this 9 year old video helped me so much to understand the cables thing. i have a lab test where we have to make this and we have never done it before. hope i dont screw up the crimping bc idk how much strength is needed for these tools in RJ45. Thank you so much for the video!
just finished my straight through and crossover cables, both tested it on my cable tester and they both passed in flying colors. tnx for the vid instruction. jimi from the Phlippines.
Crossover cables became a thing of the past 20 years ago. All computers, switches and equipment built in the last 20 years is able to identify and correct TX and RX on pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 so it doesn't matter at all. I prefer to wire in A because Blue and Orange are in the middle for phone.
Excellent Video, I did it my first try, I have the tools and the tester, I kept wasting connector after connector and couldn't figure out why the tester would not work, I finally looked up a video which was yours and realize my color platform was all wrong, I did a cable this morning with your color chart and the way you did it and the tester worked perfectly, Thanks alot.
John40ish It's great that you succeeded first try. I wish that the "whys" for doing straight through vs crossover would have been explained during the demonstration. For example, why flip colors? Not explained.
You make look simple and I think I finally got the hang of it. My advice to you is buy pre-cut assembled cables if you can because it ain't as easy as it seems. If you proceed do it on a day when you are at peace with yourself and have incredible patience. At the point when you are ready to push the wires into the connector make sure you see every wire in a straight line under your finger/thumb,all flat in a row and in the correct order. It is so easy for one wire to slip under/behind another and you are screwed. If I did this over again I would use pass through connectors. Murphy's law applies here and you will never succeed on the first try which is why you need lots of connectors. This job is a real bitch.
sorry, Just for clarification....using the 568A at one end and the 568B at the other end makes it a crossover cable just like you showed on your video? using 568A or 568B on both ends make it a straight through cable. am I correct? I appreciate your answer....thanks
@@kellyash45 not if you crimp the wrong wire in the wrong pin. They dont just come out. You have to either cut the wire at the base of the terminal or crush the terminal itself and take the wires out.
thanks for this video, a such a very easy and clear how to make both types of cable, specially when you said remember the colour and just flip the green with orange .. learnt. and confusion removed, good Job
dial2fast.... If I use a "cross-over" coupler, I should be able to just terminate both ends of seperate cables as 568A and plug-in to the coupler (the cross-over would be performed by the coupler).... is this correct? Thanks much Thomas Crawford
Yes. As long as pairs 4 and 5 colors are reversed along the path, you're good. If it helps imagine two people trying to talk to each other. It works best when one person puts their mouth ( the outgoing port) up to the ear (the receiving port). One pair sends communications and the other receives communications so they need to be "coupled" so the sender is sending to a receiving port and not another sending port that cannot hear anything. This is the basic concept of a crossover cable.
I had that uneven crimping experience too...looking head on it was like a hump back bridge, I noticed straight away...and was scratching my head...though in my case the connections were made enough to be reliable??? didn't have another tool on site to redo.. It was a ratcheting crimper also, never found the cause. just chucked the tool.
Sweet vid mate, just made a cable run from 1 side of the house to the other following this guide, worked first try, GGez. Especially useful when he reminded everyone that the 1-8 is reversed when he flipped the connector over so noone missed that detail.
IDK but aside from T568B of A, I have been using non-standard color coding when setting up LAN ang it's working well. I just made it sure that whatever the color combination on one end is also the same on the other end. Is there a special feature with the copper wire inside a Wh-Or, Or and the Wh-Gr, Gr plastic cover with regards to Transmit and Received function?
i have a straight through cable in my house that has: WO/O/WG/WB/B/G/WB/B on both ends... so they messed up the blue and white blue's position, to my surprise it works fine though.. How is that even possible? I guess it doesnt really matter wich order you use them then as long as 2 sides are the same?
If wire color match on both sides, the cable will work, but the standard is designed to have specific wire in a specific pin position to minimize noise. This is why they use twisted pair instead of untwisted.
So it won't work if I just randomly ordered the wires but kept the same random order at both ends? I connected a head to a wire with a random order but repeated the same order at the other end and it didn't work. So the wires HAVE to be in that particular order?
The wires need to be in a specific order because there are Tx and Rx lines and the twisted pairs are put in a specific order to reduce EMI interference.
I am wondering if 100base TX uses only 4 wires, will cutting off the unused blue and brown pairs affect the speed? I am planning to cut them off on both ends for power delivery.
Hello Dial2fast, how do I pin up to match the keystone jack connections with the rg45 plug connections? I just wired my home with ethernet cables, but now I need to make connections for the keystone plates on the wall and then rg45 plugs to connect to the keystones. do I pin up all the keystone connectors all the same configuration, and the rg45 in a straight or cross configuration won't matter??? thanks in advance for your help
Group A: Router - Host Group B: Switch - Hub When connecting two elements from the same group use cross-over, otherwise if you're connecting 2 elements from 2 different groups use straight through
Actually, unless you are using gigabit, the blue and brown pairs are unused, on regular 10/100 Base T networks pins 1 and 2 (Orange for B Green for A) are used for transmit (TX) or upload and pins 3 and 6 (Green for B Orange for A) are used for receive (RX) or download Here is a diagram for what all the pins are used for (Note: I may have polarity (pos/neg) backwards, and the unused pairs, while unused, are considered as ground (GND) T568A T568B 1. TX+ White-Green White-Orange 2. TX- Green Orange 3. RX+ White-Orange White-Green 4. GND Blue Blue 5. GND White-Blue White-Blue 6. RX- Orange Green 7. GND White-Brown White-Brown 8. GND Brown Brown
I have a cat 5 cable, I use it to connect a wire from my router to a PC in another room. when I am working on equipment. like building PC's. for that cable, I would create just a Straight through, Right? What is exactly a cross over used for? I am thinking different type of equipment.
+Scott Castille Crossover cable is used for similar devices. Like switch to switch, or router to pc(similar in the way they send data). A straight through cable is used for dissimilar devices like pc to switch. and router to switch. If the router you are talking about that you are connecting your pc to is what typically gets provided by the ISP you are actually connecting it to a switch. Most home routers just have a 4 or 5 pin switch built into the modem. In that case since its pc to switch it would be a straight-through cable.
Used when you have two 'like' similar devices, you would use xover cable (ex: from one computer to another), but now a days, many devices auto sense and switches for you.
I have a Line 6 Spider 4 Guitar Amp 75watts - (non tube). It connects to a floorboard foot control via RJ45, the floorboard is powered through this connection. I would like to be able to "split" the cable somehow to connect one pedal board into 2 Amps. (Identical amps). But I don't want to blow anything up... Any help would be awesome. Many people in Guitar Forums are wondering the same. The manufacturer offers 0 advise of course. Thank you
I know this is 2 years old but I'll give my advice anyway on this unique application. I've never seen this application but if it's possible to split the pairs, as you can do in fast ethernet applications, which is what you might have for a guitar amp/floorboard connection transferring a small amount of data, you would make a "split, straight through cable", meaning you split the pairs but use a "straight through" pin out using two pairs for each connector and I'd label the cables near the mod ends "Amp 1" and "Amp 2". The orange and green pairs would be used for one mod end "Amp 1" and the other two, the blue and brown pairs would be used for the other mod end "Amp 2", thereby "splitting" your cable. Both ends would be terminated with the same pin out. Your orange and green pairs (O/W, W, G/W, G) land on pins 3, 4, 5 and 6 on one connector. Which color you put where does not matter as long as both ends are terminated the same, although you do want to make sure that only one color pair occupies pins 4 and 5 and pins 3 and 6 are occupied by the other color pair with the white wire landing on pin 3 so your pin out for the two mod ends of "Amp 1" will look like this on pins 3-6: W/O (pin 3), G (pin 4), W/G (pin 5), O (pin 6). The other mod end pin out would use the Blue (B) and Brown (Br) pairs in the same fashion as above for a pin out on "Amp 2" cable and will look like this: W/Br (pin 3), B (pin 4), W/B (pin 5), Br (pin 6). Let me know if you see this and try it and if it works for you in this application. Thanks!
If you simply match up both sides, the cable will most likely work. However you should learn the industry standard so you make the cable properly. I made a similar mistake when I first started in the industry, and the customer I was doing work for made me cut all the ends off and recrimp about 100+ connectors. If you want to be treated as a professional, then your work need to reflect that.
I think the reason for color code is to help eliminate distortion due to the corona created by the signal. Otherwise you might end up needing shielded cable.
The reason for the color code is so then when a tech replaces an end he doesn't have to hunt down the opposite end and color match. (imagine in a multi-floor office how tedious it would be so have to run to the bottom floor, write down the color order of 1 cable then go to the top floor to make the end, then back down for the next wire. Not to mention even trying to figure out which end is the other end when you have 100's of wires all coming out of one conduit)
Viper90087 Why the crossover of the twisted pair on pin 3 and pin 6 then? It'd be much easier to make the end if I could just do the color and it's white brother all the way, then just make the code: orange, WO, green, WG, blue, WBlue, brown, WBrown or something. That was just a reason I came up with to get my guys to do it right, because I couldn't fathom doing it this way for no reason. I'm an electrician btw, and almost all commercial lighting is requiring CAT5 now, so it probably doesn't really matter for me, but you're right, it is aggravating to change out an obvious bad end, just to find out that now you have to remake the other end, because they used a different color code.
I probably should have added that you were correct as well habib levi.the color code is also in part to prevent signal loss, cross talk, distortion etc..The other part of it is the pinning for networking 1,2 is transmit and 3,6 is receive. That's why they are not paired color, Wcolor all the way through, because of that receive pinning.Blame the idiot that invented routers and what not.would have been much simpler to just swap pins in the device where needed rather than require 2 different types of cables.Imagine if every electrical appliance like your toaster and coffee maker used a standard 3-prong removable plug, then were varied as to which side of the plug was positive, negative and ground. So then you'd have to buy a normal or crossover plug depending on how they connected the positive and negative inside the appliance.That's how big of idiots smart people can be sometimes.Routers, switches and what not have been around for how many years??? They still haven't changed it, because then they would have to admit to a mistake. So instead they spent 4x as much research designing switches that cost more which can automatically switch pinning. Maybe it was just some jackass's joke to annoy the world.
Annoyingly I'm trying to crimp some cat5 for poe cctv cams and there are only 6 cables. Black, red, green, green/white, orange and orange/white. Is this something for cctv cables as this cat5 cable came with the cameras. Can't find any reference to this wiring diagram anywhere, nobody referenced black and red cables. Some of the pins have to be empty cos there are 8 slots, so which ones are supposed to be empty? lol.
6 conductor is not an Ethernet cable. The company that made those probably thought since they only need a few conductors to work with the cameras, and to save cost, they are using a 6 conductor twisted pair cable. Doing it this way, you have no idea which pin goes where because it's a non-standard custom wiring. You can perhaps try to match the color on the existing RJ45 connector that came with the camera system.
I'm trying to do this myself as professionals want £100 to fit the cable. The thing is as soon as I let the wire go when pushing the wires into the plastic end they cross over, so the wires aren't in line with the correct pin. It's very frustrating lol.
+Wes It does take practice, but you need to use your fingers to pull and straighten out each wire before lining them up. Move them around if you need to so each wire is not wrapped around another. Once you know they are straight and in order, then you cut to length and insert it (while still holding it down).
This is one of the MANY reasons we get paid what we get paid. We have spent decades, usually, developing the education and skillset to be able to do what you cannot. Pay the man and thank him for his expertise and give him the respect he deserves and stop being a cheap skate whiner.
Cross over cable is used when connecting 'like or similar' devices. Such as connecting from computer to computer directly. But these days, network devices will automatically adjust and work without the use of a cross over cable.
this 9 year old video helped me so much to understand the cables thing. i have a lab test where we have to make this and we have never done it before. hope i dont screw up the crimping bc idk how much strength is needed for these tools in RJ45. Thank you so much for the video!

i don't get it why there are people that disliked this useful video
Very thorough and informative. It would be beneficial though to know when you would want to use a straight or crossover connection.
Rick Regazzi crossover is for computer to computer or networking equipment that is similar ( majority of people would do straight through)

very much helpful vedio for my pratical exam.. thanks man..
in making crossover..... do they have the same color combination in both ends?
I connected using only EIA 568B. Is this ok?
Surely they are both wired exactly the same, just with different colours?
IDK but aside from T568B of A, I have been using non-standard color coding when setting up LAN ang it's working well.

From your switch all the way to your RJ45 wall plate, you wire it up straight through. So each connection will have the same color code and pinout.
great tutorial!! If making a LAN to LAN connection (router to router) do you use a straight-thru or crossover cable? Thanks !

When connecting two elements from the same group use cross-over, otherwise if you're connecting 2 elements from 2 different groups use straight through

Great help - thank you!
When would you use a crossover set up or a straight set up ?

Cross Cable for Similar devices and Straight Cable for different devices
Which color is mainly the data receiver?
I know that brown is mainly the data sender.
Actually, unless you are using gigabit, the blue and brown pairs are unused, on regular 10/100 Base T networks pins 1 and 2 (Orange for B Green for A) are used for transmit (TX) or upload and pins 3 and 6 (Green for B Orange for A) are used for receive (RX) or download
Here is a diagram for what all the pins are used for (Note: I may have polarity (pos/neg) backwards, and the unused pairs, while unused, are considered as ground (GND)
T568A T568B
1. TX+ White-Green White-Orange
2. TX- Green Orange
3. RX+ White-Orange White-Green
4. GND Blue Blue

Use an ethernet hub?
Angry Dergon

Let me know if you see this and try it and if it works for you in this application. Thanks!
Perfect I kept wondering how do i remember the color order ever since i took the network plus exam
Wow artist
For a straight thru cable, does the sequence really matter? As long as it's the same on both ends then it shouldn't matter, correct?

Who else here from Mr V class , shoutout to yall
Annoyingly I'm trying to crimp some cat5 for poe cctv cams and there are only 6 cables. Black, red, green, green/white, orange and orange/white. Is this something for cctv cables as this cat5 cable came with the cameras. Can't find any reference to this wiring diagram anywhere, nobody referenced black and red cables. Some of the pins have to be empty cos there are 8 slots, so which ones are supposed to be empty? lol.
6 conductor is not an Ethernet cable. The company that made those probably thought since they only need a few conductors to work with the cameras, and to save cost, they are using a 6 conductor twisted pair cable. Doing it this way, you have no idea which pin goes where because it's a non-standard custom wiring. You can perhaps try to match the color on the existing RJ45 connector that came with the camera system.
@@dial2fast hey thanks for replying. I'm going to match it with the other end of the cable when I can get access to it.
I'm trying to do this myself as professionals want £100 to fit the cable. The thing is as soon as I let the wire go when pushing the wires into the plastic end they cross over, so the wires aren't in line with the correct pin. It's very frustrating lol.
+Wes It does take practice, but you need to use your fingers to pull and straighten out each wire before lining them up. Move them around if you need to so each wire is not wrapped around another. Once you know they are straight and in order, then you cut to length and insert it (while still holding it down).
+dial2fast Okay, I'll give it another go. Thanks :)
This is one of the MANY reasons we get paid what we get paid. We have spent decades, usually, developing the education and skillset to be able to do what you cannot.
Pay the man and thank him for his expertise and give him the respect he deserves and stop being a cheap skate whiner.
thank u sir
What is cross over for?
Cross over cable is used when connecting 'like or similar' devices. Such as connecting from computer to computer directly. But these days, network devices will automatically adjust and work without the use of a cross over cable.
@@dial2fast thank you
What is the most important steps that should not miss?
Thanks!!! :)
Great.
Thanks
Sir please tell me types of io and termination
Straight Through & Crossover, witch is faster?
Neither are faster. They are the same.
Thanks for your comment! Cheers!
