That lan line telephone is old.. Just wait tell you call 911 on your cellphoje and voip and the emergency response is led to the house next door instead of yours. The "old" phone will get your location the instant you call
If I have a telephone jack in my room, and it has Cat 5E cable, could I just put in an Ethernet keystone and use it as an ethernet jack without interrupting the home phone lines?
Really good friendly video with great advise. Minor issue with the excess untwisted wires on the keystone and the connector. Interesting RJ-45 with the wire separator. Good Stuff. Thanks for the great video, I highly recommend it. Bryan McGann
"Here's how I set up my home wired network" "The house already had ethernet cables all over the place" "The end" What a pointless video. How are you supposed to do it if you don't already have wired ethernet in your house like 99% of all homes
Keystones were done poorly. You want to maintain the outer jacket as far up to the jack as possible to reduce long term strain. Also, each colored pair needs to maintain it's twisting as far up to the punch down points because the twists allow the lines magnetically cancel each other which reduced interference.
My home is set to be ready for move-in on 12/5, I ran 850ft of cat 6 and couple hundred feet of rg6 for cable tv before they put up the walls. Today my wallplates, keystones, tools, 24 port gigabit switch and cat 6 patch panel arrived. Gonna be fun punching every thing down and making it look nice-tight.
"In a perfect world we would use a punch down block..." No. No, you would not. You wouldn't let a punch down block anywhere near your gigabit network. In a perfect world you would punch them down into a patch panel, but not a punch down block. That's for telephone.
I have cat5e cables in my house for the phone, but I only have one wire coming into the house. but in some of the phone kestones have 2 or 3 cat5e cables. how do I go about changing them over for my network
James Kelly Phone uses one pair of cat5 usually blue and blue white and they are tied to the red and green line coming from the pole. In your house there should be a place where all the cables are. Normaly close to where the electric power comes through the house in the basement there should be a panel you can open up for access to cat5 and coax.
I appreciate how informative this is, I've been trying forever to get my ethernet port in my room to work and this just solved all my problems, thanks!
13:53 Ideally, the cable sheath should come right up to the back of the Keystone, and each pair should continue to twist together as far as possible. This is even more important, if not critical, when using Cat 6.
4:30 seems to be an indication about how much does he really know about networking. Using a switch is completely irrelevant to the termination of the cables (patch panel or direct RJ45 jacks). You can't choose not to use a switch. This is not analog... The termination in that socket is a disaster.
I've also done a few dozen of those keystone punch downs. I think B seems to be popular... not sure why! But when I was doing them for a company, we had about 4 of them per wall plate, and about 8 plates. I did them B, and was told B. I don't know why that seems to be the most popular. :/ Those are fun though!
Suj, not exactly brother. Boiler refers to a machine that actually boils water in a steam heat radiator system. No modern systems actually use a boiler, but the term is still used to describe machines that heat water for heating radiators. Hot water heaters are used specifically to heat water for use in sinks and showers, not radiators. As to your suggestion that that "is what a child would call it"; since real boilers rarely exist anymore and most of what people call "boilers" actually heat water rather than boil it ... maybe the child would be more correct.
I guess I am just a dumbass. I lost him 1 minute into the video. I am no tech savy person. So I will have it done by someone who knows what they are doing.
the hard part really is just wiring the plugs and you don't actually have to do a specific order like he did w/ the blue pairs and the orange pairs as long as you have the plugs wired identical on both sides it works it is kind of tedious tho...i once paid a guy a six pack to make cables for me cuz i just didn't wanna lol :D
My issue with the video is he didn't wire anything and also how much wire is exposed with the keystone. He also inserted wires 1-by-1 into the load bar whereas he could have done them all at the same time by clipping them in a straight line with the wires already in order. Along with so many other things lol. I do not recommend this video other than for sh*ts and giggles.
I am in a seriously rural place with ANCIENT NEGLECTED Phone poles and lines and no one to hire to rewire (ATT did do something upstairs and just left me a switch :l) TY. Guess it will be a DIY for me. :)))) (Btw...your son's approval of his smart dad was CUTE!!! :D).
Guys just want to give you additional info, a modular plug is also called an rj45 plug and the keystone is also called a cat 5/5e/6 (etc.)jack. When purchasing these componets please make sure you get the same specified as your cable or higher, so if you had a cat 5 ethernet cable get a cat 5 rj45 and cat 5 jack or higher than that which would be 5e or 6. If you get a lower rating such as cat 3 you will experience seriously slow data rate speeds if you have an 80mbps down/up speed because cat 3 only supports 10mbps.
hey bud QQ. what port do you have your modem on your switch? i see you have the 5 cables to switch then switch (grey cable) to router... the reason i ask is cuz i want to move my wireless router from upstairs to downstairs. everything is connected to patch pannel upstairs (wireless router, modem and switch).
I like to use the EZRJ45 plugs. As you get older I have to use my reading glasses plus on of those head mounted magnifier to make sure all the wires go into the plastic guides in the EZRJ45. After you make up both ends you have to get your little tester, plug the transmitter on one end and the receiver on the other and PRAY that all the lights flash in sequence. If they don't you have to re-do both ends. It's quite an experience.
Ridiculously over-engineered cable, plugs and sockets. A cable guide in an ethernet plug? Bloody hell, talk about making it stupidly complicated in a vein attempt to make it easy.
That's a pretty good setup. I have never seen a house built with Ethernet... At least in my state. Most of them come with phone cable and prewired coaxial cable. Feel free to check out my home network in my channel.
Category 5 cable can handle gigabit speeds. You should keep your pairs untwisted as much as possible when terminating. To be teaching how to terminate you should do it properly.
I flippin hate those stupid "Modular" connectors. they are a pain in the ass. You should of just got some good quality Cat6 RJ45 connectors. The eaisest to use are the ones that the wire goes clean trough it. IF you do get those make sure to get a crimper that cuts the wires at the same time as crimping.
Sorry, but your guide to terminating is a total fail. A proper scan of those drops would show you just how poor those connections are, it might work but it's not working as it should!
I say this because in my experience as an ISP tech, switch do fail quite often. For the price that you are going to pay for the one 8-port and the several other "mini switches", you could buy one 25 port and save yourself the headache. How many rooms and connections/ room do you need? How far apart is each run? What will you be running on each port? These are all questions that we would need answered to make sure you are not wasting your money.
Some good info here, but you will NOT terminate your cabeling to a 110block. That is used for voice infrastructure. You will want to terminate the wiring to a patch panel. Also when making your RJ45 ends you dont have to follow standard color scheme. You can terminate how ever you want just as long as it matches on both ends. I wouldnt use a magic marker on the jacks. I would use a label maker as it will look more professional.If you are going to run cable i would use PLENUM rated cable.
That's a pretty standard 4-port keystone coverplate. They sell ones similar to that at Home Depot and Lowes. The only thing that makes the one in the video special are the little recesses over the top and bottom screws, for inserting labels. Those are more common in commercial installations; ones without the label recesses are more common for residential use. Amazon and CablesToGo sell both, but I'd check local stores first.
In America, the houses are massive so this is needed. In Holland the houses are very small. A 3 bedroom combine is equivalent to a master bed room in America. So you are right, houses in holland just plug a cable and you have the internet. :-). This video is for super large houses as in America, Canada, and the rest of the world not for Dutchy's
110 is also used in patch paneling, i think you are confusing it with 66 block which most phone wiring is done on. He does have some good tips although his wall jacks are a bit sloppy (too much cable showing) but that is just me nit picking, its fine for residential, but i would chew anyone out doing that in a commercial setting ;)
small tip bro ... leav as less as posible of ur pairs untwist and just strip what you need , connect ur pair as close to ur mantel as posible 2 ...and srry 4 ma crapy english
Hi Thanks for sharing this video and suggestions, I want to add a 8 port Switch to my network what would be a good one with gigabit ready just incase I increase the speed later?. I was using the Linksys EZXS55W with my Linksys E3000 v.1 the one with the Blue antenna around it.
Question...what if the moronic installer terminated the cat5 cables in a box on the outside wall of the house. Can I use a patch panel to connect them in the box or do I need to use a PoE switch?
It depends on the switches throughput speed, rating, and quality. Switches nowadays are pretty good at not being a parasite. Older tech. like hubs can slow down a network...it all just depends on the age and quality of the system.
110 is an Electrician thing. I dont know any good cable vendor that would use 110 for a network. You are correct about his jacks and i would even chew people out for doing this work in any environment. He does have some good tips i will admit.
i have a wall box in my master bedroom with all these wires connected. but i still have only one active internet plug in the loft area,how can i make more than one outlet active,any guides or videos would be a big help
Cat 5e is actually certified to do gigabit Ethernet, you wont get the same throughput due to the cat6 cable having a crosstalk reducing devider. The only thing you can do with cat6 you cant with cat5e is 10gbE.
I've done exactly waht you said But I ran into an issue that You should cover! A single ethernet conection per room is not enough, so I added a switch to ea Rm & lost communication at each swtich! Non of them work! I found out I need a "Smart Swith" a "NETGEAR - ProSafe 8-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch" so that it assigns IP adresses to all switches that are to piggyback on It. I'm about to go purchase this swith but I would appreciate your input. I need to configuring it.
I have both a wired and wireless workgroup. I stream movies within the boundaries of my router. Im just wondering if that workgroup will stream it to my laptop when I go on vacation.( across the internet)
watched the video and found out i do have cat5 run throughout the house to phone jacks. the issue appears to be that the telephone box is on the opposite side of the house from where the cable guy brought the cable into the house. would it be simple enough to to make the phone jack by the modem the starting point or should i run a cable line to the where the phone lines come in?
Good vid, not great. Very informational, The kid should be locked up though, sorry. pet peeve, I dislike when Vidyas have pets or kids running into the shot. Its distracting. Also alittle beggy at the end, I do not mind asking for donations, but you can make it come off sounding much cooler :D Keep it up! ill keep liking them, if you keep making them!
Why tear up the wall to run new lines? Fish tape down from the attic or up from the basement/crawlspace...My house was build in early 1900's, so no preexisting network cabling...
can you plase tell me what kind of Switch you are using? I well be running cat6 cable in my home very soon But just want to know what kind of switch to buy Thanks for all your help
I'm confused about what you are asking...where are you streaming your movies from? Do you have a NAS or other computer that you stream from or is it all on your laptop?
good video but terrible patchwork in the kitchen, why do you have so much access unsheathed cable, you got to get it as tight as possible with no more than an inch exposed
Simple task well explained! However it's a bad idea to suggest pulling new cables with old ones as this only works in a North American Fabricaited house of Wood and substances. Not an Idea loosley considerd in Wales or other countrys in Europe.
Hmm i would put an huge lock on that out side door. Open the door an boom you have the internet plugs right their an huge no no . At lest move the box up
I use windows for the work group I wanted to use Linux to do so. Does Linux have something similar? My internet connection is not fast enough for a VPN.
First vid I've seen of this guy's. Was leaning back in my chair near the outro and seriously thought his kid was playing the guitar there at the end. Had to laugh at myself a bit lol. Great video
+ofacesig he's confused, probably skimmed over wikipedia instead of reading the article properly. cat 5 is not tested and rated at Gigabit, although will work at such speeds. Cat 5e is rated at Gigabit, and 10GbE under 30 meters. Cat 6 and Cat 6a will do 10GbE upto 100 meters.
Crosstalk crosstalk crosstalk!! That has got to be the worst wiring of a rj45 modular jack i have ever seen.. There shouldn't be any more than 13mm of wire untwist otherwise you'll be creating crosstalk between pairs.. And using cat6 over cat5 is a no brainer.. pairs in a cat6 cable are twisted tighter than pairs in a cat5 reducing crosstalk..
Well, I just deleted that angry rant about kids and their lack of respect for their elders, and how much worse it is getting ... So instead, I will congratulate the video author on his success and what appears to be a fine tutorial. Also, a lot of real world facilities (which most of you complaining pestilence will never set foot in with a toner) still use boilers - a word he earned the right to use synonymously, because of this very entertaining and informative video. You can also tell he is a great father :) He admitted the keystone job was sloppy. You nerds who have never done anything but computers are beginning to upset me. That being said, yeah ... one of the prominent books on Amazon ((kin to one that I had the author admit that he would revise the next edition (still waiting for my name in the forward)) does begin the OSI Model chapter relating layer one to the physical medium. It tells a personal experience where someone had to get into a crawl space to determine that cross talk was the culprit. Keep your twist close. I'm sure he did in the real world. Hmmm, the real world. The truth of the matter is, a good technician is a technician that has bravely and painstakingly learned from others FOR YEARS in such a way to culminate a broad spectrum of knowledge related to each subject where that technician has experience. YOU CANNOT LEARN THAT IN A BOOK OR ON THE INTERNET. Only by observation and direct communication does the fiber get laid. You kids working to be antisocial would do well to learn from that.
The router can be plugged on any cat5x network outlet and it should be good to go. Here's the order: cable modem --->router--->cat5x outlet-->terminated to the switch where all cat5x cables meet. That's it.
+TP 4UrbHol defuq is cat5x. As far as ethernet goes there's Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a. at least you know the order. modem, router, switch, patch panel, keystone wall plate, ethernet cable to device.
Now make a video of you at a buddy's house and install ethernet cables throughout the house that didnt previously have any installed behind their phone jack faceplates... like mine.
You should have used the Keystone Coupler ones from here www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-Network-Keystone-Coupler/dp/B00HFFHO7A saves trying to wire and they are CAT6 rated!!!
oh and this www.amazon.com/Female-Keystone-inline-Coupler-White/dp/B00BJP0LUE/ref=pd_sim_pc_11?ie=UTF8&refRID=0YVQJVJF1611J9YERYRP ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/610Vn8MX5BL._SL1100_.jpg using the RJ45 Female to Female UTP CAT6 Keystone inline Coupler saves me a LOT of extra work....
That lan line telephone is old.. Just wait tell you call 911 on your cellphoje and voip and the emergency response is led to the house next door instead of yours. The "old" phone will get your location the instant you call
The pacing back and fourth was annoying....could not watch.
If I have a telephone jack in my room, and it has Cat 5E cable, could I just put in an Ethernet keystone and use it as an ethernet jack without interrupting the home phone lines?
+New American Fishkeeper yes you can, as long as that cable on the other end is patched into a switch or router.
wait this old nerd... this old house i see what you did there
Really good friendly video with great advise. Minor issue with the excess untwisted wires on the keystone and the connector. Interesting RJ-45 with the wire separator. Good Stuff. Thanks for the great video, I highly recommend it.

"Here's how I set up my home wired network"
"The house already had ethernet cables all over the place"
"The end"
What a pointless video. How are you supposed to do it if you don't already have wired ethernet in your house like 99% of all homes
You could watch season 1 where I had to run cable everywhere
Keystones were done poorly. You want to maintain the outer jacket as far up to the jack as possible to reduce long term strain. Also, each colored pair needs to maintain it's twisting as far up to the punch down points because the twists allow the lines magnetically cancel each other which reduced interference.
My home is set to be ready for move-in on 12/5, I ran 850ft of cat 6 and couple hundred feet of rg6 for cable tv before they put up the walls. Today my wallplates, keystones, tools, 24 port gigabit switch and cat 6 patch panel arrived. Gonna be fun punching every thing down and making it look nice-tight.
Cat 6 is a bit overkill considering you're using a gbe switch. Cat 5E would have been more cost effective.
Thomas Sawden Thanks for the reply, I had the $$ to get cat6 so that's what I got, it's been installed since about October '14
+Thomas Sawden Cat 5e and Cat 6 cost the same.
Cat 6 can be used for 10GbE later if he upgrades the patch panel and switch.
Old video but I learned 1 valuable nugget of info. Thanks.
Wait, this guy is working at ***** now!
"In a perfect world we would use a punch down block..." No. No, you would not. You wouldn't let a punch down block anywhere near your gigabit network. In a perfect world you would punch them down into a patch panel, but not a punch down block. That's for telephone.

How would u add a coax cable? And what do u need? Im building a brand new house and electrician is charging 1000$ to add the internet connections
lol $1000 is nothing he's giving you a deal depending on how big your house is
your voice like linus

YES.
linus sebastian from linus tech tips
Badruz A you are right
No it doesnt
That kid will know how to set up networks when he's two. Thanks for the video. Awesome guitar, too.
Thanks for watching!

Hey that's cool but one question ,you started with phone line or cat5e ,did you cut and splice or did you run phone line Some other way thanks
small tip bro ... leav as less as posible of ur pairs untwist and just strip what you need , connect ur pair as close to ur mantel as posible 2 ...and srry 4 ma crapy english
Horrible job on wiring the keystone, it may work but the sheath should be as close as possible to the keystone to minimize interference.
Cool mate. You need a special babysitter though.
Hi Thanks for sharing this video and suggestions,
I want to add a 8 port Switch to my network what would be a good one with gigabit ready just incase I increase the speed later?. I was using the Linksys EZXS55W with my Linksys E3000 v.1 the one with the Blue antenna around it.
Why'd you leave so much slack in between the cable and the jack when you terminated it... That's a no no
Question...what if the moronic installer terminated the cat5 cables in a box on the outside wall of the house. Can I use a patch panel to connect them in the box or do I need to use a PoE switch?

good video but terrible patchwork in the kitchen, why do you have so much access unsheathed cable, you got to get it as tight as possible with no more than an inch exposed
Simple task well explained! However it's a bad idea to suggest pulling new cables with old ones as this only works in a North American Fabricaited house of Wood and substances. Not an Idea loosley considerd in Wales or other countrys in Europe.
Hmm i would put an huge lock on that out side door. Open the door an boom you have the internet plugs right their an huge no no . At lest move the box up
I use windows for the work group I wanted to use Linux to do so. Does Linux have something similar? My internet connection is not fast enough for a VPN.
The real lesson in this video isn't wiring Cat5, it's the Wife Acceptance Factor.
This is difficult in America... In Holland we just plug in the cable in the router and we are able to acces the internet right away
HaHa I seen The Beatles complete scores book, I have one too. You jam out on guitar?
Your entire network of 150 computers is bogged down .network monitor mentioned
great video and networking explanation! I'm going to check my Rj11 jacks to see if I too have Cat5e. Thanks man!
who physically pull the old copper wire out and replace with ethernet cable? everyone house is newer here.
Hello, Id Bet ya Bought The drill Only,, How close am I???? Been There,,done it! In a Stress Skin House I Built!!!!,,,,,,,,
i youse long noes plyers for holding the wires before i put them in rj45 plug
this vid looks like u r going to build something in ure house like a door or something wood
First vid I've seen of this guy's. Was leaning back in my chair near the outro and seriously thought his kid was playing the guitar there at the end. Had to laugh at myself a bit lol. Great video
You forgot to mention keep the pairs twisted as close to the punch down clips as possible.
what 100BaseT fast Ethernet uses two pairs of cat5 cable
Since when is cat5e not certified for Gbps?
+ofacesig he's confused, probably skimmed over wikipedia instead of reading the article properly.
cat 5 is not tested and rated at Gigabit, although will work at such speeds. Cat 5e is rated at Gigabit, and 10GbE under 30 meters. Cat 6 and Cat 6a will do 10GbE upto 100 meters.
its a hot water tank.. not a boiler... boilers are very different
Your quite knowledgeable in structured wiring and the terms used but yet you call the water heater a "boiler".
Paul Tiller he gives terrible info do not listen to him if you want a good network. A real networking guy would laugh at this job
This is very useful, but what about Powerline? Is it better?
Cool mate. You need a special babysitter though.
Looks like 'kid's acceptance rating' is very low.
My house has a lot of Ethernet Ports in the walls but idk if it works
awwh, I luv the kid!
How will the keystones make the network slower?? I don't understand that.
Hi. At 8:55, you said the red keystone is a input. Does it have to be wired differently so that it becomes an input?
straight through and crossovers
Do straight throughs go in the wall or the crossovers?
If you google
straight through and crossover cat6 should tell you what you need to know.

I feel like leaving a stupid comment, but i will not.
Ran out and pulled a plate off to check. I was so sad, no cat 5e☹
Crosstalk crosstalk crosstalk!! That has got to be the worst wiring of a rj45 modular jack i have ever seen.. There shouldn't be any more than 13mm of wire untwist otherwise you'll be creating crosstalk between pairs.. And using cat6 over cat5 is a no brainer.. pairs in a cat6 cable are twisted tighter than pairs in a cat5 reducing crosstalk..
Phil Allchurch: That guy really needs to take a BICSI course or something. I learned these basics at my local community college.
PHIL, where is your Video on TH-cam with OVER 700,000 VIEWS, right NO WHERE...So shut it..
fucking nerds man. Most can't just make a correction without making an ass of themselves. That's why I hate working with my IT coworkers.
Yes very true
Also cat6 has a Cross of plastic to seperate the pairs to reduce crosstalk.
Well, I just deleted that angry rant about kids and their lack of respect for their elders, and how much worse it is getting ...
So instead, I will congratulate the video author on his success and what appears to be a fine tutorial. Also, a lot of real world facilities (which most of you complaining pestilence will never set foot in with a toner) still use boilers - a word he earned the right to use synonymously, because of this very entertaining and informative video. You can also tell he is a great father :)
He admitted the keystone job was sloppy. You nerds who have never done anything but computers are beginning to upset me.
That being said, yeah ... one of the prominent books on Amazon ((kin to one that I had the author admit that he would revise the next edition (still waiting for my name in the forward)) does begin the OSI Model chapter relating layer one to the physical medium. It tells a personal experience where someone had to get into a crawl space to determine that cross talk was the culprit. Keep your twist close. I'm sure he did in the real world. Hmmm, the real world.
The truth of the matter is, a good technician is a technician that has bravely and painstakingly learned from others FOR YEARS in such a way to culminate a broad spectrum of knowledge related to each subject where that technician has experience. YOU CANNOT LEARN THAT IN A BOOK OR ON THE INTERNET. Only by observation and direct communication does the fiber get laid. You kids working to be antisocial would do well to learn from that.
Jonathan Annett Okay kid.
4:50 -- ahh, had to skip. I've done about 10,000 of RJ45's, and 1,000 optical fiber connectors. :P Good video though!
A chinese with a muslims name living in the US 🤯🤯🤯
Powerline Ethernet -- sucks. Tried it two years ago and blech.
Does weed take headaches away? I'm in a lot of pain
The router can be plugged on any cat5x network outlet and it should be good to go.
Here's the order: cable modem --->router--->cat5x outlet-->terminated to the switch where all cat5x cables meet. That's it.
+TP 4UrbHol defuq is cat5x.
As far as ethernet goes there's Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a.
at least you know the order. modem, router, switch, patch panel, keystone wall plate, ethernet cable to device.
Now make a video of you at a buddy's house and install ethernet cables throughout the house that didnt previously have any installed behind their phone jack faceplates... like mine.
You should have used the Keystone Coupler ones from here
www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-Network-Keystone-Coupler/dp/B00HFFHO7A
saves trying to wire and they are CAT6 rated!!!
oh and this

using the RJ45 Female to Female UTP CAT6 Keystone inline Coupler
saves me a LOT of extra work....
