I give you a run down on what tools you need, how to strip cable, how to wire the panel, how to punch down the panel.
This same process is used for Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6A cable. Remember to follow your color code. The same goes when your wiring your keystone jack.

Interesting how he is terminating with the cable on the outside of the 110. I have always installed the cable between the termination rows.

I would think it was obvious that he did it to show the process for the viewer. It would be difficult to show the viewer what was shown if he was terminating from the other direction. However, it might have been a good idea to specify that he was doing this for ease of teaching and that the cable was normally placed in the opposite direction.

As long as the cable is supported "zip tied" to the 110, should not matter really if its inside or outside. The point that needs to follow is bicsi standards that is, the twist needs to be less then a half a inch and punched down. 110 need to be redesigned to put the position number on the outside of the termination row. It is kind of hard to read when it is on the inside of the punch down rows.

@@LK-pc4sq its not that hard to tell, with order on inside, being they have it on every section and even if get to last point on panel then just look at the wiring of the rest

Inside is in fact the correct way.

A clear, no BS video. Thanks. Extra thanks for identifying the components you're using, like the type of blade on the punchdown tool.

@ptdatacom 6 жыл бұрын

Nice video. Most manufacturers recommend keeping your punchdown tool set to the LOW setting when punching down patch panels as damage can occur to the patch panel. Often people will set their tool on HIGH thinking it cuts the wire better. LOW works fine. If it doesn't, you probably have a dull blade and you need to change the tip.

I would not untwist the pairs before punching. Use the raised peak to wedge between each pair to keep the twists in-place up to the block to minimize cross-talk and signal loss -- this is critical for cat6(a) certification -- then untwist the pair on the cut side before punching down for a cleaner cut. Then you'll get a tight connection with minimal signal loss and a lower chance of needing to undo a patch due to a test failure.

is it better to place all of them first on the patch panel and then punch them down ?what happens if you punch them as you place them one by one?

@darrdarr3321 10 жыл бұрын

Why untwist the pairs more than needed at all? Maintain the color's twist rate (each color has a different number of twists per meter) right up until they enter the punch down slots. The certifier should give you better results that way.

@patricksmith4496 8 жыл бұрын

+Darr Darr indeed! never untwist more than you need to.

@assassinofoz 5 жыл бұрын

@First Last Usually a Fluke DSX cable analyzer that certifies the cable is terminated correctly and will perform at the given speed. It also measures near end cross talk and far end cross talk which is why untwisting the pairs is a bad idea.

I understand he was keeping the cable on the outside of the patch panel to show the color coding but the sheath to the cat 5 should be inside of the patch panel. Other than that, great video.

@bobbybarnes1652 3 жыл бұрын

CAT5e using 24 AWG cable, while CAT6 uses 23 AWG. Just means the CAT5e will be a tiny bit loose in a CAT6 patch pane and vice versa (although it should be OK). While you can get away with it, always use the correct panel & keystone when you can.

This might sound silly but how is the copper inside the wire conducting to patch panel. Usually in electric cabling we remove outer cover of a cable and expose the copper and connect the copper to the board. How does this work without you doing that. the tool just cut off the extra part right.

@niaz.shovon 7 жыл бұрын

Rakesh Kamath the tool not only cuts off the extra part, it also pushes down the wire between the metals. Which actually scratches off the insulation and makes contact with the metal.
