- Hi, this 'How To' video shows in depth how to connect up a cat6 network faceplate socket using the T568B wiring standard and how to wire up a CAT6 RJ45 plug using solid core cable. You CANNOT use STRANDED core cable in faceplate sockets, you have to use SOLID core cable.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Many thanks Vince

Thanks for these videos. They have been a massive help.
I just installed my first network face plate today, next to my bed for the laptop, and the other side is terminated with a plug into a switch next to the server.
Now I want to do the whole house!
Thank you. Still quite helpful after 3 years👍👍
Great video! Very detailed and straightforward. Thank you!
Thanks loads just learnt how to crimp cat6 and faceplates in 1 go!
Thanks a lot Vince, Used your videos to install all the network infrastructure in my home. Really helpful videos!
Alan Sabu Mathew That's great. Thank you.
good video, i've watch a few now and they're very clear and easy to follow. good job
Thank you for making this video! You made this topic simple and easy to understand.
This is a great video, Vince - thanks so much for creating it. I ran Cat 6 cable throughout our house when we renovated it, so we've had the loose wire hanging out of the walls for 6 years now. I was actually about to hire someone to come and connect the cables to the faceplate sockets and end plugs, but I reckon I can do this myself after watching your video. I have just ordered the necessary items from your eBay shop :)
Thanks Ged, hopefully you will manage it fine. Once you practise a dozen times you will get the hang of it. Remember to only commit to crimping the plug once you are completely happy that the colour code is correct and the wires are all pushed up to the very end of the plugs. I will pack up these items now for you. Cheers for the order.
Vince
thanks mr telephone :-) very useful video
Very nice video. Helped me a lot. Thanks
Bro It help me today the way i cant explain thank you very much
excellent video, flow and clarity of information is amazing.
Thanks for the helpful video.
thanks vince used this guide and it worked first time. Recently found your channel and have binged watched them all. Im like you though, I think the mechanical stuff is more interesting although my favourate is the electric keyborard one.
Very useful. Thank you!
awesome demonstration sir i liked it very much
very helpful ...thanks!
Good explanation. Thank you. Can we replace the cable by another one on the wall socket? I want to change a cat 5 cable with a cat 7 on a cat 6a wall socket (deleycon).
very helpful video. many thanks
Brilliant video. Thanks
Watched several of your videos and I find them very informative. I'm in the process of extending my house and am trying to put in a Cat 6 network. I've bought some Kenable 23 AWG solid Cat 6 cable which I'm running from numerous locations around the house back to a central location. Once all the cables are in I'm looking to test them before plaster boarding etc I'm looking to have 2 cables coming from a central location to each room and like the idea of putting twin face plates on both cables in the room & at the central location. As I understand it I can then use patch leads from my router to connect 1 end and patch leads the other end to devices. So I have a couple of what are probably really basic questions 1) Do all patch leads need to be CAT 6. 2) If I use the face plates when testing the system out and then want to move them can I disconnect them and re-use them or are they a one time only item.
Hi Vince, if only I'd since this before buying flat Cat6a stranded core cable for installation in my extension - aiming to wire up to wall faceplate sockets! Given the cable's now hidden behind painted skirting boards, could you suggest how I can adapt the cable ends (introduce solid core adaptors) to utilise my expensive, brushed steel faceplates?
Hi, please could you explain the reason for not running the CAT6 near the power cable? Does this also apply to the alarm cable?
Hi Vince, how can you tell if a wall socket is Cat 6 or Cat 5e?
Hello Vince Sir, Do you have a video showing connections of cat6 network faceplate to faceplate in series for multiple points.
great vid thanks. I have a quick question - does this all apply to cat 7? Can i just use cat6 faceplates when using cat 7 cable? (I got cat7 installed during a house rewire). Thanks, Adam
Excellent!
Is cat7 cable compatible with cat6 socket outlets ?
Please could you advise
Can a CAT6 cable be used on a CAT5e grid module within the faceplate? Or do I need to replace the faceplates with CAT 6 ones? At the moment I'm capped at 100mbs because the CAT5E cables in the walls need replacing with CAT6. Wondering if I need to replace all the grid modules in the faceplates too.
Hi ! my patch lead is white orange / orange on first two pins and white green on third pin and green on pin 6 . Do I have to wire the Rj45 Connector and CAT 6 Cable the same as patch lead . thanks
Hi I bought some cat 6 cable to run around my house for the computer, Xbox and so on but turned out to be CAT 6 FTP CABLE which I think means it’s shielded cable. I wanted to use faceplates like you done in this video, do I need to buy special faceplates for this cable and can I use this cable??? Or should I buy some different cable??? Also can I use normal connectors with this cable??thanks jay

I now know what one of the tools in my kit is for 😁.
Purchased kit to wire a few cables but nothing else but now looking to replace some sockets our electrician has just put in as he's used some base ones limiting our fibre to 100Mpbs.
Can I ask, are these sockets wired differently to the cable ends as the cables have the blue wire where you put the green one (and vice versa)?
Many thanks, and great video👍🏼
Hi Vince, do you think soldering the wires to the keystone jack would work? I ask because I stupidly laid my wires under my floor and into the walls and have just learned that I’ve bought stranded cable so the punch down tool isn’t creating connections (I’ve tried and so has an electrician) 🤦🏽♂️
Can you connect CAT7 cable to CAT6 modular and stick it to the CAT6 faceplate?
Their colors are pretty much the same... brown, orange, green, and blue with their respective whites...
I'm thinking of doing this because CAT7 faceplate is non-existent where I live...
Hi Vince..Cheers for the demo..looks pretty straight forward. Im doing this from my house to my shed. What's the best way to get wifi over to the shed once im wired? Im trying to avoid using another router with another password.. Will a wifi access point do the job?..and can i connect it via patch lead from my new socket or does it have to be hard wired?
Great video Vince. But is it possible to terminate a cat6 cable on a cat5e faceplate? Keep in mind my network speed from the ISP is only 10 Mbps. Thanks.
Guys i have orange , blue, brown and green solid wires and they have beside them a solid white also each??? where do i wire the solid whites too please ?? on my socket i have corresponding solids but also half colored and half white??
If faceplate plug or female connector is unmarked, is there a way to know if it's cat 5 o cat 6 capable? Thanks.
HI, the is just what I've been looking for, thank you, great video. I want to run a ethernet cable from my router in my house all the way up to my summerhouse. The cable will be in conduit in a trench. The run of cable will 100 to 150m long. What sort of cable do I need for underground and also I've read that cable over 100m tends to lose its "efficiency", if that's the right word. Can you advise please and many thanks.
aaah so faceplate is that simple ,thanks man
Thanks for the video!
Is your eBay shop gone now? I tried to find it through the link on your website but it comes up with a page saying that the shop does not exist...
Are you still doing the kits? They seem to be hard to find on ebay. Thanks
I accidentally got a Cat 6A socket to use with my Cat 6 cable. Is that going to cause a problem or should I go ahead and connect them up?
Maybe a silly question, but can you plug a cat 5e cable into a cat six socket ?
Hi, do you have a link to your eBay site for the better tool for using the 1 gang socket to push the wires into the groves ? brill video thanks
hi vince.
ive got the VSDL face plate and i have a few questions.
im going to run rj45(vdsl to the rj45 in the sky fibre hub).
what im thinking of is running an ethernet extension up stairs into the back room.
would i be correct in doing a wired box to box!
if so.how do i wire the hub to the box next to the hub..
regards
ant
+Ant Smith Hi Ant, I am not sure if I have read the question correctly, but the Ethernet cable goes from the Sky router (the spare ports at the back of the router) to the backroom upstairs. You can terminate the Ethernet cable either onto wall sockets and use short patch leads or just run a very long Ethernet patch cable. If you want to run a new cable from your VDSL faceplate/ wall socket to the sky router then this will need to be either RJ11 to RJ11 lead or a RJ45 to RJ11 lead.Hope that is what you were asking.Thanks Vince
im wiring for ADSL at my house, some people suggested i use the CAT6's Blue/white and Orange/white in a RJ11 for the telephone wiring instead of the obsolete green red black yellow wires, then use a central filter run a cat6 from that to the modem and then again a standard telephone wire for the phone....could this be the best setup to do? Will this provide me with the best SNR? I live in Lebanon things are very dated here. Will this lower any ping too??
Hussein Bazzi Hi, yes this sounds like a good setup and should help with SNR. Thanks Vince
Did you make the video you mentioned at 5:00? That’s the video I need so hopefully so
Can you use the socket more than once?
hi do you still sell the kits?
Nice
Dude I carnt find your shop on eBay and I won’t one off your best leads for my bt router ??
Hi Vice, thanks for the great video, I have quest about the faceplate.
What is the difference between a Cat5e and Cat6 faceplate? C
Can I use Cat6 cable and connect it to a Cat5e Plate?
Thank You
+David Mak Hi, yes you can, the IDC terminals allow certain range of diameters which the cat5e and cat6 cable fall into. Cat6 is rated at higher speeds so if you want a cat6 network then fit cat6 faceplates.Thanks Vince
Hey mate, I have a Ethernet cable running from my router, through the wall to my room and I’ve cut the plug off in my room for a wall socket. And I’ve tried running a dual wall socket with the one line going through both sockets. But if I plug my pc and Xbox in at the same time neither work. But if I just have one plugged in it works. Can you just not do it or is there a fix?
You have one line going through two devices (I believe signalling it as 1 device), which means neither gets it's own IP address. The router thinks its 1 connection, not two seperate ones.
I prefer a switch in a closet behind the room where the router is. Easily scale number of cables, keep single plates (cleaner imo) and possibly add a NAS to that closet right by the switch!
What’s a NAS?
Network storage device
I have Cat6 S/FTP cable, what do I do with the foil and metal wire that I strip back when connecting to this style of socket? Just some electrical tape around it?
Leon Cope - what did you end up doing with the earth / drain wire ..... looking for advice on the internet and getting nowhere! Thanks
@@kevingreenaway268 I just pulled it back over the cable and sealed it with electrical tape. I haven't had any issues at all yet and the cable maxes out / negotiates fine!
@@le0_b Thanks very much Leon ..... I was kind of wishing I'd just gone with Cat5 from the start! much appreciated.
This may be a stupid question but can i use a CAT 6 face plate like this one with CAT 5e cables running to it? Is it backward compatible or do they have to be CAT 6 cables as i have a mixture of both. Any help would be much appreciated.
Great videos by the way i have been watching and learning whilst renovating my home. Cheers!
Hi, yes you can mix them up but the speed will only be as high as the lowest rated component, so in your case cat5e.
Thanks.
hello Sir, If we use Termination A in Socket, then what cable colour will come on other side for Rj45 Jack ?
If you use the A configuration then the RJ45 plug will start with the green pair of wires (white/green on pin 1) and if you use the B configuration then it will start with the orange pair of wires.
Sir Thank you for your Reply...
White Orange / Orange - White Green / Blue - White Blue / Green - White Brown / Brown
Sir now i know if we use Termination B we will use Colour Coding in RJ 45 Jack.... but How you are Telling Coding for Termination B >> (white/green on pin 1)

How to install the cat 6 flat wire to wall as I have reveal the wire they don't have mix wire like white green
Can you please help
I bought cat 6 flat wire not round one thats I found a bit hard as as when I check the wire flat wire has 4 white color
What's Vince's eBay shop? Anyone got a link? When I try to go via his website it doesn't work. Thanks.
Hi Vince
I've just attempted a trial connection of a Schneider RJ45 data socket on one end of a solid core cable and a two-part RJ45 CAT6 plug on the other end (using proper pucnh-down tool and crimpers).
This was all connected to my el-cheapo network cable tester and nada, nothing, nowt! :(
Not one LED lit up.
Now, I notice in your video, that you say CAT6 plugs need to be used with CAT6 cable, but are CAT6 plugs backwards compatible with CAT5E solid-core cable?
I only ask as I bought what I thought was Excel CAT6 solid-core cable, only to realise it was actually CAT5E on arrival (depite searching for CAT6).:(
I know the tester works fine, so the problem either lies with cable/plug category compatibility, bad termination at faceplate or plug or incorrect plugs (suitable for stranded cable only?).
Any ideas?
UPDATE
After watching your video again, I learned that not all data sockets are equal. I originally thought the Schneider data sockets I installed were universal (CAT5E/CAT6).
However, on checking, I discovered that they are in fact CAT5E (you learn something every day).
Fortunately, the 'Schneider Ultimate' faceplates have a replaceable module, which I believe is referred to as a 'Keystone Jack'.
Anyhow, CAT6 versions of these are available for between £1.30 - £6.00 (Amazon) and it looks like they are a standard fitment so any module should fit my existing faceplate.
In case your wondering why I don't just obtain a new CAT6 faceplate, well all the sockets, switches etc in my house are from the "Schneider Ultimate" flat range and I like to keep everything the same (OCD alert).
Another great video btw
***** Hi, sorry I have been away.....Did you get it sorted out? Although Cat6 and Cat5e plugs/sockets are slightly different, it should still work. Maybe it didn't crimp properly.
My Mate VINCE Hope you had a great time. Glad to be back? LOL
Well, I had a total rethink and ordered Excel CAT6 solid core cable. In fact, I'm waiting for a second 20m roll to arrive after deciding to run CAT6 to another two rooms. What I did find that your viewers might find useful is that you can get Lindy CAT6 keystone jacks for £2.99 (on Lindy UK website) to replace the CAT5e jacks in compatible data faceplates.
I actually made the mistake of thinking I needed to upgrade my GET/Schneider Ultimate faceplate to Euro faceplate + CAT6 & BT Slave (to replace existing grid modules) at a cost of £27 (inc shipping). Stoopidly, I hadn't checked my existing GET/Schneider Ultimate module, thinking it was a proprietary item, only to discover that it was in fact a regular keystone jack clipped into the module which cost under £3.00 and which just clips into the rear of the module. Needless to say the ones I purchased are being returned for a refund.
CAT6 Punchdown Keystone (Blue) - £2.99 (goo.gl/rOlv7a)
CAT6 Tool Less Keystone Jack (White) - £2.74 (goo.gl/LUHLgB)
***** Hi, yes I enjoyed the break thanks!!!!!Yes, most of the modules are interchangeable as long as you get the correct type, from memory there are 3 main types:1. Keystone Jacks, clip in from behind and the dust shutter is fitted to the faceplate.2. Euro modules 50mmx25mm (the most common)3. LJ6C modules 38mm x 25mm (the least common)the only problem that you sometimes have when you switch between brands is they may not fit flush with the faceplate so sometimes the module may stand proud a few mm.You just gave me another idea for another video, I could do one on the different modules!!!!!!!!!!!!!Vince
My Mate VINCE A video on keystone jacks would be a good idea.
I never even knew of these keystone jacks until recently.
IMHO, with the increasing number of streaming mediums now available (Netflix, Prime, iPlayer to name but three), more people will want to get the max possible performance from their network and upgrading to CAT6 (including data sockets) may be the way to go for some people.. So knowing they only have to change the keystone jack as opposed to the grid module or entire faceplate will make things easier and less expensive for a lot of people.
For instance, I had a 1G/2-module 'Schneider Ultimate Grid Moulded' faceplate which had Cat5e module and BT socket module and because Schneider apparently don't do a CAT6 module for the 'Ultimate Grid Moulded' range, I ended up ordering a Schneider Euro 1G/2-module faceplate plus CAT6 Euro module and BT socket Euro module for the princely sum of around 23.00 + shipping.
Like I said earlier, the Lindy keystone jack cost less than £3.00 + delivery, so that's a hell of a saving IMHO. Especially if running ethernet to all rooms in a house.
As for the 'Schneider Ultimate Moulded' regular data socket (non-grid version), these also accept the same keystone jacks.

I don't get how you know what colour combination you use to connect two cat6 sockets together. I have kenable External CAT6 Outdoor Use COPPER Ethernet Network Cable Reel UTP 50m to wire into two cat 6 plugs but no idea how to find out how you know what the colour order is. I tried orange white /orange/ blue /white blue /white green /green/white brown /brown
If you are putting them into a RJ45 plug then it is White/Orange, Orange, White/Green, Blue, W/Blue, Green, W/Brown, Brown
My Mate VINCE thanks for that, that explains my cables I tried to make. What about a cat6 plug sockets to plug cables into. Would they follow the same colour coding either end i.e socket to socket? I thought the colours were white orange, orange, blue, white blue, white green, green, white brown, brown guess that's where I was going wrong

This might be a dumb question but, if my internet provider is using cat5e running from the street to my house, would running a cat6 network be pointless? Is that even how it works?
No, it is not pointless because the internal Ethernet network whether cat5e or cat6 is independent of the network outside in the street. So your internal equipment can communicate with each other using cat6 speeds regardless of the incoming wire.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I would go from my router, to an ethernet switch box, to a patch panel, to a wall terminal, and then run solid-core cables through the walls to each room's wall terminals?
If that's the case, what's the point of the patch panel? Couldn't I just run cables straight from the ethernet switch box to the cables in the wall?
You only need a patch panel if you have loads of cables. You can just run long patch leads from the router to the PCs/TVs/Laptops etc. If you are running more than 4 cables then you would need a network switch. If you want a neater job then use solid core cable and install wall sockets back to the router and use a patch panel or mini patch panel or even quad plate sockets by your router or network switch and then use short patch leads to connect everything up.
But why the hell does they still not work sometimes? I might do all right, colors are correct, it seems like they are all at the end of the plug. But still dont work. I even test them with the same tester you have, and all lights are working. And it still dont work! Drives me crazy!
I have now installed 2 wall sockets. And of course something went wrong. Tried 4 times on each..... Crap on a plater...
no point using cat6 end that splits if using a cheap ebay mod, where the terminations end up messy. cat6 is total overkill for domestic consumer, cat5e perfect for gigabit backbone.
That little plastic bit is annoying in cat 6
