How to make a Cat6 Network Cable

[ahzhang02]

umm... will this work if u connect a modem to a router? i have a laptop, will it boost my internet speed?

[JohnAP2]

Sweet. Only took me 45 minutes to put one RJ45 on. One down 35 more to go...

[muzamilsy3d]

thanks mate worked perfectly

[apostledesign]

Seems like a lot of work to use the wire aligning tool. What is the advantage of using that? Is it ok to just use the RJ45 connectors that you feed straight in for the Cat? That is what we have been doing for years with the Cat5.

If you have time, please send me your opinon. Than you.

[MorkaGraven]

The thing to pay attention to is the untwisting. The twists help to control the electro-magnetic properties of the plastic, which is the important part of the data cable. Just because the cable works, doesn't mean it can't be improved. A good cable should have as little impedance as possible.

[wowhappydude]

0:15 Tools

1:01 Separate wires inside the cable

1:15 Separate individual wires

2:04 straighten and cut the wires

2:40 slide each individual wire through the little holes

* 3:02 This is the hardest part

3:50 double check your wires

4:31 crimp

4:38 test the cable

Thanks for the video

Error, try again screw you youtube

adff

[SRMTHFGLover1]

I use CAT6 cable ^^

[commguy353]

Absolutely Cat6 cable, can tell by the twist in the pairs.

Absolutely Cat6 connector, can tell by the pair separators.

Absolutely a cheesey tester, but good enough to confirm continuity and they make a model with MDII and MDIX switch for crossovers.

Absolutely proof that people should proof read before they criticize, " It even doesn't show 8pin wiremap" perhaps you meant. "it doesn't even show an 8 pin wiremap"

"a small amount of knowledge, will always escape from a big mouth"... ;)

[nikolasthewise]

This is not Cat6 connector nor it is Cat6 cable..... google it

Tester is cool... NOT!!! It even doesn't show 8pin wiremap

I would like to see how he tests crossover cable with that thing X)

If nothing... you can learn how to make Cat5 connector from this ;)

[connectfast]

@nikolasthewise man this is exactly cat 6 cable correct ur knowledge 

[geoffdoor]

we use cat 6 - when rigging football grounds - its really cheap the cat 6 but its very strong cable for carrying a strong signal

[tylertytylerty]

Respond to this video...  i need one but to yong to get one

[cal920c]

so you essentially use t-568B standard right?

[Aksidents]

where can i buy connecters like those? the normal ones are hard to get the wires in right

[robbieontheplaya]

Thanks! Before watching, I didn't know in which order to put these wires (and had a 50:50 chance of getting it backwards). Thanks for the video showing me which way it went!

[ascender816]

Thanks for the instructional. What a bunch of angry tools making negative comments.

[monkster214]

you suck how

[seeker9969]

Nice job buddy :) Ignore the idiots that are saying foul things. I am guessing that the plastic piece you slipped over was to reduce cross talk and hold the wires in place?

[h0w13r]

He's not doing it wrong either...this is how you make a Cat6 ethernet cable, you all must be thinking of cat5e.

[JonTheChron]

This is the worst instructional video ever... hes doing everything wrong.

[thompsonm97]

He did that all wrong! Maybe they do it that way in India who knows but it's wrong.

[01chadman]

this stupid fuck has no clue how to this.i do this for a living

[MrSeinfeldFan]

The context maybe great but the quality of the video itself is so poor!... Hard to see the details we must be able to see.

[sparced]

I bought 40m of cat 6 with rj45 already on both ends, is it worth bothering to shorten the cable length if I only need 30m?

[mzambo666]

Thank you so very much for the post!!! I am doing this today by the way at the new job. It is my first time. Thanks!

[Guyadeen1]

ill just stick to buying the 1 doller ethernet cable

[h0w13r]

@Guyadeen1 Why don't you stick with grade school, also. You can't even spell dollar...come on man.

[Gxkliks]

dutch English sucks

[creevyboy]

Over 5 minutes for ONE connection. like the scissors too! Do you not possess a pair of snips? :-)

[TedTimmis]

Thank you for this very useful video!

[t0e1]

What is that little plastic piece, that he is sliding the wires through, so they will all be lined up and easy to slide into the rj45 connector? And where can I purchase them?

Someone please tell :)

[toddalston96]

hey #VIDEOPOSTERID#, head over to |stream episodes [dot] net| to be able to watch complete episodes and movies given that youtube won't permit these kind of videos.

How to make a Cat6 Network Cable

[BahoUtot]

I need help plz, I'm not getting any sound when I pulled the wire like you did on 3:34. Am I doing wrong?

[mborr12]

@BahoUtot lol i think that is his phone ringing

[bwisitnamanito]

He should inserted the connector upside. white orange was inserted to pin 8. The "cable " will pass on the cable tester but not on actual network equipments.

[onesexychamp]

@bwisitnamanito

wow u are smart. what type of cat 6 is the fastest. i am looking to upgrade an old network for a client of mine. what do you suggest

[congozs]

i agree with dubc0723, ur method is so time consuming. imagine if u hv to crimp 1000 points!!! you dont hv to cut the cable in an angle. just slide ALL of them thru...

[dubc0723]

Your method is time consuming! Maybe I'll respond to this video one day.. =)

[onesexychamp]

@dubc0723

when u make one PLEASE let me know

[marlls1989]

I dont have and couldn't find that RJ45 connector, I just found the regular ones without "plastic piece" used in cat5, can that be used?

[DoctorPatient]

???

at 0:45 you say that the plastic spine that runs the length of the cable is to "keep the wires together" -- the function of the plastic spine is just the opposite! it's to keep the twisted pairs SEPARATED from each other, maximizing the signal integrity of each pair

that aside, thanks for the helpful video

[dalbir122]

roflmfaool his accent is funny but damn thanks for the help

[eze311]

First of all, you should always wire for TIA "A" standard, phones work on blue/ blue/white, orange/orange/white. Who makes a patch cable? Patch cables are made from stranded cable, so they can withstand twists better. Otherwise thx for the video :)

[SlutMonkey9834]

do u need the little plastic peace or can u use rj45 connector without it?

[BHtechnology]

Yes, sort of. Cat 5e can go to 1gbps, but that is pushing it. Cat 6 does that easily, and exceeds 1gbps.

Most cat 5e cable isn't shielded, but some is. Not all cat 6 cable is shielded.

[danielcubillosk]

@BHtechnology did anyone ask?

[MorkaGraven]

@BHtechnology UTP is better if you can't earth it the shielding. The shield does the opposite otherwise.

[ronpasa69]

Whats the difference between CAT5 CAT6? Number of twist right? But the processes is the same, isn't it?

[BHtechnology]

The difference is CAT6 is faster in data transfer. I think the process is pretty much the same, though.

[jordinyc]

Wrong. Cat 5e (what most people mean when they say "Cat 5") and Cat 6 BOTH support Gigabit Ethernet. The difference is in the degrees of shielding, not speed.

According to Wikipedia (as of this comment): "Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise." Also notice the plastic core and string not present in 5e.

The article also says Cat 6 is "expected to suit the 10GBASE-T (10Gigabit Ethernet) standard"

[lizardman242]

What code was that guy using C code??? He inserted the head the wrong way. The clip side should be faceing the floor not you.

[Rodrigorootrj]

No,no, no...imcomplete, very slow and missing peaces.

[crest4578]

whats teh difference between cat6 and cat5? would they work on a XboX 360?

[Dutch3DMaster]

Cat5e and Cat6 are basically the same, but Cat6 (as you could've red in the video description) provides better shielding than Cat5e does, because it has a sort kind of "chamber" system inside to keep all the pairs nicely positioned next to each other.

Cat6 thereby provides not only the 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T networks, but also the 1000Base-T (also known as Gigabit) networks.

Reaching that speed is almost impossible with home build cables though.

Oh and yes: you can connect your Xbox with it.

[spookyman123]

lol ur phone rang...nice video

[michaelko000]

pair of scissors ???? use your crimping tool,which by the way cut better!!!

[Sealy1986]

Golden rule of network cabling: Only make them when absolutely nessecary. Purchasing them at a retail store is still the best method of choice for installing cable due to the increased chance of human error. Machines are far less prone to missing wiring assignments, (not wired in correct order) then we are. Plus they crimp the cable a lot better. Not to mention man-made ethernet cables are far prone to EMI then industrial ones you buy from retail store.

[Surisis1983]

You tool. They're so damn cheap it doesn't matter. Like i'm gonna pay for 30 dollar cable that will last 5 more months than my 8 dollar one. get outta town.

[aminex]

agreed, but crossover cables are ridiculously expensive so when i need one, of a i just make one for cheaper.

[bwhited1]

Ok, your right. When networking an entire server rack, it is a lot better to spend 2500 bucks rather than 200. Way smarter your way.

[Inni8]

Holds the wire together inside the wire? CABLE!!!

[billin]

THANK YOU - helped me immeasurably!

[cezaxgame]

How to make a Cat6 Network Cable?? u need a cat6 cable Lmao wow
