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

thanks mate worked perfectly

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.

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.

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

@BHtechnology did anyone ask?

Error, try again screw you youtube
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

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.
