5gbit protocol. Do you happen to know if it can come to existing motherboards and routers with a firmware upgrade?
hey, wow. No, not heard of that. Sounds as though you may be ahead of me in that department. Are you an IT person? I'm more focused on Network infrastructure and Telecom/VoIP. Tell us more.
It was good video explaining how to punch down the RJ45 jack. You left out the tiny tywrap tie to secure the cable to the jack... Since it comes with the jack why not use It! Just a thought!
+Frank Pyon excellent catch Frank! :-)
Thanks for you help I got it all connected thanks to this.
Wonderful Fin! Glad to hear it. :-)
Thanks for the tips. I work at a hotel and the restaurant phone went out. With limited parts and knowledge I was able to pull it off. Thanks..
Way to go! Good old CZcams to the rescue! :-)
nice video
If I install a CAT6 Cable in a RJ45 jack ment for CAT5/5E does this affect the speed or performance of the cable ?
mixing Cat5e and Cat6 cable usually will little or no affect on speed *unless* you're covering distances longer than 100ft. Or, you're trying to reach 10gig network speeds.
Danke
Do you have to use a 110 blade for cutting (or whatever it's called) or can you also use a simple wire cutter?
Well, you can do it without a 110. Just need something soft to force the wire down into the grooves. Then, use a wire cutter to cut the excess off as close as you can to the edge of the jack. If you're in a tough spot and that's all you can do, it will work. But, the right way is to use the 110 punch tool.
Thanks for commenting!
Ok thanks!
Does it work with credit card or something like that ? What is the best tool if you haven'nt 110 punch tool ?
@@zezan321 the credit card method works better if it's maxed out first, because then you can't afford to buy the proper punch tool.
@@pegpenguin Thank's for you answear, I bought punchdown tool for that and now i am using it at work and is really easy to wire a jack
thank you sir!
+Rizwan Aboobacker Sideeque my pleasure. Glad I could help.😀
Question for u: If I send 50mbps to 5 clients, each with a router, how can I limit each one of them with what I'm selling them? Ex. One client buys me 10, the other 5, the other 3, and so on. Is there a way to limit them so that one of them doesn't take the entire bandwidth? Thanks.
Sorry for the late reply but yes you can "throttle" bandwidth many different ways. A lot is depends on the hardware you have. Any router with the DD-WRT (linux) firmware can limit DL speeds and much more. There's shell commands that can accomplish this as well by enabling SSH in Winblows and remotely configure each router by ip address. I can't really add much more without knowing your set up but here's a couple links that should point you in the right direction. What router you are using. Which OS you have and what version. Reading up on how static vs Dchp work will def help your situation. Setting static ip's for each router will save you a lot of grief down the road. Check the wiki for hardware support for your router, Also the last link is the only real place you need to go with router questions. Take care m8

Nice video! Very helpful to this beginner. Can I ask: (a) where did you get your keystone jacks? And (b) how to you compare the punch down to the “toolless” jacks? Thanks!
Thanks for asking. I get my Jacks either from Monoprice or Graybar. I highly recommend you avoid buying the from the big box hardware stores (unless they are name brand Leviton or Hubble jacks). As for the toothless Jack's, I have no experience so I wouldn't be the best person to ask.
Thanks for your questions and thanks for watching. :-)
Panduit, Dale, Panduit.
Yeah Panduit is very reputable. I am a Leviton guy, but nothing wrong with Panduit. 😁
@@DIYTelecom Allen-Tel are good
Love the fury hand right in the center of the picture. Do u guys ever watch what u record.
hi Glenn, thank you for your thoughtful comment. And, thanks for watching! :-)
can i do that in STP cable ... OR.... its ok for UTP cable only?
The same idea would apply. But, I will admit, I don't working with STP that much. There might be some small differences in the process. For instance, what do you do with the ground wire? Great question, thanks for commenting! :)
Can you able to show color coding for the module and cat 6 wire
Thanks
Hello, i am looking for a insert like your RJ-45 jack which i can use for my self 3D-printed case. Maybe something with screws like the old VGA-Cabel holder. I have to connect 4 cables from one case to another - so i do not really need it for LAN. Is there something you know and can recomend me? I hope my english is good enough :-) Thanks in advance for your help.
Tam, my favorite place to look for things like that is monoprice.com. Good luck! :-)
Thank you :-)

Hello, I am curious as to what you ended up using for your 3D printed case. Can you tell me what brand?
Is it possible to use a cat6 wiring into a cat5e wall plate? Because for whatever reason I cannot get it to work..
yes Chris, you should usually be able to use cat6 wire with cat5e jacks and vice-versa. I suspect if it's not working then one of the wires is in the wrong place. Or, not making a solid connection in the jack.
Not all Jacks & plates are interchangeable
Hopefully you’re still answering comments on this stuff.
Recently had to do some work in my place cause of the confusing mess left behind by the previous occupants. He had the modem going to a switch, the switch then had its jacks going to a board, before he had the cables going to the rooms connected to the board for internet. Had complaints that the speeds to those rooms weren’t working as intended, while another room was working fine that skipped going to the board and went right to the switch, so I figured I’d take the cables going to the rooms off the board and go right to the switch. Originally I had put the male sides in the B config to the switch, then I changed the wall jack in one of the rooms to the b config as well, since for some reason the previous tenet made it the a config. But now the speeds are somehow worse. So I went and changed the male end at the port to A config, and had no change. Any idea where I’ve messed up?
For 10/100/1000 Mbps connections, whether you use an A or B style termination on the ends really should make any noticeable difference in speed. Ideally, you want the same config on both ends, but with modern equipment now, mixing A on one side and B on the other should still work.
I am almost wondering how well the connections are terminated. 🤔
Very interesting Vlog 👍 stay CONNECTED ❤️
I have to lol, as I never knew your supposed to use a punch down tool. I’ve always put the wires in ,then pressed the top cap on with pliers . Funny as they still worked .
Anyways I purchased a Klein punch down tool today , and I’m wondering if that brand is any good for this ?
Klein has been an industry leader for years & some brands(Panduit) use a tool that terminates without an impact tool
Would you please explaine how to connect cat6 cable to RJ12 connector6p4c
Very nice
Glad to help, Goswami.
I'm working data voice
I thought Cat6 has a solid plastic tube that the little colored wires wrap around.
They do make Cat6 with a cross-shaped inner core that separates the pairs. However, not all Cat6 cables require that in order to achieve the Cat6 rating.
Thanks for pointing that out.😀
That's because there's two different types of cable plenum and riser!
Mann, i still don't understand how to put the cable into the standard A slot or B slot. How can you tell? The slot looks the same! I bought cat6 keystone just for exercise and still, can not see where the slot A or B is. HELP!!! :(
Its color coded on the jack
@@abc-bu7nr Got it! TY. =D
Can you connect 2 cat6 cable to the same cat6 jack?
You might be able to, physically, but it wouldn’t function as a data outlet. However if your purpose was just for phone wiring, that might work.
Question: if I have a cat6 cable for the internet. Should I make the end part of the cable into a jack or into a connector?
+toodamnfob for non-commercial use ( like at home), you can do which ever is easier. In commercial installations, every cat 5 or 6 cable that runs from the data room our to a workstation are should be terminated with a jack or a patch panel. Using a crimp-on in a commercial install is considered unprofessional.
DIY Telecom Also, is it possible to do a crimp on without the tool?
I cannot think of a way to do the crimp without the tool. If you look around on the Internet, it's possible that someone might have a system that does not require the tool.
@@DIYTelecom Speaking as a professional, whatever the customer wants, that's what the customer gets.
One is not more professional than the other lol
Can the jack be re-used? Or is the jack like a RJ45 that once u punch a cable in it cannot be used again
You can definitely re-punch a Jack several times. 😊
As DIY said you can & most definitely will re use jacks if you do many of them.
Gota allow for human error
Is this the same as terminating a Cat5e cable to a jack?
yes, the same. Cat 6 and Cat5e procedures are very much the same.
+Lucas K Films yes, exactly the same. However the pattern of where the wires go on the Jack may be a little different.
DIY Telecom alright. thanks for a great video. got my jacks and plate made!
Lucas K CONTROL
Don't forget the tie wrap
ah, you caught me. very observant. The mono-price jacks are the only ones I have seen that have that. 😄
me gustaria esto en español
Can I piggyback another set of wires over the existing to run a keystone Jack in another room?
The final tips for working on this is to always put on your shoe 😎
Exactly!😆
that is one fugly looking cable end!!
There are two types called 586A and 586B. Up colors for A and lower ones for B. Your cable is not Cat6. The Cat6 cable has a plastic cross shape bone inside.
Your cable needs to be fully seated to the back of the jack. This is the incorrect procedure on crimping. Also use a cradle to hold keystone jacks. Crimping on a table stresses out the plastic clip and will lead to breaking due to excessive force.
Please hindi me btay
you have job I am technician
Found out the technician that told me it was wired incorrectly wired it incorrectly after 2-3 years of my router acting weird, it was doing 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 instead of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 he swapped orange and white orange 😑
Glad you got that figured out! 😳
This is Cat5 Cable. NOT Cat6
Do you have video? 😄
@@DIYTelecom Just google it. The difference between Cat5 and 6 is that 6 has a drain in it that terminates to the housing of the connector. The mod (cable end) has a metal shield on it that the drain gets terminated to. As for video? No... I do this for a living.
Ok good. I see your point. Thanks for the correction. Let me see about getting some of the materials and making a new video 😃
(Btw, I have eaten my fair share of fiber glass insulation too)
cat6 can actually handle 10 gbe even
Yep! Sure can, over short distance. 😊
Great camera placement, NOT.
Why am I watching this?
Very useless 😡
Thanks for watching and the feedback. Please post the link to your video so we can see how it should be done. :-)
@@DIYTelecom your hand is in the way dude. Did you not see that?
@@DIYTelecom This is very good for beginner or someone that just wants to put a couple jacks on.
Your instructions were really easy to follow. I've been doing it for many years but everybody has to start somewhere and this is a good place to start.
Do you not realize your hand is covering the camera?
