So darn exciting ! I just decided to quit watching Nascar & NFL so I can make this my full time sports channel ! Keep it up !
Funny, thanks.
This was a tad nostalgic for me, about 25 years ago I had a job installing networks. Companies were changing over from giant tower computers with some inch floppy boot disk with drive controller boards I used to have hanging on my wall, they were 2 feet by 2 feet just to run the single floppy drive. That was all replaced with a standard IBM 386 computer. The network for that grocery store chain was upgraded to CAT5 which was top dog at the time. I still remember terminating those long runs, getting out the tester and making sure I did it right. Pulling the cables climbing through fiberglass and hanging from rafters in factory buildings hundreds of feet above the floor. It was hard work, sweaty itchy work but I enjoyed it. Hated my boss and his meathead brother. I was in the local 5 electricians union and when I complained about them they laid me off. I tried to fight it saying they only hire relatives. 90% of that crew was related in some way. I learned a lot and moved on with my life. That company is a vacant lot today so I guess I win. Nice video.

Very detailed oriented, even a person like me without knowledge of any kind and follow and had it done. Thank you for sharing. Detailed oriented, Very educational.
Thank you for the feedback. I truly appreciate it.
Thanks for the information.
---------------
Somethings to keep in mind when selecting Cat cable:
5e - up to 1Gbs at 100m (328 ft)
6 - up to 10Gbs at ~37-55m (~121-180 ft)
6a - up to 10Gbs at 100m
7 - up to 10Gbs at 100m - up to *100Gbs at 15m (~49 ft), Fully shielded, *Class F, not recognized by the TIA/EIA.
8 - up to 40Gbs at ~30m (98 ft) - Fully shielded,
UTP - Unshielded Twisted Pair
------------
Thanks for the input.
Thank you so much. This was the exact information I was looking for to terminate my cat7 cable.

Great video! Thank you so much for your clear explanations and demonstration. Suggestion: it would have been great if during the keystone demonstration, the camera stayed zoomed in making it easier to see the detail of how the wires were laying in the keystone, etc.
Agreed, it was one of my earlier videos and was still learning the process. Thanks for the input.

Great Vid and great good info, I have not played with cat7 to get the finesse aquired to properly terminate blanks and keystones. This vid is now in my quick resource material for use in my cloud information database. Thank you. I've already called my supplier to send me blanks and keystones for cat7 cabling, and a 1000ft box of cat7. I knew it was going to be expensive. THATS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
Wow.
Thank. Appreciate the feedback.
Great video, very informative. I haven't needed to dive into wiring in a few years but I did enjoy the instruction here to stay on top of what it takes to put together CAT7.

Great to hear. Thanks!
@8:49 "Adding the color stripe on the white wire causes interference..." *NO* The extra doping / processing costs money, and it's three more SKUs to keep up with. What interference is there going to be inside the little foil cage? NONE, it's a balanced pair.
My other issues here... as has been said (and will continue to be repeated), Cat7 is not a thing. That explains why that cable is such crap... they cheaped out and couldn't be bothered to color code the white wires, they barely twisted the pairs, and they all have the same level of twist. The little plastic guide is there to maintain twist -- yes it helps align the wires, but it's _purpose_ is twist. The twist must be maintained as far as possible (i.e. all the way to the crimp contacts, but that's near impossible with a hand made cable.) The shielding should be maintained as far as possible. The cable jacket is part of the strain relief; it must go far enough inside the crimp housing to engage with the "cleat" at the back. (the drain clip is not a strain relief.) To avoid ground loops, it should only be bonded at one end. (consult local electrical code. ground loops are no joke.)
Thanks for the detail.
I agree with you. But my other issue is when he says the Standard in the USA is B. They are both standards and I know electrician do A and most computer people do B. Why I have no clue. I think way back in the day one of the colors had more twists than the other which isn't the case any longer. It comes down to what you are taught.

@@kewitt1 I tend to ignore that religious debate. A vs. B... they're functionally the same. Which you use is a matter of personal preference, or company doctrine.
@@jfbeam Functionally they are not the same. A will let you use the second phone pair for POTS phones as is, the other will not. Some IT persons will wire B standard for that reason, to discourage use of their wire, to send POTS telephony on their wiring.

Great, clear, no blubbering, informative! Finally, someone mentions that the cable MUST ALWAYS be terminated in the A or B configuration at both ends! Can't have an A config at one end and a B config at the other. Thanks Mike.
Thank you for the great feedback, it is appreciated.
586A is from the dinosaur days when telcos ruled the world and dictated everything. It's better if you happen to have an old PBX switch but... Eventually the networking upstarts took over and that's the B spec. We wanted to do things like power over ethernet and increase transmission speeds...
Sure you can. It's a crossover cable which was *essential* in days before auto-negotiate.
ummm yes you absolutely can, that's called a crossover cable. It's just that for the past 15 years or so, every device has Auto MDIX and that dynamically causes 1 of the devices to flip their transmission pins if required. PC's and Router's typically had the same pin-out and Switches/Bridges/Hubs had the alternate. If you were connecting a PC to a Hub, you use a straight cable. But if you were connecting it to directly to a router or to another PC, or router to another router, you needed to use a cross-over cable
Also A and B are functionally identical, the 2 different standards simple swap the Rx and Tx pins (which dynamically get switched with Auto MDIX anyway, literally zero difference)
You can also use both A and B cables in a line. I.e. if the wiring in the wall was done B standard, and you use an A standard patch cable at either end i.e. A-B-A it ends up again being a normal straight through cable anyway.
Straight and cross-over cables are functionally identical these days, really doesn't matter for data transmission. However PoE is a different matter........... therefore its strongly suggested to always do straight-through cables in every instance and let Auto MDIX handle the data side (as it can't switch PoE pins)
Very clear video. Thanks Mike.

As a 10 year experienced network technician, this is the first time i have seen someone use a copper tape for the shield.most people in the field just twist the shield in one string and crimp it.

Thank you!
Great Video, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Thank you for posting, The thing I al;ways hate when wiring Cat5, 5e, and 6 is getting the wires to line uo in the proper order. I like the comb for the CAT7 connector, letting you put the wires in order and trim them to the same length.
Those connectors are available for cat5e and cat6. They just cost more than standard connectors.
Try passthru connectors - you'll be in love. You can get less untwisted length, fewer pieces to assemble and a lovely way to check the connectors before crimping while the wires are in the plug. If you don't have noise meters and test equipment, I think it's the most reliable for best results!
That's just SFTP - Don't forget the other types of CAT7. Also, some of the Beldon range has the stripe on the white.
Good point and thanks for the feedback!
I have only been able to find SFTP or better... (Well, heavier shielding anyway...), per ISO/IEC 11801, CAT7 must be SFTP.
If it's not SFTP it's not CAT7.
Yes it does... Inland and Monoprice's does also... Panduit doesn't and it's the best you can buy.. At least thats what they tell us.... LOL
@@MrMindlink .
WHAT i have is cat 6 true cable. its got the plastic foil around all 4 sets and a grd wire i dont have ground strands. i use the same connectors as you are using?
Nice demonstration. What a pain it is to put rj-45 connectors on these cables. I am sure with experience it will be easier. Heck I have troubles putting connectors on Cat 6 cables. I like your demonstration , will definitely help me when I have to put connectors on that behemoth of a cable.
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
despite the name, my cat doesn't seem to distinguish between them.
He's probably CAT9 though - get it cat (9 lives) - sorry !

Well presented. Efficient use of my time. Thanks for yours.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
I just bought Cat 7 Flat Ethernet Cable for my Huawei 5G CPE WiFi Router. Will it be reliable for my connectivity? I see most shops are now selling it and very less of Cat 6.
I would say if you have bout it pre-terminated you should be fine. I have used some flat patch cable which has been fine. Thanks for the question.
Cat 7 is basically Cat6Ae shielded. Flat ethernet are generally not rated for gigabit and are rarely shielded.
Thanx Mike.
Much appreciated for the advise and the comfort.
Just one more question.
The flat white Cat 7 that I will will be connected to my Huawei 5G Router which is mounted on top of my roof. There is about a meter from the roof to the router and it will always
be exposed to the sun, rain, wind and all the conditions of weather, will this compromise quality of connection as the flat cables are not fortified like the round cables?
The issue you will have is the standard flat cable is only indoor rated so it will deteriorate pretty quickly. I would make sure you get so outdoor cable. or plan to replace it every once in awhile.
Since the exterior run is short you might try making your own tunnel out of a trashed aluminum lawn chair.
@@brianhack7216 Trashed aluminum lawn chair? That's pretty random rofl. Just a stick of PVC pipe and maybe an elbow or 2 would work just fine.
@@csorrows PVC works as well. The underlying assumption is both materials can be reused for a tunnel. Why pay for something when it can be found for free?

Good point. I guess it is not that short... Thanks for the feedback.
For Cat6 cables, do you use the same RJ45 plug (with inserts/load bar) or can use the ordinary one (without) as what we use on Cat5e cables?
You do not need this type of connectors and you can use standard unshielded RJ45 on Cat 6.. Thanks for the question.
@@MikeFaucher HOLY SMOKES THANKS FOR THE REPLY THIS IS JUST GREAT!!!
@@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731 NP, good luck, and thanks for the feedback.
Make sure you buy connectors rated for cat6, the wire is slightly larger gauge. They don’t have to be shielded, or use inserts, or use passthru design, but they do need to be made for cat6.
Inserts and passthru designs are just to make it easier.
I called Cat(erpillar) and they said they don't use Cat7. So I called the vet hospital and they said they had no idea what I was talking about. So I called a surgeon and told him to close his eyes and listen to your video and he said he was going to recommend your break-through closing up healing technique to all his collegues. He also wants to know where to get the tools!
😀
That looks like a heck of a process. But seems easier than dealing with that rubber middle section. I like the idea of the plastic insert for alignment, in theory. Wouldn't surprise me to find otherwise once I actually try it.
Thanks for the feedback.
the alignment thing is a massive improvement, although i would argue passthrough ends are still better
Mike, I would be running Cat 7 underground rated wire 200' underground in 1" black poly tube from my Netgear Nighthawk C7000v2 router to a PC in my Barn. The Router will receive its connection from a Wall plate fed by the CAT 7 then by Cat 5 to the router. The other side could receive the CAT 7 Directly into the back of the PC.Is this the best way to do this? Or should I eliminate the use of the wall plate in the house and go directly into the Router?
No that should work fine. I would go with the wall plate for convenience. Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, that that actually very nicely done.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
how does cat 7 specyfication deal with parasitic ground loops? are all devices floating insolated from the earth ground, or are there some rules about using shielded and unshielded patch cables with this standards depending on which end is grounded?
i remember that when we introduced shielded cat 5 network (not even cat 5e rubbish) we had big problems with rcd breakers triping between buildings way back and in the end we made all ends floating and only central point of star network had all cables shields grounded and we were even able to push 1 gigabit network trough that few years ago with no problems
You have a valid point however I have not any information on ground loops being an issue when used for shielding and noise protection. Great question but there is little information on this topic. Thanks for the input.
@@MikeFaucher Here in the UK shielded twisted pair has historically been rare however Germany seems to favour it and it's always been a PITA to terminate the grounds without causing the issues @kokodin refers to. The normal solution is providing a network ground separate from equipment ground and only grounding one end of any connection, typically the network cab end which is provided with it's own ground. The potential issues are going to be exactly the same with cat7.
Commercially Cat7 is happening but for domestic installations I'm very sceptical of it's utility. Cat5 easily does 1Gbit and Cat6 10Gb. It's really hard to imagine a practical use for more in the home arriving within the lifetime of anything installed today.
Not much data on any rules but I would say very few are earth grounded and typically use electrical grounds which from my experience has not posed as big a problem as going to earth.
Grounding loops and grounding in general is handled by the end equipment no the connecting cable. This is one of the reasons why NEC moved to ground over N for sub panels in 2006. This issue is also generated by the connected equipment at either end and the (EMI filter method or lack there of) not the networking medium. Luckily most MDF-to-IDF connections are facilitated by non conductive fiber cables. If your using Cat7 on backbone, the connecting equipment if high-end enough to even saturate a Cat7 connection should already include some good EMI filters. You could alternatively include one in-line. Honestly though it shouldn't be a problem at all unless you have some shotty work somewhere electrically.
I guess to sum this up better Drain wires(the bare wire he is "grounding" with on the connectors). Are not actually intended to carry ground for end devices but to facilitate anti-attenuation. The exception to this rule is some specific PoE and CPE Devices that use it to incorporate an interruption circuit for lightning protection.
So when using Cat7 would you have the keystone connectors grounded, or would that have to be done in the networking gear?
Some of the new panels are made to be grounded which is best, however as long as one side is and it is grounded to your networked equipment, you should be OK. You can search for cat 6a/7/8 panels and see what they look like. Great question.
whats the name of that small plastic which you used to guide the cables through perfectly
It is officially called a load bar and comes with the connector. See the link in the description for the ones that I used. Thanks for your question.
if you run them and straighten them out using a draping technique over your finger, no need for the load bar. Once you get them straight they'll go right in. Did tons of cable for a data center and it's the quickest and best way. practice makes perfect but load bar it when your finger's tired! hahah
darkmantis Yep but that requires more experience. Thanks for the feedback.
@@darkmantis69 This is the right way to do connectors. I ain’t wasting my day loading a bar.
@@WilliamWonka Doesn't it provide additional strain relief?
Good work
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Nice video!
Don't you perform a bit error test on a cable?
With the tester I use, I only test connection. I do not have equipment that will check for bit error rates. Great question.
What kind of testing device would you use to verify it can handle a 10 gbps throughout?
Fluke makes a meter that can test all the way to 40G but they are not cheap. I use actually data transfer testing as that is all I have for now.
I'm still using CAT5E. Works perfectly and it's easy to install.
And while only “certified” to 5GbaseT at 40 (or maybe 55) meters, most cat5e cable exceeds the spec and will generally work for 10GbaseT up to 40M. If you use f/utp, s/utp, or s/ftp cat5e cable, with 350Mhz rating, you can essentially guarantee it will work at 10Gb up to 40+ meters.
Cat6 is certified for 10Gb up to 55M. Use one of the shielded variants and you can probably run up 100M.
Because of the larger gauge wire, cat6 is preferable if you’ll be using PoE. That will have lower heat and lower voltage/amperage losses.
Cat5e and Cat6 are both much easier to work with than Cat6a
Yes. But many switches run hotter.
@@bayerbear6770 elaborate / reference? (genuinely interested)
@@beartastic-ftwMore signal attenuation and cross-talk means that the sending modulator cannot employ power save features (reduces power when receiver says signal is to hofh/good).
@@bayerbear6770 most power savings on Ethernet come from the sleep mode/disabling of the phy link, not from reduced power of the active link. So, while you are technically correct, cat6 cabling when used with “green ethernet” compliant switches and adapters can use less power, the difference won’t be significant. Standard ethernet signaling levels are only -2V to +2V at low current, so there isn’t a drastic amount to save.
The savings due to phy sleep generally will far outweigh adaptive signal voltage adjustment. Reduced PoE losses can are where the big potential savings start to kick in.
PoE is becoming more popular, at least in office environments, especially larger installations, but it’s still pretty rare in home or small office environments. However, while I generally would not recommend replacing existing cat5e with cat6 until you encounter a specific reason to do so, I would recommend cat6 for most new cabling, especially if any run is likely to exceed 40m
The Cat 6 twisted pairs have a different gear ratio to each other so they have a different number of twists in a given length, this means when they're all twisted together they form a near-perfect round shape for the outer sheath to be extruded on. Good quality Cat 6 should have a mylar tape layer under the sheath though.
Thanks for your input.
Great vid, though you should learn the difference between UTP, FTP and STP cable. Foil isn't unique to cat7 only.
Thanks for the input.
The shielding has nothing to do with cat6 or cat7. The first is called "Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)" and the second one is called "S/FTP" (ISO/IEC 11801 names).
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair#Cable_shielding
Thank you for the feedback.
@@MikeFaucher The confusion probably comes from the fact that high cat ratings need shielding to achieve the required performance so I don't think you can find cat 7 utp.
c muller I have not seen any. Thanks
@@cmuller1441 UTP Cat7 is not possible as the specification (even though not really official) calls for the shielding.
Not sure if someone else commented, but is there a reason why you didn't use a punch down tool for the keystone termination?
It does seem that when the CAT7 metal connector clamps down and clicks will provide the metal on metal contact to the wire, but at the expense of using pliers on both sides of the catch for the audible click...
Zooming in tighter would have been nicer for the keystone. I've always gotten the way they have both the 568A & 568B color schemes confusing...
All in all, a good video...
Thank you for the feedback. You can use a punch down tool but the way they made this connector you do not really need it because as you pointed out the back of the connector pushes in the back half and pushes in the wire. Thanks for the comment and question.

Please explain flat cabels. IS IT POSIBLE the flat cabels are as good as regular? Fake Cat6A or Fake Cat7 on Amazon in EU?
Good quality ones can be just as good but they use multi-stranded wire iso they are thinner. Mainly used for short patch cables and not in wall.

If you have 5E, and you are hardwired, I would not change anything as is it will not make any difference. 5E is rated at 1 gig for 100 meters. If you are playing online games, you internet connection is most likely your source of lag.

(they're also entirely shielded and longer and won't leave exposed unwrapped/unshielded cables, you're not supposed to have that much unshielded/unfoilded cables going into your plug, the foil should enter the first part of the connector where there's a small square that usually punches into regular ethernet cable as a strain relief; also, it might be irrelevant but I was taught to not cut the shield, but instead wrap it in your fingers and clip it into your connector (when your connector has this feature of course, the copper tape is I guess a good way to reuse RJ45).
So yeah, plugs matter guys ;)
edit: apart from respecting norms, GG45 are also meant to punch in (thicker) solid core wires, instead of multi-strain wires like RJ45/11/12.
I'm know the builders in my new apartment used Category 5 or 5e cables, not Cat 6. Also when you put an electric signal to one of my network cables you detect it not at the RJ45 outlet, but at the coaxial TV cable in the OTHER room. They must have drilled in somewhere where the cables go through and made a mess of them. Anyway I'll have to save-up a LOT to fix that and have all new cables embedded in the walls and have the walls repainted where the damage is.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
There is even cat 5 braided and foiled cables. The difference between categories ethernet cables has nothing to to do with such bonus features.
Can cat7 bend 90 degrees, running from wall to floor? I notice cat7 is thicker and less flexible.
It should be fine. I have that situation and did not have any issues. Thanks.
So I wanna purchase a lan cable for the new ps5 what would you recommend the cat 6 or the 7
For the PS5 go for 6. Thank you.
@@MikeFaucher Why?
@@Sawinglumber Mainly cause Cat7 is not really a supported standard. So never sure what will happen or how it will perform. And cause Cat6e is more than enough for what a PS5 can handle
@@peter9853 Thank you
I actually tried to actually count how many times he actually used the word actually, but I actually lost count after I actually reached infinity. Anyways, it was actually a really informative video on how to actually do the cabling correctly....lol
Thanks and you are right. Early days.
Wondering if you even examined the diagram for the RJ45 connector. The idea is to MINIMIZE the amount of “perfectly straight” UNtwisted segments. That plastic guide should be forced all the way down the wires until it butts up against the still twisted segments AND that should also end up right down near the shielded band. That thing you made will crosstalk among all those straight segments. The ENTIRE idea behind twisted pairs is not to group them, it is because they cancel their own emissions and accept no external perturbations. A half inch of untwisted wire as you have it laid out will NOT handshake out to full rate. The negotiation will always end up at a lower rate and the wires will pass pulses from one set to another which is why it handshakes out to a lower rate.
I recently ran cat6 all around my house and discovered that I had to be very careful of kinks and turning corners. It is fairly brittle and one or more of the wires can break inside the cable. The cat7 looks like it might be even more prone to that. Is it?
Good question but I would guess no. The CAT 7 and 6A are shielded which may help make them stronger but that is just an assumption. Great question though.
Depends on whether it's stranded wires or solid copper too.
@@UditVasu Thanks.
Every wire type has a minimum bend radius, which indicates how tight a turn is ''too tight''. Know and respect the minimum bend radius and maximum allowed pulling force for the wire you're installing.
@@UditVasu stranded should only be used as parch cables. Solid is also called riser cables and is used in locations where the wire should not move ie in walls and rhe radius of the bend should be above 3". I never bend cables below 3"
The adhesive on the foil tape would actually reduce the conductivity of the shield. Especially in a zero volt application like this.
Actually after you crimp it the resistance measures very low
For the time it takes make one end of this cable, let alone both ends, fiber is looking better and better.
Did you watch that fibre splicing video?
Yea you wouldn't be making many of those in a day (at least not and stay sane). And i though making CAT 6 was slow...
Fiber really is the best option for going from MDF to individual IDF’s. From separate racks 6A is more than enough for pretty much anyone except massive tech companies.
Do you know what Crimpers are good for Cat7 and Cat8 plugs?
I just added a link to the video description for the one I use. Thanks for the question.
@@MikeFaucher Thanks and will those plugs work with a cat8 cable too??
@@curtflirt2 If you are going 10Gbe than consider 7 or 6A. check out my video on cat 8. Different connectors for cat 8.
@@MikeFaucher Okay, thank you
I use coloured marker pens to indicate the end of the white wires, just in case they get crossed up. They are getting discarded anyway so it doesn't cause a problem.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
13:10 try scissors sometime for the wire trimming. MUCH neater cut. nicely made video.
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
It literally doesn’t matter what you use to trim. The whole trick of RJ’s is in your thumb/forefinger and wrist motion. It honestly doesn’t even have to bottom out to make a good connection.
