  • You will need a switch that will expand your network capabilities. You would run one cable from the router to the switch and then you would have connections through all the other ports on the switch. Can you elaborate on your second question?

  • Can u put two cat5e wires in one keystone jack from a loop after cutting the loop

  • Thank you guys so much. Quick efficient tutorial on how to do cat5 networking keystones. There should be more people like you out there...

  • Leviton

  • @cky2250 it actually does matter if you intend to run a gigabit network.

  • Nice vide, but....

    You forgot to use the pull-cord to open the pvc jacket even further, which is required for proper installations, since by using the cable stripper the cables might be cut even if you don't see it at first.

  • thanks, im a school network admin, and i couldnt explain to the board how this would work. thank you!!

  • hëh_î_fêël_sÔ_lÕÑèly_toÐÅý

  • Thank you Thank you thank you....the instructions with with Leviton jack i bought didn't nearly explain the wiring ...but you did very well. much appreciated..works like a charm.

  • For all you saying don't untwist, yes that's correct. However if you watched the whole video he pulls the individual wires all the way through so that when he punches it down, there is only maybe a cm or so to the point where they're twisted again. He untwisted them for convenience.

  • @midspan28 You can untwist 1/2 an inch. What you want is to untwist the minimum amount, but you must untwist a little bit to get the keystone jack on.
