You forgot a MAJOR step in this video. You're supposed to waste the first 5-10 minutes telling use lots of pointless trash; i.e., where you went to elementary school, your dogs name.... You get the point. Instead, you got straight to the point and didn't waste my time. Get it together before you make another how to video!
I bought a cheap cat 5e/6 connector kit on Ebay (tester, connectors and crimping tool) but had no idea how to use it. You just taught me how. Took me about 6 tries to get it right but I did it! I just hardwired my wife's home office and 2 bedrooms upstairs. With my new ethernet connector IT knowledge I also Added some Ethernet switches throughout the house. No more streaming issues. You are the man. Thanks for this extremely useful video 😁!
Thanks for demonstration, after a decade of being challenged on this task as a Colorblind (Difficulty with light color), I was able to verify with packaged ethernet cable on the coding. Please keep it up and thanks again for the tip. 🙇🙇🙇
Thanks for the video! Btw, the wiring shown in the video is for T-568B. In my case, I had to use T-568A where striped green and solid green are first due to the wiring of the cables to the jacks in my house’s wiring closet, otherwise my cable tester indicated the cable was a crossover.
As long as both ends of your cable are terminated the same, A and B can be used interchangeably. There is anecdotal evidence that the B standard has less crosstalk in certain implementations requiring very high bandwidth but nobody has been able to measure any difference. He does need to at least mention that there are two standards though - some organizations have their policies requiring use of a particular one.
Brilliant video due to a house flood we are hard wiring our home. Your video was great and I especially like the graphic for colour order you put into nicely explained clearly and clear good focus video too. Thank you from the UK.
Funny how easy you made it look... other vids have so many steps that i feel like i have to pause it at every step.. this was so straightforward... thanks...
Very nice and straightforward instructions. Especially that picture about the correct wire order is very useful. The wire order is what one can't figure out by common sense.
about to install survelience in my house and i have poe cameras, going to invest in a box of cable and crimpers and give it a go. will find out soon enough if im successful :) much appreciated.
The tool u are using has a built in sheath stripper did u know this? So was no need to using the first tool AND u wouldn't have cut wires too short as the Trend Tool is measured for length. So u would insert cable, close, remove wire and the outer sheath is cut exposing the 8 smaller wires to the EXACT length:)
In my experience in using these built in strippers, is that they end up cutting into the inner-wire as well. In theory, you put the cable through and cut it off on the one side, then when you release it it has scored the outer insulation so you can just pull it off. 90% of the time, the blade has also went into the inner-wire as well making it either 1.) broken, or 2.) brittle, exposed. It's best to use a dedicated stripper like he did in the video. After doing it for a while, you get a good feel for how long you need to make it.
Thanks, worked out perfectly on the first try! One thing you don't mention is that the individual wires are not always so clearly marked as in your example. In my case, I needed a magnifying glass and some imagination to identify the different color wires. But it all worked out.
I wired as he instructed - same colour layout at each end - and it produced a regular network cable (non switched/crossover). Unless something strange is going on in the cable itself, then for a regular network cable you could probably put the colours in any order you like! - although someone out there probably would tell me otherwise!
It's not working for me. My tool cost 40 euros. Is that considered a "cheap" tool? I've only tried twice, but based on other people's comments, I shouldn't have had a problem. Tips?
my cable end was all melted and messed up so i did this, checked the pins were in the right order and my cable still doesnt work ); thanks anyways great tutorial
Im not getting any link light.. please assist whats missing? I tried 568A and 568B but still no link light, my Cat ate the cable so i had to cut from where it was damaged and crimp using the crimping tool but IT JUST WONT SHOW THE LED LIGHT ON MY LAPTOP ANYMORE LIKE IT SHOWED BEFORE😢
your crimping tool has a wire stripper and cutter. You have failed your audience about differences. Still can't not give a like as you have successfully by passed my college pain.
Everyone give this man a like for such a straight to the point and helpful video
Agreed and done
Woo Hoo. I just made my first two connectors and the internet is working in our new out building. Thank you so much.

Gave enough info during the first minute and a half to get me through the job. Very succinct. Keep up the good work on any future repair videos

Very simple and straight to the point, great vid.
Thank you. Prefect little refresher for the evening. Now I’m ready to instal that camera system tomorrow.
Thank you... I did my first two running a 100 ft of CAT6 and it worked!!!!
Funny how easy you made it look... other vids have so many steps that i feel like i have to pause it at every step.. this was so straightforward... thanks...
Very simple video, got straight to the point no unnecessary explanations. Thank you.
Thanks this really helped

Thank you for posting this video. It helped me repair my ethernet cable.
You're great keep it up
Thank you for the simple clean video. Very nicely explained. Helps enthusiastic noobs like me to diy a home network. Keep it up
Thank you. It helped me in my A+ preparation
Hey thanks a lot, this video was concise and perfect for my needs. It’s been a number of years since I’ve had to do this so thanks for the how to!
about to install survelience in my house and i have poe cameras, going to invest in a box of cable and crimpers and give it a go. will find out soon enough if im successful :) much appreciated.
According to the instruction kit I bought, you want to cut the little conductor wires to 1/2 inch (13 mm) long.
Perfect instructions sir! SuperMegaFast internet connection in my garage - the other side of a 4 ft wall! Thanks :)
thanks for the video. Haven't made a connection in years so this was a great refresher.
It's clear and useful thank you🙏
Will this order work for attaching cat6 cable from router to PC? Thank you.
Good and honest video bro!.....
Greetz from Australia. :)
Nice and short. Up to the point.
A big thank you to you
Great video, especially the instruction on wire order, thanks.
Thanks for a great how to video...
thank you boss for making it to the point
Great video, straight to point!
Very concise tutorial. Thanks!
great video. Question - Are cat 5/6 wires the same colour in the UK and USA?
For some reason it always take me hours to do this to crimp them and I have a all the right tools with me.
I just riuned 10 connectors, probably the hardest thing I've tried in my life.
Thanks. Very helpful.

Thank you, I'll try!
Super informative and straight to the point, thank you!!!!!!!!

Thanks bro really helpful
Great video
is this for a straight through or crossover cable? The other side of the ethernet cable would be the same color convention?
I wired as he instructed - same colour layout at each end - and it produced a regular network cable (non switched/crossover). Unless something strange is going on in the cable itself, then for a regular network cable you could probably put the colours in any order you like! - although someone out there probably would tell me otherwise!
Thank you so much. It helped.
What connects the crimp contacts to the wires, as you didn’t strip the cable coloured wires?
does untwisting the pairs cause any issues ?
Excellent video..👍👍👍👍👍.
Easy thanks again👍👌
Instructions worked perfectly, thanks.
Damn awesome man, thank you
what was the first device ? what it is called .. from which you cut strip off cover of the lan cable to trim ? @ 0:49 timeline
A crimper and wire stripper I'm pretty sure.
VERY GOOD
Thanks
Excellent
effing amazing
Thank you.
It's not working for me. My tool cost 40 euros. Is that considered a "cheap" tool? I've only tried twice, but based on other people's comments, I shouldn't have had a problem. Tips?
Pause at 1:40 if you need to.
thanks
Thanks!
my cable end was all melted and messed up so i did this, checked the pins were in the right order and my cable still doesnt work ); thanks anyways great tutorial
nice cate5
Thx bro
Perfect....
I am about make my first connection will update in a few minutes, omw home
it workeddd perfectly, i just my made my first 5ft ethernet cable. thank you boss
Why did that guy use separate tool for wire stripping? That crimp tool can be used to strip wires? Hmm? Didn't he know that?
Im not getting any link light.. please assist whats missing? I tried 568A and 568B but still no link light, my Cat ate the cable so i had to cut from where it was damaged and crimp using the crimping tool but IT JUST WONT SHOW THE LED LIGHT ON MY LAPTOP ANYMORE LIKE IT SHOWED BEFORE😢
Pious Hadebe make sure to fully inspect your cable from end to end. Also, check to see if the white/Orange is to the left with the jack pins facing up
That's why you have to have a Ethernet cable tester
Lining them up like that is horrible. Its way easier to put them in one by one, then crimp.
you cut it toooo short
u cut the cable LAN too short bro
your crimping tool has a wire stripper and cutter. You have failed your audience about differences. Still can't not give a like as you have successfully by passed my college pain.
Thanks
thanks
