- Hi, this 'How To' video explains in depth how to install cat6 plugs onto cat6 solid core cable. It shows the difference between cat5e and cat6 plugs and cat5e and cat6 cable. The same process is used to install stranded cat6 cable.
Many thanks Vince

It's amazing what you can do during the middle of an earthquake. Hope the cameraman is ok
The video was very helpful but the person behind the camera must have been epileptic during a massive seizure. Still, the video helped me a lot.
The green wires did not cooperate making it impossible to follow your guidelines exactly, but I got the general idea from your tutorial, so thank you for that. My Klemko Cat6 RJ45 connectors had a separate guide for the wires too, but the openings were staggered 2,1,2,1,2. Had to cut the wires in a stairway. Highest step pair of orange-white and orange, below that single green-white, then pair of blue and blue-white, then single green, finally and on lowest step the pair of brown-white and brown. Shifting on the wire-guide now had become easy and finishing off like in your tutorial leads to instant success.
My Mate VINCE Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to get this right, get the right tools too. I wish you gave a chance for the poor videographer to focus on what you were showing. You're pretty fast for people like us who do not live in your region. Please do not feel offended (I beg you), and keep helping us with your awesome work.
Was looking for a solution for thick Cat6 cable will not fit into regular RJ 45 connectors and found this old video. One again Vince explained everything quick.
Brilliant! - Worked like a dream first time, with one practice go an a short bit of cable - I now have cabled Ethernet off a second unmanaged switch - at the exact same speeds as the patch leads out of my first unmanaged switch which is attached directly to the router. - Power-line adapters just weren't doing it - Great tips throughout!
All for just £20. And half of that was the crimper tool.!
Very well explained and demonstrated. This helped me. I'm about to re-wire our home network. We're using cat 5 that was installed about 20 years ago, with lots of attic and outdoor exposure. I just replaced the RJ45 connectors on one line and they are difficult to keep in line. I didn't know about the testing gadget. I will definitely pick one up as I had to redo my RJ45s after messing up the pairs. Thank you.
I have never done this before. I tried following your instructions. Was able to do it perfectly. Thanks a lot. Great Video
Thank you :-)
Wiring standard in this is T568B
Pin 1 White orange
Pin 2 Orange
Pin 3 White Green
Pin 4 Blue
Pin 5 White Blue
Pin 6 Green
Pin 7 White Brown
Pin 8 Brown.
Seen many videos but his videos are the best, explains every little details. Thank you for the good work 👍
Honestly a very helpful video as always. Using CAT 6 spool, I've actually ran long fairly long ethernet leads this way. Once you memorize the order of the colors, you could easily make hundreds of cables of various lengths for any device you own that supports ethernet. Not to mention that they can also be used for HDMI over ethernet.
This is excellent Vince. Thank you for your time and expertise
Thank you for the clear instructions and sharing your knowledge. Very well prepared for your video with all the visual aids to help us newbies know what is needed and how to use it.
Fantastic demonstration and explanation. Thank you for sharing.
thank you it worked like magic and now i can easily connect long distant Ethernet to router by myself
Great presentation, easy to follow, many thanks!
Thank you Vince! Well done.
Thanks for the video, helped me wiring my attic
Thanks buddy..very clear and to the point...
your videos are informative and your instructions are clear. thanks for the cat 5e and 6 difference video.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Excellent video,very helpful !
This is the best cabling video on TH-cam Ive made my first cable and all 8 pce lights are lighting up. Question if they all are lighting up on my cable tester is my cable 100% good and optimal?
thanks for the vid. very clear. now i can watch 4k on my new tv.
Thanks mate, for the info. Now I can do it myself today.
Explained well Vince but this may help you and your watchers. To make it much easier to work the Cat 6, before cutting the center white nylon separator, grab it with your pliers and stretch it out of the main cable and then cut it as far in to the cable as possible.
Would this be bad for performance in any way? Increased crosstalk or someone like that? I really like your idea cause I bought an Cat6 cable for outdoors (less flexible) and I only have "normal" rj46 plugs.
Peter Goodger I'd like to know this to please
I’m really annoyed as I’ve now wasted 21/2 hours doing exactly what you’ve said in that every single rj45 connector I used never worked as the wires kept springy out as the blue and white blue crossed over the rest of the wires which in turn failed at every test.. I’ve now bought the correct rj45’s with the load bars and now hope these work better otherwise I’m giving up..
Thank you for The video but wish you would’ve been clearer on the video and used the correct wires / connectors plus used them in situe as anyone can wire a wire when all you have is 2’ 🙄, I appreciate its to show and demonstrate the easiness of doing this and I even saved these videos to watch over again and did that exact thing 20 plus times..
Perhaps what I should have said is the connectors I have are cat 5 ones which came as part of the starter pack, if I new these wouldn’t have worked I would’ve bought the correct ones with the load bar and saved myself a lot of time.
Thank you ...now i know what is cat5 & cat6
I like Vince. Im learning a lot. Top stuff
ryantcb Thank you sir, I appreciate that.
You are just good bro...keep it up.
thanks,learned some thing from this video.
Great teacher. But the videographer taking this video did not justify how well the teacher made this presentation. Would have been better off with a tripod. The zooming in and out and out of focus ruined this presentation. But in terms of content, this presentation is a keeper.
Nice video, thank you.
Really helpful
Thanks, great video.
Thanks for the tutorial!!
Bula
Excellent instructional video.
Par Excellence !

this perfect video tq sir
great zoom work guys. now I don't have to get on a boat to get seasick. otherwise awesome video, but the zooming is just out of this world. blows my mind!
let me try and give you some constructive feedback. you know how you zoom in perfectly, and then you zoom in wayyyyyyyy too much every god damn time? just skip the last part.
Vince, thank you m8. First time using my cable crimping kit, flawless execution!
Here's a like for now, will check out your ebay shop when I innevitably need more supplies.
Also! I used a video of black ink in water for my website's background too, so mesmerizing. Good taste ;)
Rip, your ebay shop.
Oh, by the way, nice video young man!!!
Clean and clear. Thanks to presenter.
Thank you :-)
Great tutorial, I tried myself and it wasn't easy I rather buy new cables.
I thought you could use the same plugs for cat 5 and cat 6, I have and they work great. The trick is to make sure that they wires go all the way to the ends.
you can. I use cat 5e adaptors on a cat 6 cable. The wires are thicker on 6 but still fairly easy to insert. I just learned that if you use ethernet for source to source, it has to be a straight connection. If you try to place say an ethernet outlet jack in the middle. It will not work.
The cat6 plugs perform the same with test equipment, outlets, and devices? What is fundamentally different that the cat 6 connector could not be used on a cat5e cable?
thanks a lot mate! just had battled with feeding thoroughly thick cable through a tiny hole so hat to chop off one side and this helped a ton! Slight issue - dont test this method using cat 5e cable - my tester showed the 3 and 4 were switched XD OOPS
Congratulations on an excellent video. Unfortunately, your cameraman has let you down.
Vince, what cat5e, cat6 cabling do you use as I noticed when you cut the sheath it snaps clean. I have bought cat5e in the past and the sheath was far to soft to get a clean snap.
How do you test the connection with one only end done? I'm getting nothing through the multimeter so I'd like to know if the cable has actually married into the connector.
Hi Vince can you advise me, i want to fit a 6 terminal modular plug to a round cable about 6 to 7mm in diameter....what plugs do i need if there is such a thing...think its an RJ 11 or 14? what i am doing is making a short microphone lead with a 6 pin one end an 8 pin the other, adapter lead....the original peice of lead looks like a router /modem lead from Fred in Essex.
Nice vid.. I have Cat6 cable that doesn't have the center plastic piece I wonder why that is
So say you have cat 5e adaptors and used it with a cat 6 cable. Will it still work? I notice it does if you connect it straight to a source say media to projector. I tried to add an outlet in the middle and that was an epic fail. Then I read that if you install an outlet jack it's only for internet speed? I'm using an HDMI extender that uses cat 5/6. My thinking was make it cleaner but i guess if it's going from one source to another you have to have a straight connection.
Great video! Weird my cat 6 did not have that white plastic in the middle.
Thanks
Hi mate, I've just priced and won a small job.. It's 888 rj11 plugs on cat 6 cable. Can you advise me what tools to buy I've not done rj11s since college. Any input will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Good video, you make it look so easy lol. I can't get it right yet
So you said that 5e and 6 have different connectors. Does this mean that cat6 wont fit in regular cat5 routers?
If you forget to put the strain boot on, you can always add it when you are doing the other end of the cable. All is not lost until the second crimp.
I love your video's - so good. Q for you. Ive laid 2 x 50m underground cat 6 cables for CCTV and had the ground covered over :-(. Ive tested cables with tester. 1st cable - all of the lights light up perfectly. 2nd cable the 8th light doesn't light up so theres a fault either with the plug or the cable - would this mean that the CCTV camera wouldn't work ? would that 8th cable be essential ? ( didn't want to put a new plug on if the 8th cable wasn't crucial - whaddyathink ?
how to provide individual static IP for every individual 150 computers? (connected with 24 port switches)
need help immediately please help
Not all Cat 6 connectors are like the ones you used. I have a box sitting in front of me that have all the pins in a straight line, like the cat 5 ones. These are a 3 part connector and unfortunately require a different crimper. Part 1 is the plug itself. Unlike the cat5 plug, it has no pin guides built in. It uses part 2 ... a sled which serves as the wire guide. Part 3 is a separator to help in ordering the pins and stops one inadvertantly untwisting the pairs back into the sheath. I just wired two cables using these connectors and both failed. Turns out that the teeth on the connectors failed to dig through the cable insulation despite a very firm crimp.
Can i cut a cat 6 or 7 cable and just use 2 wires to connect to a jr11 plug and will it work?
Very good video. I also has same video in my channel
I have Cat6e flat wire and it's totally different , it doesn't look anything like the one you are working with. Can you post a video on how to install a plug on a flat cat6e wire?
VG Thank you
Thanks you.
Tried this a few times on cat6 with EZRJ45 crystals but keep getting capped out a 100mbps. Any thoughts or ideas?
Could you be mixing 100mb with 1g? That would slow down things to 100mbps for a simple network.
thank's....................
GREAT VIDEO.!!!! please, i need to contact you to clarify some questions
Hi great video but what I don’t understand you can buy a ready made cat 6 cable far cheaper than making one such as 25m cat 6 of eBay £7.99 then to make the cable yourself proberly 2/3 times the amount then you have to buy the tools
Or are the ready made cables not as good as your own made ?
Getting your perfect cable length is hard to find using ready made cables. The cables that are too short are just that - too short. But the cables that are just a little bit too long? That's the real pain.
I’ve never seen any High-Low RJ-45 Cat 6 Ethernet plugs in my local hardware and home Improvement stores here in South Texas. I’m guessing that in England and Europe, Ethernet cables have different standards, than the States do???.
I tried fitting my Cat6 in the rj45 but it’s not firmly holding.
It seems it’s the slim type
What do I do?
What's the difference between the two piece connectors and a single piece one ?
***** Nothing performance wise, the only difference is the way you install them. With the 2 piece you install the wires into the guide and then push the guide and wires into the plug.
+My Mate VINCE where does one get the single piece connectors? is there are particular name for them?
My problem is I go to all this work an inevitability two of the wires get crossed going into the plug, then it's wasted.
Same for cat6a?
Can I put a cat 6 cable into a cat 5 plug?
Sooooo frustrating as a newbie..I can`t keep them inline..I hold them up and they stay where they are suppose to, then when i go to push them in the Ethernet plug I can hear the wires say, " oh no you don`t, i`m going in there.. (-:
I have such a hard time with the wires crossing over each other when I push them into the connector. I flatten them out, get them all nice and straight and they all end up out of order by the time they get through the pins. guess i just need more practice
Hi Vince, is there such a thing as cat6e cable? it certainly looks like that written on the cable.It has solid colours re the inner wires, NO stripey colours.
Hi, normally it is cat6a but some manufacturers do have cat6e. If you bought that cable from eBay then there is a chance it may be fake as I tested some cable that matched that description and it was fake. Strip a bit back to see if the core is silver or gold (copper). The fake one I had was pure aluminium and had very few twists in it. If it looks like copper and has goods twists on it then the white/orange wire will be the white wire wrapped around the orange wire and for example the white/blue wire will be the white wire wrapped around the blue wire.
Hi Vince, thank you for replying, What i have done is ordered cat 7 cable from amazon, it's basically for my son who plays xbox but i will order cat 7 on bulk to network our home going by the instructions you have done via youtube.
excellent videos please keep it up. is it possible to make a video on how to fit a rj11 plug to cat5e cable?
Sam Jones Hi, good idea! I have added it to my list. I may try and do a couple of videos this weekend.Cheers Vince
Sam Jones Hi, I have just finished uploading a video on how to wire rj11 plugs onto cat5e cable if you would still like to watch it.Thanks Vince
Hi buddy
I want to try and get cat6 faceplates in almost every room if the room has a phone line can i pull it through and just change the faceplates, and would each lead need it's own port in the router or can I hook up to one faceplate /master socket to link to the one Lan connection hopefully u understand the ramblings of a novice ;-)
gavin2678 Hi, unfortunately each cat6 faceplate needs its own Ethernet port in the router so you will quickly run out of ports and then need to install a network switch. You will have to run one cable to each cat6 faceplate so quite a bit of wiring will be involved. It is different to telephone wiring because with telephone wiring you can link one socket to the next socket because only one socket can be used at any one time but with network wiring each socket can be used even if the other sockets are in use.Hope this makes sense.Many thanks Vince
Hi Thanks for the reply. If I get a switcher would I only need to use one connection to the router and connect all other cables to the switch. Thanks again
Hi, yes that is correct.
Thanks Vince
Out of focus is the key in this
I saw plug sold on ebay saying applicable for Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 Cable. Is it fake??
+king lee They are probably cat5e plugs as some people do not know that the cat6 crimping plugs are staggered. Maybe look for plugs that are listed just as CAT6 plugs.
good
I hate the plastic divider big time, with external cat 6 you can't stretch and cut it so it pings back inside the PVC sheath.
I want to do some networking
Thank you
Brits always say "Rooter" :D
That's clearly the proper way to spell it when dealing with people who say it like that.
Americans always say Rowta :D
Well that depends on whether you are talking woodworking or networking.
It's really difficult to organize the wires without a bracket
good vid! please move slower. i still liked it allot. just gooo sllllloowwaaaa.. cheers!
I have the same constructive criticism as many others - great content, amateur camera work. See you later, I'm off to get my sea sick meds.
white-orange , orange, white-green , blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown
Did Jack -the Ripper do the camera work ...???
Content is good thanks. But the camera work let's it down..
You are crimping cat 6 cable into cat 5e plug, sir.
This video is completely wrong for modular rj-45 plugs in the US. You are completely missing pieces of the plug you need.
Bang , bisa bahasa Sunda gak?
hes cute
Unbelievably terrible camerawork
Think the cameraman is blind. Sad cause hed explaining it very well.
Bad tutorial with zoom and blur.
(4:50) - Each spline.
Each fucking "spline"
How difficult is it to look up the exact word you want before making the final shoot?
Come on Vinnie.
You can do better!
