Leave me a comment if you learned something today?

This video was shot as a favor for a friend who needed to know how it was done, it's become well received on you tube!

I'm not selling anything, just passing on the knack of how to make these cables. I am a networking engineer with nearly 20 years experience in the industry.

  • Great vid, thanks a lot. I'm using a Platinum Tools Cat5 cable stripper, Draper Expert ratchet Cat5 crimping tool and Draper wire cutters. I hadn't realised about the 0.5m minimum length until too late but my short cable still seems to work (useful having the same tester too.. I tested before the end of vid and was worrying about the 'G' light not being lit!).

  • The brown and brown/white stay twisted then?

  • классное видео! хоть и на англ , но все понятно, вот это я понимаю американец сделал видак , не то что наши, с всякой тупой лишней пиздежью! спс за видео)

  • Absolutely fantastic!!  Thanks so much :)

  • @dannyabq1 The main difference is the amount of twist in the pairs per inch. Twists reduce crosstalk between pairs.

  • @wesman6960 this is B.

  • is cross cable or patch cord ?

  • does anyone know what standard this is? ex T568-A or T568-B (basically the order in which you insert the wires)
