I can’t thank you enough for the second fix. I had a 50m+ outdoor cat 6 cable running to my outdoor office and the cable snapped. I managed to apply the second fix and now the internet is back. No latency issues at all
My Goodness! I'm over the moon that your instructions worked the first try. I was expecting glitches if it did work but the connection is clean and smooth. Thank you very much, Caramba Hacks! You've saved me valuable time and money.
This video is so helpful! It's the perfect example of everything you shouldn't do with network (or any other type of) cable, and shows why, if you don't have the tools or know how, to get someone who does to do it.
Agreed! The cable slice at 4:00 is the perfect way to take a 10M cable and turn it into a telco wire! WTF was that mess? I was trying to find a video that shows how cable (zip) ties if pulled too hard will cause issues at higher transmission rates, but then I found a guy who is "splicing" a LAN cable with some form of a Western Union splice (which was not done correctly. ) How do I explain to students that the LAN cable is important to can cause issues when some clown puts this up on TH-cam. Unless I missed that the professor is hurt and Gilligan is trying to impress Mary Ann, that would explain everything.
OmG....I wish, I found this yesterday.. I really needed this video. I had to run all new cable and cost me $80. Crap - I could of fixed for "FREE" !!! This video will be burned in my head for-ever !! Thank you !!!
@@cyyborgg You can't join an ethernet cable like it was an electric cable, ethernet protocol at speeds 100 mbps or 1000mbs is very sensible to changes on the twisting, to changes on conductivity etc... it works at very high frequency. The video solution might work at a times, but not at other times. Your best way would be replace whole cable, if that's not an option, attach a female onnector on one end, and a male connector on the other end and connect it.
@@lualalanaufahu9384 Speed was okay but it stopped working after 2 months and I had to cut it shorter and redo it. It is just a temporary solution but if there's no other way it at least works.
Wow! Thanks for the vid, specially the 2nd part. Our dog bite & cut my Internet cable and you saved my job from home during this pandemic. Big thanks from 2020!!! 😁👍
WOW... what a concidence... my internect doesn't really work because my spaniel dog bit the cable, and he literally also bit my charger for my apple mac...
Just did it and it worked!(the second tutorial) Thanks a lot!! It took a while and it wasn't as clean-looking as yours but it works just as good. A tip for any fellow attempting it, avoid my mistake and instead try to cut equal lengths on each side. It will be easier when you are twisting the cables together.
Thanks a lot! I made a mistake in the beginning, assuming that always similar colors belong next to each other. I can recommend anyone having trouble really checking the right order!
literally thank you my dog ATE my cable that goes into my wall from the outside. I’m over here freaking out about getting a repairman because my mom works from home so no internet is BAD
Thank you so much, my cabel broke and I worried I would have to buy a new one, but thanks to you I was able to fix it. I'm really glad that I found your guide.
first i want to say thanks bro tanks so much and may GOD bless you man,like i fixed the cable and its now working on using the second tutorial thanks man
Each pair of wires are twisted internally (called twisted pair) so that data can transfer with minimal interference. The explanation in the second part of the video MAY cause slower connection speed. This probably won't matter for most people (because you don't get close to the maximum transfer speeds normally), but for some it will matter greatly.
@@afnanqureshi803 yes.. 1 tip apply part 1 , 2 tip need a rj 45 female box.. for each join your signal attenuates, but it works ..the part 2 Is a disaster!
i thought you were going to re-use the terminal, you proved your point. 2nd pt *that's a nice little trick* i've used twist caps when combining 3 cables, didn't have a RJ45 Splitter plus was doing it on my own home and not a whole network. got internet excellent connection working. if data has been affected no one has noticed. all our devices are hard wired now, our wireless signal working beautifully
When splicing a cable together, it is best to use a keystone and an rj45. Twisting bare copper together will cause latency loss which will effect network speeds. Electricians do this all the time and I have to follow behind and fix them. All in all, if your home run gets chewed in the center. Just buy a new pre-terminated cat5/6 cable or buy cat5/6 cable and terminate it yourself. Youll thank me later when your loading issues on your favorite streaming service work properly.
Used the second part of the video but with tiny heat shrink tubing over each twisted pair and then a karger sleeve of heat shrink over the lot. Worked like a charm, I needed to make a custom cable for a telescope controller, so the pairs were specific to that application.
Very good, my puppis have cut my workstation internet cable thst cut my working computer out of the net (45ft distance and no Wifi on the computer, you saved my day man!
Great also to use the second tip to create a longer cable out of two cables. Who doesn't have a bunch of cables that are just a little bit to short to be useful. Then you can use the cut-off to repair a cable where the clip is damaged.
I just used ordinary scotch tape hehehe cuz we ran out of electrical tape. Did the same procedure as shown on the second method, everything worked perfectly. Thanks!
very nice video, thank you for sharing us! I skipped the first part of the video as i didn't have a new connector. So my cable was broken by the connector, and i had an old cable with a right connector.. I cut off, and link just like in the video. Works like a charm! :D
Problem 2 is me. I didn't think about bending the wires back and taping around the cords. I've spliced and put ethernet cords back together but it didn't look nowhere near this neat. Clearly wasn't thinking outside the box. Thanks for the video.
There are special joiners for the 2nd part of the video. I was kinda worried how he was bending the wires and taping them up. The bends can add noise to your signal, not to forget you're compromising the integrity of the cable connection itself. When you bend metals like that, they're prone to snapping/breaking if done too much or repeatedly bent. As well as the fact they are no longer twisted pairs. Honestly, I believe just capping the ends and add a coupler to bridge the cables is far more efficient than doing a manual splice like that. Less errors may occur, and reduce the risk of degradation; at least a lot more with a basic coupler vs manual joining with tape.
I agree....as a network professional, this video made me cringe. I'll admit that the "repair" will most likely work in the short term but given the types of environments where that damage would normally occur, this is just not a good permanent solution.
@@dciii5847 We twist ethernet copper cables all the time, like in this video. No problems for many many years. Cable Cat5E, length 50-100 meters, reaching 1gbps without a problem. No latency drops. Telephones, television and all sorts of equipment works without a problem 10+ years.
Hey I just cut a cat5 cable,your vid save the day!!! I thought I had to wait for cable company to come n fix it plus charge me for cut it🤪 I was doing some lite demo next to it,just did what you did.thanks man!!!
Nop. It worked fine but I haven't use any data signal measurable device. I think there will be lag in transferable of big data though it is negligible in small data transfer
Zunel Mhrz personally, i would have used a keystone jack and a straight through cable with male ends to fix the fraying in the middle. Keystone jacks and RJ-45 terminators are not expensive
marax another way to do it is to cut the cable, re-terminate two RJ-45 connectors for each end and then use a female coupler in between. The best way is to use the frayed cable as a pull string, pull a new cable to replace that run.
I did the 2nd fix and thought I did a really poor job, but somehow it works and I'm getting good internet. I even combined 2 separate UTP cables. It's only been 2 days so maybe the connection will deteriorate by time tho.
