11:55 Cat6A cable turned into Cat6 only. Difference between 5e and 6A is also the way each pair is twisted. 6A is tighter twisted. Cat7 is a whole different story where the twist-"spacing" is varying.
That is a strong tape... the Cat5 ripped in half first... I run all Cat6 standard for many years... I know this is 3 years ago... I had my house built 3 years ago and the company doing the low voltage was STILL doing Cat5e as standard (in 2019!) when I had been using Cat6 for about 5 years.... They made me pay an upgrade fee to change to Cat6 on my runs.... The guy was telling me, oh yeah, you dont need anything over CAT5e, and if you put in 6, thats all you'll need for the rest of your life... I said Cat5e has been around for 20 years, how could you still be using that!?!? And I said I will use all Cat6 and then some when Cat 7 and 8 and 9 and 14 and 18 come out! I had to explain that I am running all my cameras (18) and 4 AP's, and I have a complete server rack FULL of servers and network equipment and lots of other gear. And all my smart home setup...

And they wouldnt let me run my own fiber and cable, I HAD to pay them :(.... I ran my fiber lines after closing... This was a production builder in a very high end community...

Nairbo Bryan is absolutely right. With this method you can share big files like games very fast when you downloaded them once. You have a so called Caching Server for this.

Been waiting for some MikroTik love on this channel, they've been seriously undercutting the prices of the major names for networking hardware for years now with a vastly superior feature set as standard.
They have had some serious security issues with some of their routers or something though. But if it's just a "dumb" switch, I don't see a problem I guess
Mikrotik is good stuff, will do everything the other guys can for less. Management interface takes some getting used to. Their documentation is enough to get you started, though.
pro cabling tip, you dont need a screwdriver or anything to straighten them out (this is gonna be crazy hard to explain in text, but here goes..) 1) untwist them 2) line them up in the right order 3) firmly hold them together (while keeping them flat) at two different points ~1/2 an inch apart 4) wiggle those 2 points back and forth on a 2 dimensional plane, the wires will straighten *much* more. 5) snip off the un-straightened part
In the future, I recommend getting special cat 6 heads, they have little holes in the front of the head that let the individual leads pass through, it makes it far easier to crimp the cables.
Those are called pass-through connectors. They are way easier to use, I just use the regular cheapie connectors. The pass-through connectors also need a special crimping tool I believe.
@@RoastBeefSandwich they don't necessarily need a special tool, but they're best used with the special tool because it gives space fir the wires that are passing through to sit freely as well as come with a blade to cut the slack off while crimping.
@@colethomas2309 99% of the rj45 crimpers you can buy have a blade for pass through connection you dont really need a special one. They aren't any better or worse than regular RJs but most of older techs I know don't like them and consider them to be a lesser rj
When I ran the first internet lines at my parents house 10 years ago I INSISTED using CAT6 cable, if we EVER get 10gig to their house, it has been ready for YEARS
I would like some fiber optic, but with twisted pair cables, I can just buy some cables, some jacks, reference material to properly wire the jacks, and the multi-tool dedicated to twisted pair cables. I had practice in making those kinds of cables as part of networking college course.
@@Aereto from MY experience in Networking in college, FiOs is finicky and a pain to use, and a simple break ruins the connection. Twisted pair is alot more durable
To clarify more, the cat 6a cable is twisted more for less crosstalk. Apart from having a larger frequency, the gauge of the wire as well as the plastic coating outside of the copper sheaths are also different.
actually that was in the attic, where the break happened was the end that was in the living room wall jack. it was likely just fatigued at that point where it was exposed to the weather all these years.
Hey Linus and crew. I have been watching your awesome tech vids but I haven’t been sending comments as much as I would like. But I want you to know that your content haven’t cease to amaze, at all. Keep up the good work and see you next vid.
It's really silly I have a 14yr old 8 port 1gbe netgear unmanaged switch I bought for around that price ($50) back then. Didn't expect it to take this long for 10gbe to hit the home. Wonder what the hold up is.
@@SinisterPuppy Way back I built a very small Beowulf cluster with only 8 servers in a 40U rack on wheels so we could truck it around. To connect these we used the cheapest 8 port 1 Gbit switch we could get. Iit cost something like $700 - $800 and had loud fckn fans that drowned out the sound of the eight dual processor servers it shared a rack with. A few years later a switch with the same performance and features would cost less than $50, and be passively cooled...
I'm still surprised how costly 10gbe is, the standard was ratified in 2006! (10GBaseT) which was 13 years ago and it's still rare in the consumer world. No wonder why 1gbe is still going strong and with 2.5gbe & 5gbe coming and able to utilize cat5e cable, a lot of users will stay with 1/2.5/5 which for most is "good enough".
DOH! CONDUIT DUDE! Whenever I can (time/money/difficulty) I ALWAYS fit conduit in awkward situations! THEN adding or replacing cables to runs avoids those issues you were having. No need for more expensive electrical power rated conduit either. Low cost flexible or hard pvc pipe can solve many issues! I have TWO 32mm runs through my stud walls currently, one flexible for hidden TV cables (DC power, AC Mains), HDMI, , etc and the other one is a straight drop 40mm pvc drain pipe for running Ethernet cables down to the ground floor void under the suspended floor from the upstairs floor void. Left it with a draw cord to make adding cables a piece of proverbial. Soon there will be another 20 conduit runs including 2x32mm, the rest 20mm for a complete lighting automation system. All light controls will be 5v ONLY, with NO mains in the walls except for wall lamps. All mains connections to lamps will be via opto isolated relays from one control box. LOTS of mains cable conduit used too, to ease replacement of existing mains runs with orange ZHLS Cat5e control cabling. All power cabling then via conduit to the above ceiling voids upstairs and downstairs. MUCH, MUCH easier for upgrading later as/when needed for 10G or even fibre in the future!
I had conduit installed in key locations by my builder when I built my new house. They all thought it was overkill and I'd never use it. Now I have fiber and multiple Cat 5e runs pulled thru it. No regrets.
@@redmach12003 builders! Biggest luddites on the planet, closely followed by plumbers and dare I say it sparkies!

it's actually a great name for a switch. Mikrotik labels all their stuff so that you can know exactly what it does and what ports it has right from the model name.
I'm in the process of setting up my new houses network. Debated going 10 gig, but I'm not sure the benefit on a home network is there yet. Nice to see products coming down in price, its incredible what you can do with legacy hardware these days!
Definitely don’t go cheap on your home cable runs, upgrading to cat6a or cat7 is really a horrible experience especially for people living in brick homes inner walls included.
I mean you gotta pay to play. There are much cheaper ways to network 10G, but if you want a copper (RJ45) switch and plug and play, you gotta pay up or wait.
I've just run single mode fibre cable runs everywhere in my house that I need 10G, the LC connectors are about the same diameter as Cat6A cable so I don't need larger holes, and if you use BiDi SFPs which are still very cheap you only need a single fibre for 10G anyway.

If this will helps, whean configurating the mikrotik switches and routers better use Winbox software, dont know what you use but i think simple using browser, configure RoMON that you can connect to device without any filter rules = saver things, you can also make many DHCP servers and VLAN rules for your servers to keep saver and separate devices from your normal devices like normal use laptops or phones, in ip>firewall>service ports change the ports you like beceose many of ppl like to try enter your cr using standard service ports and also if anyone can connect to your internet provider network and use scan in winbox, can see your device. In ip>firewall>nat you can make ports rules also in connections you will see all connections in and out to your network. Make in firewall filter rules flood protect rule for make your sarvers saver. In ip>dhcp server>leases you can easly make static adresses rules, also you can see there alerts. PRO TIP - you can play music on your mikrotik switches and routers using scripting, you all can find in google serch. Think about that, flood rule starts to working, someone attacks your server, router starting the script to block that and also plays imperial march from star wars :D. there are almost everything you can do with this router. PRO TIP for ppl working in internet providers - if some company have many of radios from mikrotik and you dont know what radio you need to service, someone who can enter to this radio can play for you any music to locate the radio, we have many of SXT radios for clients and whean you reech the roof of building and see 6 radios .... that can helps 10gbps you can also reech using 2 x cat 5e cable, using any cables outside better use cables with gel inside, that will make water out from the inside of cable. PS. Sorry for my poor english language :) Cheers.
uhm, I think that's not Cat6a. That's just Cat6 with a little more twist count. The anti-crosstalk plastic divider is already present in Cat6. I believe a real Cat6a, aside from having more twist count, also have slightly higher copper gauge and at least a foil shielding with a grounding wire which will be attached to the metal body of the Cat6a connector.
Glad to see 10 gig local networking catching up. I believe that it has not previously caught up because hard drives and internet connection connections has usually been slower than 10gig and therefor the benefit has not been that visible. With FTTH 1gig connections and ssd's getting faster, the need to upgrade the home networking is getting more prevalent.
I believe a barrier is the effort involved in cable repacement. If you have cat 5 or 5e everywhere, with a sizable company, the cable replacement piece is substantial work.
@@brianw.4985 Yes but in network infrastructure most work are actually industrial and you would rather lay cat 8 cables than cat 5 on new installations.
just installed a roll of that shite and it says on the packet "the feel good insulaton" should tell the marketing department to roll it out and sleep on it fucking hate fiberglass insulation.
"after upgrading my house to 10gb networking, I still haven't upgraded my house to 10gb networking" like ik they said it was an error but it's still kinda funny
Cat 6A is augmented category 6 and rated for 500 MHz vs the Category 5e which is rated for 100 MHz only so its definitely a good upgrade :) for those of you who are worried about the price you can get a lowered 10 port with similar specs for around 170 otherwise a 1 GB 8 port switch can run you around $30. Cabling and ends are cheap just make sure you don't get a lower rated connector.
@1Me Winbox will pickup the device via a MAC address. If you want web interface, then the default Mikrotik IP address of 192.168.88.1 will be your friend. It's a good thing that RouterOS was pre-installed. Else, that would have been entertaining to watch! ;)

That is a strong tape... the Cat5 ripped in half first...
I run all Cat6 standard for many years... I know this is 3 years ago... I had my house built 3 years ago and the company doing the low voltage was STILL doing Cat5e as standard (in 2019!) when I had been using Cat6 for about 5 years.... They made me pay an upgrade fee to change to Cat6 on my runs.... The guy was telling me, oh yeah, you dont need anything over CAT5e, and if you put in 6, thats all you'll need for the rest of your life... I said Cat5e has been around for 20 years, how could you still be using that!?!? And I said I will use all Cat6 and then some when Cat 7 and 8 and 9 and 14 and 18 come out! I had to explain that I am running all my cameras (18) and 4 AP's, and I have a complete server rack FULL of servers and network equipment and lots of other gear. And all my smart home setup... I had to show that I did indeed need CAT6 and dont tell me that BS about it being good for all i'll ever need... I"m NOT your typical customer and dont downsell me so you can pocket more money by getting CHEAP CAT5e... He had never pre-wired for anyone with AP's, let alone 4 of them, and PoE cams.

And they wouldnt let me run my own fiber and cable, I HAD to pay them :(.... I ran my fiber lines after closing...

Shame this video didn't do Mikrotik much justice as they only stated the price.
They have had some serious security issues with some of their routers or something though. But if it's just a "dumb" switch, I don't see a problem I guess
Mikrotik is good stuff, will do everything the other guys can for less. Management interface takes some getting used to. Their documentation is enough to get you started, though.
@@dcheverie Not just one router, security issues with the RouterOS software. They do patch things pretty frequently though.
pro cabling tip, you dont need a screwdriver or anything to straighten them out
(this is gonna be crazy hard to explain in text, but here goes..)
1) untwist them
2) line them up in the right order
3) firmly hold them together (while keeping them flat) at two different points ~1/2 an inch apart
4) wiggle those 2 points back and forth on a 2 dimensional plane, the wires will straighten *much* more.
5) snip off the un-straightened part
do step 4 too much and you can work harden the copper and break the conductor. but that is how I do it I confess.
In the future, I recommend getting special cat 6 heads, they have little holes in the front of the head that let the individual leads pass through, it makes it far easier to crimp the cables.
Those are called pass-through connectors. They are way easier to use, I just use the regular cheapie connectors. The pass-through connectors also need a special crimping tool I believe.
@@RoastBeefSandwich they don't necessarily need a special tool, but they're best used with the special tool because it gives space fir the wires that are passing through to sit freely as well as come with a blade to cut the slack off while crimping.

Although mikrotik started with wireless network equipment with routerboards these switches are exceptional. Great equipment from my experience.

You were ahead of your time
I wired my whole house with at least 3 rj45 in every room and Cat6 around 12 yrs ago

Wake me up when I can get multigig (affordable 10gb can wait) 8 port switches under $50.

It's really silly I have a 14yr old 8 port 1gbe netgear unmanaged switch I bought for around that price ($50) back then. Didn't expect it to take this long for 10gbe to hit the home. Wonder what the hold up is.
Yes this is still much too expensive for most people to want to do it. Upvote for the video, so Linus can get his 1000 dollars back haha
@@SinisterPuppy Way back I built a very small Beowulf cluster with only 8 servers in a 40U rack on wheels so we could truck it around. To connect these we used the cheapest 8 port 1 Gbit switch we could get. Iit cost something like $700 - $800 and had loud fckn fans that drowned out the sound of the eight dual processor servers it shared a rack with. A few years later a switch with the same performance and features would cost less than $50, and be passively cooled...
I'm still surprised how costly 10gbe is, the standard was ratified in 2006! (10GBaseT) which was 13 years ago and it's still rare in the consumer world. No wonder why 1gbe is still going strong and with 2.5gbe & 5gbe coming and able to utilize cat5e cable, a lot of users will stay with 1/2.5/5 which for most is "good enough".
DOH! CONDUIT DUDE! Whenever I can (time/money/difficulty) I ALWAYS fit conduit in awkward situations! THEN adding or replacing cables to runs avoids those issues you were having.
No need for more expensive electrical power rated conduit either. Low cost flexible or hard pvc pipe can solve many issues!
I have TWO 32mm runs through my stud walls currently, one flexible for hidden TV cables (DC power, AC Mains), HDMI, , etc and the other one is a straight drop 40mm pvc drain pipe for running Ethernet cables down to the ground floor void under the suspended floor from the upstairs floor void. Left it with a draw cord to make adding cables a piece of proverbial.
Soon there will be another 20 conduit runs including 2x32mm, the rest 20mm for a complete lighting automation system. All light controls will be 5v ONLY, with NO mains in the walls except for wall lamps. All mains connections to lamps will be via opto isolated relays from one control box.
LOTS of mains cable conduit used too, to ease replacement of existing mains runs with orange ZHLS Cat5e control cabling. All power cabling then via conduit to the above ceiling voids upstairs and downstairs.
MUCH, MUCH easier for upgrading later as/when needed for 10G or even fibre in the future!
I had conduit installed in key locations by my builder when I built my new house. They all thought it was overkill and I'd never use it. Now I have fiber and multiple Cat 5e runs pulled thru it. No regrets.
@@redmach12003 builders! Biggest luddites on the planet, closely followed by plumbers and dare I say it sparkies! I insisted that my builder ensured that the suspended ground floor had sufficient clearance beneath the joists as crawl space! I used that access many times ... He said I never would! None so blind as those who cannot see!
it's actually a great name for a switch. Mikrotik labels all their stuff so that you can know exactly what it does and what ports it has right from the model name.
I'm in the process of setting up my new houses network. Debated going 10 gig, but I'm not sure the benefit on a home network is there yet. Nice to see products coming down in price, its incredible what you can do with legacy hardware these days!
Definitely don’t go cheap on your home cable runs, upgrading to cat6a or cat7 is really a horrible experience especially for people living in brick homes inner walls included.

@@hendeeze doing it through fiber and SFP+ using second hand ebay stuff is a fraction of the cost doing it through copper.
@@dpskipper that's what I basically wrote.
I've just run single mode fibre cable runs everywhere in my house that I need 10G, the LC connectors are about the same diameter as Cat6A cable so I don't need larger holes, and if you use BiDi SFPs which are still very cheap you only need a single fibre for 10G anyway.

If this will helps, whean configurating the mikrotik switches and routers better use Winbox software, dont know what you use but i think simple using browser, configure RoMON that you can connect to device without any filter rules = saver things, you can also make many DHCP servers and VLAN rules for your servers to keep saver and separate devices from your normal devices like normal use laptops or phones, in ip>firewall>service ports change the ports you like beceose many of ppl like to try enter your cr using standard service ports and also if anyone can connect to your internet provider network and use scan in winbox, can see your device. In ip>firewall>nat you can make ports rules also in connections you will see all connections in and out to your network. Make in firewall filter rules flood protect rule for make your sarvers saver. In ip>dhcp server>leases you can easly make static adresses rules, also you can see there alerts.
PRO TIP - you can play music on your mikrotik switches and routers using scripting, you all can find in google serch. Think about that, flood rule starts to working, someone attacks your server, router starting the script to block that and also plays imperial march from star wars :D.
there are almost everything you can do with this router.
PRO TIP for ppl working in internet providers - if some company have many of radios from mikrotik and you dont know what radio you need to service, someone who can enter to this radio can play for you any music to locate the radio, we have many of SXT radios for clients and whean you reech the roof of building and see 6 radios .... that can helps
10gbps you can also reech using 2 x cat 5e cable, using any cables outside better use cables with gel inside, that will make water out from the inside of cable.

Glad to see 10 gig local networking catching up. I believe that it has not previously caught up because hard drives and internet connection connections has usually been slower than 10gig and therefor the benefit has not been that visible. With FTTH 1gig connections and ssd's getting faster, the need to upgrade the home networking is getting more prevalent.
I believe a barrier is the effort involved in cable repacement. If you have cat 5 or 5e everywhere, with a sizable company, the cable replacement piece is substantial work.
@@brianw.4985 Yes but in network infrastructure most work are actually industrial and you would rather lay cat 8 cables than cat 5 on new installations.
@@SuperSkandale new installs yes, 6a or 7 at least. But there are tons of existing installs with cat 5 or 5e.

"after upgrading my house to 10gb networking, I still haven't upgraded my house to 10gb networking"
like ik they said it was an error but it's still kinda funny
Cat 6A is augmented category 6 and rated for 500 MHz vs the Category 5e which is rated for 100 MHz only so its definitely a good upgrade :) for those of you who are worried about the price you can get a lowered 10 port with similar specs for around 170 otherwise a 1 GB 8 port switch can run you around $30. Cabling and ends are cheap just make sure you don't get a lower rated connector.
You can use short runs of Cat 6 (NOT a) for 10GB - 55 meters vs 100 IIRC.
For MOST folks, that's not going to matter.
