- Home Tech Adventure shows 3 different methods for how to make an ethernet cable longer. Method #1 is buying a longer ethernet cable or buying cable in bulk and making your own custom cable. Method #2 is not recommended except as an emergency method. Method #3 is an easy and useful way to make an ethernet cable longer. There is one more bonus method at the end of the video.
After watching this do you want to know how to make your own ethernet cable by crimping your own ethernet cable ends? Watch my video on the topic here: th-cam.com/video/Fbq4zVtMU8Q/w-d-xo.html
After watching this video I question the advice of twisting cables together - a big no-no in networking. Punched down/Crimped/Keystone only but I like the alternative keystones on offer - should of extended the face plate to a keystone patch panel however this is what removed the thumbs down on your video. No affiliate links for those keystones you showed?
“Dont do this please” yeah that’s exactly the one I needed 😂
Worked for my needs 😂
Actual content starts 3:45
very useful. Thanks
Thanks. That was exactly what I needed to know so I can move my router out of the basement by extending the cable that Verizon brought in there without messing with there equipment or wire. A combination of method two and three will work for me. Perfect.
Thank you, this helped me a lot!
You're welcome!
Great information 😅 We were actually thinking that the first method was the necessary way to get extended cable wire connection. 😮
Very helpful video, thank you it helps a lot😊
I am entertained, informed, subscribed, liked, and complete.
Thank you sir.
Great and entertaining video! Do these methods impact performance?
Very useful video. Going for option 2! Thanks
he put some effort in and i appreciate that
I am putting a cat 5E cable into a conduit so will not have any space for a cuppler. I will need to do the bare wire method but are there any problems with doing this or is it just frowned upon?
Just added noise and slower speeds due to loss of twist. Also, you should not put splices inside of a conduit.
Thanks for the adventure! Liked your presentation!
Thank you! Very informative and simple presentation.
Thanks
I want to add that many small ethernet switches can be powered by POE. Most will require purchasing a POE splitter so you can power the ethernet switch. This can be very useful when using a switch in an attic or other location where there are no power outlet.
Sweet man. Glad I found this video! Going to hone depot rn
UTP are twisted wires, if you untwist it just 10mm then it will noise the installation and low internet speed.
Thank you.. I have a better understanding of I have to do. Thanks for keeping it short while splicing the wires.
awesome video super helpful thank you!
Sick intro!!! Love the new content 😃
Appreciate it!
the 4th way was very helpful
Loved it! But why are you saying that one alternative is not recommended? Your reasoning?
It will not work long term or at high speed. Also, if there is a lot of electronic interference in the room, it is less likely to work. The wires in the ethernet cable are twisted and packaged specifically to help reject interference and removing this negates the purpose. The other methods preserve the integrity of the connection.
VERY HELPFUL & INFORMATIVE THANK YOU
Thanks for the info
thank you
For a long cable distance can I use a poe box? Between my modem and PC, I'm trying to stream and my PC is in my basement and my modems on the main floor
QUESTION: regarding the coupler, do CAT 5 & CAT 6 use the same?? THANK U
The connectors on the ends of the wires are the same, so any ethernet coupler should work with either one. The couplers are generally listed as supporting either CAT5 or CAT6. If you use a CAT5 coupler with a CAT6 system, you may not be able to achieve the maximum CAT6 speeds, but the connection will still work.
@@hometechadventure4462 Thank you !!!
thank you!
Intro was awesome 😂😂😂
Hi I am installing a POE nvr to POE securty camera but the cable that i used is few meter short if use your last method 3 that u did would that work for power and video thx
Could I just twist the cables together and slap some electrical tape on it instead of soldering
Yea
Sure, but the connection will not be very reliable. Buy a connector like the one I show at the end of the video.
Thank you
That same coupling is now like 13 dollars at Home Depot you got to love that inflation
Thankyou so much dude,
It helped me
For method 2 do you connect both of the wires or only one
I think you mean to say, can you connect one ethernet cable to two cables. This will not work well! Use a switch if you need to connect one incoming line to two ethernet cables.
6:22 or method 3? Can i use cat5e to cat 6 using a splitter? Please Reply Thank you
when you hover your mouse cursor around 1:27 you see a spool, but when you play.. you dont see it.. whats up with that?
If I plug the cable into itself can I get internet anywhere
skip the intro go to settings speed and go to 1.75 and let em' rip.
Some people appreciate the slow version, but speed up if it works for you. Thanks for watching!
How do I make it wireless
Do it support 150 M cat6 cable with TP link switch ????
that's too long
What’s the name of your outro music?

T H A N K Y O U!
usefull but how do u think its funny and the starting session is completely unnecessary
Shame about all the silly things you do at the beginning which is why I never watched it till the end
"E" thernet not "Eh" thernet....smh
I know right. Amazing someone doing a vid on it doesn't even know how to pronounce ethernet
QUESTION: regarding the coupler, do CAT 5 & CAT 6 use the same?? THANK U
