Connect Cat6 cable to jack

easy procedure to punch the Category 6 network cable on to a Jack. If you are installing an Ethernet network in an office or home, you will need to "terminate" each network wire at the user end with a Category 6 network jack.
Tools needed:
- Snips (Electrician's Scissors)
- 110 punch down tool
Steps:
1. score the Cable jacket to create a perforation
2. Break-off the portion of the cable jacket to expose wires inside.
3. use snips (scissors) to make a small notch in the cable jack.
4. pull back the rip cord to remove more jacket.
5. cut off excess cable jacket
6. untwist individual wires (sets of colored wires)
7. push the pairs of wires into groove according to the key map (Blue, Orange, Green, Brown).
8. Choose either A or B style for wire termination (if in doubt, choose B)
9. Use either the plastic insert tool or a Punch-down tool to fully insert the wires into the metal teeth within the jack.
10. removes excess wires.
11. install dust caps on jack.

The problem I had when doing this project, was the cable wiring case was too thick pushing the wires onto the notch and it did not penetrate the wire. I splice a thinner wire further back to the thick wire and used the thinner wire into the notch. The category 6 network jack work great. Also, found this when working on digital phone lines, no dial tone due to no penetrate the wire to the notch. You must make sure the wire is penetrated the notch on the jack. This will save headache and frustration when the system did not work, when wiring is correct. Veteran Spoken 1st amendment rights.

I think if you are asking: how should I wire if I am feeding other parts of my home with internet from the router? The answer would be standard Ethernet wiring (as I shown in my videos). 568A or 568B. In Ethernet networking their is no longer a need to worry about router vs. switch vs. host. Both ends of the cable would be wired the same. All the ports auto-sense these days. Hope that helps. 😊

@EngineerCatPyro 3 жыл бұрын

Bedir the colors of the wires are meaningless unless fully terminated in a keystone jack. Orange, blue, green and brown pairs can be used but if only using 1 pair for a telephone any of those colors of wires should terminate to the blue and blue/white which is also known as spots 4 & 5. If you look at the RJ11 telephone cable you will see that the pair of wires come out directly in the middle of the jack. That is known as Tip and Ring (for analog phones) or numbers 4 & 5 on any keystone jack. You can terminate any of those colors to 4 & 5 on both ends of the cable runs and the connection will reach the other end.

Also need a patch panel. I haven't done the home networking job for a long time so I had all cat5e stuff. But you cannot use a cat5e keystone jack with cat6 cable. That is from what I have read and understood. Can tell you been doing this a long time. What keystone jacks, What cable end thingy's, and what patch panel. Just need the brands. Thanks!

@EngineerCatPyro 3 жыл бұрын

You can use cat5e keystone with cat6 cable... BUT why would you? if the cat6 is rated up to 600 MHz but the cat5e keystone rates at 350MHz, 350MHz would be the max it could run. SO your not using the full capability of the cable. Would this make a huge difference on your home network? No. But if installed in a larger environment it would not perform well. My suggestion is Monoprice which is the keystone he is showing in this video. I have installed strictly their components for the past 8 years doing somewhere around 5000 drops. I work for a managed IT company doing network infrastructure setups for our medial clients. I've wired at least 15 offices completely from patch panel to keystone drops and have next to no issues still to this day with those components installed. If there's an issue usually it's because of an end users feet. Don't let he lower brand name or cheap price fool you. They have to follow the same standards that Hubbel, Panduit, Leviton etc have to follow for a 10th of the cost. If you need more help, just reply.

Cat-6 is quite heavier and has that middle plastic divider/insert. More of a pain than Cat-5.

It also doesn't work well with BIX strips. Speaking from experience.

First timer here: So I rigged up my key stone jack /RJ45 connectors to get a successful connection but only receiving 10% of the speed compared to before... Any idea why that could be? I redid each end a couple times after finding an error in my wiring and finally got a signal pushing, just isn't quite as strong for some reason

Hmmm, even a mediocre cat6 cable and keystone jacks should support 1gig with no problem. Without knowing the specifics it’s tough to make a recommendation. The cable and jacks are all rated Category 6? The cable doesn’t have any sharp bends or hard twists?

@@NetworkAdvisor So upon further investigation, the cable ran in the apartment is only a Cat5 which would explain the limited bandwidth of ~100mbps. Guess running a Cat6 from the closet to the living room is the better option if I get 10x the speed lol. Thanks for your help!!
