How to terminate Cat5e Cable - Heads, Keystones, Crossover, etc.

[leomotta2009]

sorry but I can not understand a thing, what should be the sequence of the cables rj 45. the female RJ45 jack I crimpei in sequence: Green White / Green / white orange / blue / white / blue / orange brown white / brown my doubt is in the cable rj45 each end must be with the same sequence or the second point is the order reversed? if the order would be reversed: white orange / orange / Green White / Blue / White blue / green / brown white / brown would it really?

@leomotta2009 The cable diagram for both ends of the cable should be exactly the same, or the cable will not work.

[leomotta2009]

@sewelldirect Well then I did, but now when the computer recognizes the Gateway error. That would be some wire in the cable that did not touch?

[sewelldirect]

@leomotta2009 A gateway error is usually an issue with a setting, not the physical cables or connections. (Your gateway is the route traffic takes to get out of the local area network, usually your router's address in a home network)

[leomotta2009]

@sewelldirect I'm a little confused by the following, I only get this error when I connect the cable gateway in RJ45 jack, if I connect the cable directly into the router it works normally without any error. How could solve this problem?

[sewelldirect]

@leomotta2009 Ok, if you get errors running through the permanent link connection that disappear when you bypass the permanent link, then there is obviously something there. Check both of your patch cables independently. Double check that both of your keystone jacks are wired to the same wiring scheme (using the diagram on the jack itself) and double check all wires are seated properly. If that doesn't fix it, I'd look into the cable run itself, and sources of interference etc.

I need new tools. :/

hi dude i have two cable

(TIA/EIA-568B 2 CAT5e patch cable ftp)and the other one is

(TIA/EIA-568A CAT5 utp) i don;t know which one is for DSL internet or 2nd one connect two computer using lan cards can you tell me the both of them thanks

[sewelldirect]

@Sajjadkhan456456 as long as both ends are wired the same (568B to 568B or 568A to 568A) it doesn't matter which type of patch cables you use. A crossover cable has one end 568A and the other end 568B. They are used for connecting two of the same components, for instance computer to computer or router to router. For your DLS modem to your router or from your router to the computer you can use standard patch cables.

why the wires always go else

[retsain]

yeah" thanks for this" i made it perfect....'

[battenberg72]

surely when punching faceplates, if you are double handling the cable on a structured cable installation with your punchdown tool, it would take you twice as long to complete the job? Would you do that on a 500 port installation?

[sewelldirect]

@battenberg72 Are you thinking of the time it takes to wire the keystones or the time it takes to wire the RJ45 heads? In the past when I've been doing big cable installs there are definitely tricks you can use to speed things up but really you just have to work quickly and accurately and power through. And definitely watch out for blisters on your fingers. That's a lot of connections to wire.

[battenberg72]

@sewelldirect yeah Keystones. Try this: cut your sheath back further to expose longer pairs, dont untwist them but arrange the pairs according to your pinouts and fan them into their rough positions. Use your thumbnail and push it though the pairs just enough to just seperate them over the punchdown slots, they can then be pulled down taught over the punchdown slots and the twist beyond holds them in place until you punch and trim the excess. No double handling but maybe still some blisters! :)

Thank You, your very clear, and helpful

Q: When you punch down each of your colored wires in its slot how is the copper in each wire connected? Is it pierced at the bottom of its slot in a similar way to when you crimp an rj45 plug. I'm just curious anyone know the answer ??? Cheers...

[sewelldirect]

@Tigermania Keystone jacks use what is called an Inuslation Displacement Connector (IDC) Essentially there are two blades that form a "V" perpendicular to the wire. The punchdown tool will force the wire down into the "V" the insulation is cut away from the sides and the inside wire connects to the blades. IDCs are also used in patch panels, 110 blocks and other structured wiring connectors.

hi.is there any scientific reason for the color codeing? i thought maybe over long runs induction might have an influence and that the coding may decrease it or something. the reason i ask is because i did an 80 meter run with no specific code,just matched the ends. i tested the lead with proper test equipment and it was perfect. when i connected it up, the device(hmi) gave an error. however when i changed it to the colour code i worked fine. this made me very curious. any help or theorys.THANKS

[sewelldirect]

@flashzanzi Yes, the reason CAT5 is considered a balanced signal type is because each pair has a transmit channel and a return channel. As long as they are twisted together they each cancel out the EM interference that electrical cables cause. If you don't wire the cable properly you may get two transmit channels twisted together or not have a transmit channel twisted with a return channel which creates much more EM interference than the cable can handle.

super informative! And great camera angles, some people learn better by actual seeing things get done and youve covered both! Great job and thankyou!

thanks man... you are a lifesaver!!!

thanks, hehehehe....

Thanks for all !

excellent vid thanks!!

[walshy69soldier]

will this work for hooking up an xbox 360 to a router, PLEASE HELP

[trevornealwaters]

@walshy69soldier

In case you have never found an answer to this, the answer is "Yes". if you are wanting to connect to the router strictly to get on the internet/xbox live then you wire both ends of the cable the same way (using the pattern in the video). if you want to make a cable for a system link (connecting the xboxes directly together instead of both going through the router for a link) you wire both ends opposite of each other (to make a crossover cable) and you are good to go.

[beerrunner81]

The guy that hooked my phone and Internet did an awful then. I just checked his work and he must have been a new guy. His work didn't look like that.

[graydonblair]

That was an awesome video!

[mylesputnam]

This really helped a lot, Thanks for the vid.

[RealGame22]

We did the same thing in school

[Devastationable]

thanx mate :)
