Im from india. Excellent genuine video bro.👌

just watched 5 10-15 minute videos on this and gained nothing. watched this 4 minute video and got my question answered. this man is the goat

Thank you for breaking this down. I have been going back and forth cat6 and cat6a for resting my house. Thank you for helping with the decision

I install infrastructure cabling and you were very clear and concise. I definitely couldn't have said it better myself. Also, when it gets close to 100 meters and the hardware I'm installing permits...like it has a fiber port or an SFP connection so I can install a fiber port, I recommend an upgrade to fiber. Thanks

Helps a lot. TY. My runs are 50ft or less so this made it easier to decide and sounds like cat6 is well within the spec.

Thank you. You just save me a bunch of added expense. I thought I needed Cat 6A. Glad to know I can get away with Cat 6.

Really hope you guys get the opportunity to grow this channel, great, genuine content!

Sweet. No BS. Answered Question with examples. No Bumbling, walk around the farmyard here. THANK YOU

Very true about putting the ends on. I was going to use cat6a and the more i read on it about terminating the ends it was not worth it. One mess up with the sheilding and its no good. Keep on making these videos they are very helpful. Thanks TYM

Very well said. Loved how you were clear about everything.. detailed and quick! Not everyone likes super long videos that don’t need to be long. Everything one knows about networking is never enough.. it’s always amazing to learn new things !! Thank you 🙏

How come you didn't mention crosstalk or EMI? Is it just so that it's simpler for that average consumer?

I choose cat6a for my home installation just because i wanted to future proof the installation which is a pain to wire, its about 40meters through wall and celling so now i dont have to mesh with it later on. I'm definitely ready for cloud gaming and 8k on multiple devices.

Subbed because of this video. So clear and incredibly helpful in my decision here.

This was VERY helpful. Thank you!

I am a retired fortune 50 Market Data engineer. All I did was networking and Application development for low latency trading with average budget of 50 mill per project. I am a hater when it comes to self taught people about networking, but this one video I cant hate on. I am wondering, were you trained on this, or just experience? Either way, not bad.

Very helpful, thanks I was worried if the selection of CAT6 for my new house was adequate.

Perfect! Thanks for the precise to the point explanation. New sub.

This is really helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for the info. The only question i have is there better brand cat6 than others. So many companies out there to choose from!!!

thanks for this video I will go with cat6 for 100ft.

Great video. Thanks for the info. Subscribed!

now that is hugely helpful

Finally, THE ANSWER ! Thank you :)

Great video, thanks!

hat if I'm getting 2 GBs or 5GBs from my Internet provider? Wouldn't 6 and 6e cap my speed at 1GB?

eh -- we have to go 300 feet back to our back fence for the security camera on POE -- the terminating issue is good to know about.

thanks just saved me thinking i should upgrade from cat6 to cat6a like this guy from work tried to convince me.

Sorry to ask what seems like a silly question. But just wanted to confirm... Is that 30-50m limit per Cat6 run (eg. router to device) or total runs around the house?

Everyone always talks about the speeds but I think good shielding is more important, especially if your doin in wall runs or next to electrical. Btw blue jeans cable tests every cat6a ethernet cable b4 it ships & sends the qc sheet with it. I haven't used them yet but might be alright if you just need a few short runs cause it's pricey. The shielded monoprice cables seem quite good as well.

Just a point of clarification here: Just because you have CAT6/6A cable runs does not mean that you will get 10Gb/s transfer speeds. You must have 10Gb/s capable switches and network interface cards on both ends to see that magical number. The big benefit of CAT6/6A is that they have a higher transfer frequency of 250Mhz (CAT6) and 500Mhz (CAT6A), when compared to the previous standard (CAT5e) of 100Mhz, this reduces attenuation and allows for a "cleaner" connection over the 100 meter distances which, in turn, will allow for higher transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s. As for the "pertain[ing] to 4K video distribution", which wasn't really discussed in the video, a 1Gb/s network is perfectly capable of handling multiple 4K streams at the same time. It all comes down to your network gear that you're running and your network topology. If you have a dinky home router with a built in switch (Linksys, Netgear, etc...) you might only be able to pull off a single 4K transfer before the network is bogged down because of subpar hardware not being able to handle that video stream and other requests. The device that's acting as the server for the media - Be it a standalone NAS, a la Synology or an actual server - will also be a factor into how many or how well it can stream a 4K video across the network. A low power NAS might be able to pull it off, but it'll be maxing out its processing power to do so. A server with beefier hardware will have no problems streaming a video and handling other storage tasks at the same time.

thank you

Stop editing your videos every 2 seconds of recorded fotage!

Thanks a lot!

Hi. Great vid. In your vid description you write; "...especially as it pertains to 4K video distribution." I don't think 4K was mentioned in the vid. Regardless, can you please confirm CAT6 is adequate for 4K video. As well, will CAT6 be adequate for the Devialet Phantom Gold wifi speakers? The speakers connect wireless to a Devialet product called the "Dialogue" and the Dialogue has to be wired to the router to complete a stereo pair of Phantoms. Your confirmation would be much appreciated. Thanks, Paul J.

What about the ends

thanks bro

Great info. Also - TYM drinking game. Watch this video and drink at every jump cut.

Thanks for watching our video! Let us know if you have any questions.

The problem with the wire industry is that most (if not all) the manufacturers are not held accountable for the standard that print on the packaging.

Can I use cat6a connector on cat5e?

ty man

3-4 category cables per TV... Any recommendations about bundling several cat6a together to tv? Should we expect any interference with u/ftp ?

If you have a run that is 120 feet do you just decrease the run below 100 feet and add a switch? Will this preserve the 10 GB bandwidth?

I was just going to send you a email about this 😂

what if termination is not that perfect ? im planning to upgrade my cat6 to cat6a because of environment issue and its too far like 285m and it has to be connected to 5 switches. plz help what to do

What the hell are they trying to terminate, SPF+ connectors?

Not sure you have enough cuts in your video, should add more :)

How about the Cat6e?

whats up with all the cutting? filming 5 sec at a time. So enoying to watch.

Several things i'd like too point out. For internet sharing anything over 1Gb/s is overkill. Most broadband isps (comcast, frontier, cox, centurylink, etc.) data plans top out at 1Gb/s. Simply upgrading the cabling wont turn your network into a 10Gb/s network. You also need a router which supports 10Gb/s. Most home network routers, even the ones advertised as gaming routers, don't support 10Gb/s e.g. ROG Rapture GT-AC5300, Netgear Nighthawk AX8 (RAX80), etc. These routers are built around Wifi and get marketed as such so the wired networking part of the router has been seriously neglected both in terms of technology and quality.

If you really want to be futureproof, put singlemode fiber everywhere.

Like the information except is (Silly) for your fried to say is hard to terminate practice makes perfect and having the right tools....

I went on Amazon the other day and they are selling cat7 and higher. !?!??

fk dude! you really need to equalise your speech volume with the music level of the outro. a big no no from someone who was listening to this on the headphones

Cat6 or cat6a better ?

Also the price of cat6a is still ridiculous along with ends and patch panels. Aren’t normally carried by electrical supply house. Also cat6a is extremely thick and you can’t run nearly as many wires though 1 hole compared to cat6. Your better off with fiber if u really need the distance. Or adding an IDF location

Please so down, no one is in rush.

TYM I have been trying to contact you via phone and email for 2 weeks with no luck. You guys still in business?

Hello Mat Salleh, you are speaking too fast even for a native English speaker to catch what you are saying. Take it easy bro and don't get too nervous when doing recording.
