And this Linus, is why you get a cable tester.
I bougth this in a set. 12 bucks only for all the tools and the tester. Totally worth every cent. Edit: And without the tester it was not much cheaper. So do not save to much money, guys. There are minimum system requirements - always. ;)
Yes sir! Not a cheap one
@@HeartOfGermany Not using a tester is insanity. But then, not using a factory crimped cable for such a short run is already pretty crazy. Protip: if you don't do this for a living but still want to crimp your own runs, get the EZ Crimp style crimper and RJ45 connectors for a few bucks more. The four pairs of wires push through the end of the RJ45 connector so you can be CERTAIN you have the correct order before you crimp. Although, it might not have helped in this instance since he had it upside down... The key is just to consistently orient the RJ45.
@@semosesam the funniest part to me is I have that same Klein tools crimper he does, and i always save myself by loading the connector into and checking my orientation. That one makes it easier than the cheaper crimpers too.
@@semosesam Well, this El-Cheapo solution worked fine for me. Never got it wrong. Only had problems with ultraslim cable - these do not want to get crimped. I used a normal piece of cable and soldered it together - no other way possible without a very very fancy plug.

Cheap wire tester. They make like $20 ones that just check for continuity and pair order. Saves HOURS of time.
Or a battery and led
@@girlsdrinkfeck uh what? Sorry but that is a really bad idea for testing. I understand that's basically what cheap cable testers are, but think of actually trying to apply that in the real world.
Well, 12 bucks once, for tester and tools. Does not even need to cost much for a few hundret connections over the years.
girlsdrinkfeck yeah, that doesn’t check pair order on all 4 pairs at once. Also how the heck does a battery and LED help you after you’ve crimpped the end?

Why use a CPU, it's not constant.
Use a heat plate or any thing like a iron. say 100°-150° heat. Then add a cpu cooler, and see if it's a good heat transfer 👍
Well that's probably the point. You're not going to get the same results on a CPU as you would on a heat plate. Things vary in the real world.
Jose Alba My thoughts exactly. You’re trying to test while the CPU heat output literally depends on the moon cycle and moss growth rate. A peltier heater should be used for more reliable results 👌🏼
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
You want to test the interface between the IHS and the cooler for it to be relevant. People will want to know how much of a difference. Also people seem to compare coolers etc with a temperature difference so you need a constant power heat source.
Yeah but how do you get the correct mounting pressure on a CPU cooler with that?

get the rj45 with pass through wires makes life much easier
yup, google EZ-RJ45
TIL :D
Only if you're not connecting the wires backwards. :D
AFAIK in the US the EZ-RJ45 patents have expired and there are tons of cheaper options. Here in the states, Home Depot sells a pair of pads through Klein crimper for $50, and I think they're about the same price on Amazon. From what I remember, the crimp on connectors are a ton cheaper online.
I've started crimping my own ethernet and this made my life so much easier. Got a crimper, pass thru connectors, sleeves, stripper and tester on amazon for less than $40 cad!

Sometimes the best way to deal with things is take a deep breath, and come back to it with a clear head. Thats how I work at least.
Sorta sad that Yvonne didn't troll Linus by walking up to his side and doing a double thumbs up to the camera, or something like that.

We love Yvone videos. Please bring her back!
i've worked in a warehouse where we ran data and security for residential and business. just get a rj45 connector that allows the wiring to pass through and a wire tester, will make life so much easier. we usually gave them to techs who were new but eventually it just became second hand nature.
They have connectors that you have the wire come all the way through. Or a wire tester.
As a Journeyman electrician /data tech I guess I take for granted how simple I find it to make different types of cables
I have crimped a lot of lines in my past and the best thing that I've ever done for myself is to use a dusting tool afterwards that tells you the line polarity. That measures the lines and tells you which lines are connected to what. So it's very smart. I highly recommend that you guys have that lease for your business and if you're doing anything at home. They're not expensive so you don't have to go get a real expensive module but you always have and you always use it in the future. If a network cable is in question, you can always hook it up to the tester and see if it really is good or not. Good suggestions.
Yvonne really SAVED your life there Linus lol!
Linus no one else could be you! I enjoy watching especially when your speeding through some high tech, and I can see your getting it faster than you can speak about it. Truly amazing to watch!
this story is really wholesome
Yvonne is a real one for helping out like this!
Reminds me back in high school when I took a Cisco Networking class. My friend started with a good 1.5 feet of wire and by the time he finally got one that passed the thing was literally 4 inches long.
When I used to install cables for various companies, I would do this all the time because back then there was a need for crossover cables (where you connect two computers together directly or you wanted to use a WAN port directly for some reason). So every now and then, I'd crimp one backwards. I eventually got a tester because it just saves time.
A volunteer job i used to have had be crimping my own Ethernet cables. So fidlly, but fun to do :)
I remember my first field to install network cables for some government entity and I kept clipping them wrongly :-) it's hard to imagine that was 16 years back
A pair of electrician scissors has a ribbed section that is designed to help you straighten conductors on category cable.
As a pre-apprentice electrician, it's very very convenient to run your own Ethernet cables if you purchase the connectors with pass thru and have the correct crimper.
Good tip for untwisting the end of the cable is to use the stripped jacket to break them apart from there you can put them in order and it shouldn’t take a lot of force but you can just move your hand up and down enough to straighten the cable then just cut them to size push them in the connector and crimp it’s not too hard honestly the hardest part for me is putting the cable in the rj-45 because I have shakey hands
In our school, we were taught to crimp ethernet cables without load bars and I didn't even know what a load bar is before you mentioned it. I searched what a load bar is and I wished that my teacher taught us what a load bar is because it would take me a good 2 - 3 minutes just making sure that I cut the wires straight so that the end of the wires are really hitting the end of the rj45 and keeping the wires from moving.
There are actually 2 pinouts for RJ 45 connectors: T-568A and T-568B, where one is with the brown side on the left and the other with the orange on the left. I've seen that old PC to PC wiring manuals suggest pinout A on one end and B on the other. Idk why... But with modern PC's it doesn't matter cuz it can apparently detect different pinouts and work regardless. But for camera or other IoT installations I guess, it does matter since PoE and bad firmware or proprietary software etc.
The variance in CPU heat is one of the reasons why I believe that thermal paste has to be tested with lab heaters/hotplates instead.
That allows for constant and specific heat loads.
I carry around a short bit of cable with a connector on to use as a reference
We have to crimp Ethernet quite often at work and we have these awesome little testers that you plug in and it runs a signal on each line. Then you just make sure it cycles 1-8 and you're all set!
The funny thing is that a cat-5 cable will sometimes work, if both ends are wrong in the same way.
RJ-45 cable testers are essential when making your own cables. It takes just a few extra seconds to plug in the tester and confirm its good. The tester would have indicated one side was backwards by saying it was a crossover cable.
2:18 Getting big Jerry vibes around here.
Never terminated any Ethernet cable myself but I did turn an old cable into a speaker wire once when I ran a little short. Just cut the ends off, twisted the ends of the colored wires together as my positive wire, and all the striped wires together as my negative wire. Probably wasn't the highest quality audio but it did work LOL
If you only reverse the two on the outside edges it'll actually work fine it's called a switch cable and you can connect devices directly without a switch or hub between them if you're in a pinch.
Oh man. I used to do the constant screwing up of cables. Then I got a cable tester and made sure I looked at the diagram every single time. It's a learning process....
Cat7 connectors are significantly tougher to work with them sent previous revision sure to the metal shielding required for insulation. Also I find it much easier to run at least one side to s wall plate and patch from there, that way you're only doing punch downs on the keystone Jack. You can also use keystone punch downs if you presumably are using a patch bay as well. I suppose in the case of mounting a camera you're going directly from a powered switch or dvr to the back of a camera which is worst case scenario for crimps!
Linus, Blackbox do a CAT5 connector called something like EZ Plug. the 8 wires protrude through the front of the plug so you can check they're in the right order before crimping. it also ensures that all wires are the correct length. they also do an accompanying crimp tool that trims the ends. This helps minimise the number of gash ends.
Use Pliers. Grip the sheathing with them. Then straighten the wires. While continuing to hold the wire using pliers as you’ll find they help keep the order with little effort.
Linus: "This is why we're so good together!"
Yvonne: "I gotta get outta here."
I install security cameras everyday and still do this all the time
"I couldn't make the cpu hot"
-linus 2020
I was doing like 20 patch cables a day at one point and not once messed up crimping. I just made like 3 console cables a day but they where never crimped wrong. Also pass through connectors are your best friend.
if you go to home depot sperry has a nice cable tester, just if you use it on coax make sure its not live because the LED will get really really bright then not turn on
As others have said, cable testers are a must, but I'll go one further and this will cost you, but it saves a lot of hassle: get a cable tester that will certify gig or better speed (I got a gig one years ago, ran $200 or so, but worth it). The reason for the recommendation is that it is very easy to turn what you think would be a gig or better speed capable cable into a 100mb one (granted this was using standard connectors, not the EZ ones). As to using the EZ connectors the one thing to note is you will use a bit more wire length. 1/4th inch is the general rule to have open, though I have found if you want to get to the wires themselves, even if you have a crimper/cutter tool, a good pair of 1/2in wide scissors (length I think was six inches, heavy things) with those blades being all metal (really old scissor design) will help get that cable sheath off (and cut the little wires too, if needed). Just be sure to be careful when cutting, go slow. I was doing this with solid CAT 6 cable which had the plastic core separator. Those scissors were also good for cutting the separator out once the inner wire ends were flattened out of the way. After that, it was just a matter of getting things straightened, in order, and pushed all the way to the end of the connector. Still took a while per cable, but the home network has run with this for a little over three years now and the cables are going strong. No issues yet. The ISP, though, that's another story.
Even if you don't have a wire tester, you can still use a multimeter to check the cable.
Protip for making cables. Get the individual wires all lined and then cut them with a very slight angle. This helps a lot when you want to feed them into the RJ45 connector.
Nice to see Linus with Kickass headphones!
I have 100% been there Linus. You need one of those cheap cable testers (has 8 LED’s on both ends - so you can ensure all of them light up, and are in the right order).
This story actually saves Linus... well, from most of things. :)
Loved it, "thank you for sharing". :)
when he was showing the tops of the ethernet cables it's like me with hdmi cables
30% of my home projects go this way. once you drop the ball its hard to recover.
There are tester that specifically show what wires are switched they have saved my buttons so many times
you could use an older CPU and use a multimeter and continuity mode and see which pins pass through each other. then pass a voltage through them and it will heat up. great Scott made a video about a CPU hand warmer
You should check out Steve´s test setup for CPU coolers, they made a tool to specifically address the issue you mentioned about having a consistent thermal load to test the cooler efficiency
idk y but i laughed so hard when i saw that thumbnail
You should look into the EZ connectors the wire passes all the way through the ends and your crimper will cut them off flush you have to buy a new tool but it is so worth it
Please get something like a LANCaster network cable tester!! It will save you so much time with diagnosis!!!
I can make a cable really fast and sometimes better than the factory.. years of practice. the worst was installing CPE's for a WISP, that outdoor cat6 with shielding sucks. Took a bit to get good at that
Had the same problem awhile back, I tried to get a Ethernet cable hanging in
a living space of a basement thru its ceiling and pull the long cable through
the only door out, then throw it all over a duct for straight ceiling cabling,
then stand on a chair and carefully snake the long cable in a hole of a ceiling corner,
sandwiched between the duct, a space smaller then my hand,
and there was a little bump in the way and i had to counteract the weight of the cable somehow and it took like 15 minutes to get it finally to what was my room at the time.
Then I spent like an hour trying to crimp and get the tiny ass cables in the cat5 shelling,
and it never worked through the dozen attempts.
I probably just put the cables in backward every time and didn't notice. xD
So... making rollover cables. I've never had an issue: tab down contacts up, w/o o w/g bl w/bl g w/br br. Or strip-solid alternating, orange, green around blue, brown. Crossover(host to host) swaps green and orange, rollover(console) rolls over.
I got a bunch of CAT6 connectors from Amazon, and the wire size for the cable (Amazon Basics CAT6 cable) I had compared to the connector's wire insert size was too small. Every time I crimped it, the wires would slip sideways and the contact pins would slip passed the cable instead of piercing the insulation. So frustrating and a waste of connectors. All I wanted to do was make some one foot patch cables from my router to my distribution wall socket for the house.
Luke looks completely zoned out for the first minute...
Linus, you are so lucky to have her. Things like this happened between me and my wife, too. All I could do was to laugh about it...as in....laugh about my stupidity.....
I have anger control problem too. I get mad about things that I am struggle with and hurt people emotionally who just wanna help me out. But unfortunately I don't have someone like Yvonne, you got a good wife, take good care of her.
Reminds me of something that happened back in the day when 10BASE2 was still big. The company I worked for got a contract to wire up a medium sized office. A fun thing was that I built them a server running Microsoft OS/2. No that's not a typo. After MS and IBM had a fallout about the future of OS/2 they retained the right to a version of OS/2 that was the primary Outlook server platform at that time. But enough of that and back to wiring up that office.
The company I worked for was really small and I was the new guy. This being the first time I pulled network cable I took a backseat and listened to my boss who was an electrical engineer with many years of experience. Then I went through the instructions for the striping and crimping tools as well as looking over the connectors. We walked the site and drew up wiring maps, discussed placement of network outlets and then it was time to get started pulling cable. Being that it was a reasonably modern office pulling the cables wasn't a problem, but then we started terminating them.
After a couple of days we had everything installed and was for some reason I can't remember sitting around a table terminating drop cables when my boss suddenly stopped me and asked what I just did. I didn't get what he was asking about and he tole me to slowly terminate another cable. So I stripped it, put the center pin over the lead and crimped it.
"There" ha said "What did you do there?"
"I crimped the pin. What about it?"
"Why'd you do that? These networks work with frequencies in the megahertz range. That's radio wave frequencies, you don't have to crimp that pin."
"Yes, yes you do. Are you telling me you didn't crimp any of the cables you've been making sitting here?" I asked.
"No of course not."
"Please tell me you crimped the center in the jacks?"
"Nope" He answered.
"Houston, we have a problem..."
As we hadn't kept record of who terminated what jack we ended up taking a day to re-do every single jack in the office.
What I took away from this was never to assume that people know what they are doing just because they are educated and should know. After that every time I've done something similar I've insisted on going through the basics with anyone I haven't worked with before. An if it was something I hadn't worked on before or if it was a long time since I did it then I took the time to read up on the correct procedure.
I feel you. Ethernet can be so frustrating. Everything seems fine until you relize you put orange first and have to do it all.
Linus needed the tech tip himself
"she solved me being an idiot" the real best reason to have a girlfriend/wife.
Just a thought,
If he's trying to get set temperatures for a CPU loads to test thermal paste etc
Why not have a temperature controlled heater under a CPU heat spreader then you can set any temperature you want consistently
Use a screwdriver and drag all the strands across the metal part of it to straighten it out, much easier.
1:12 Instead of using a CPU to evaluate the thermal compounds, use a hot plate or something made to output a constant level of heat. Maybe a peltier plate would work.
very nice staff he has at LTT
It had been 5 years since I made a cable, which I have made hundreds, and the first mistake was getting it backwards. so I understand completely
First I thought he tried to over clock his network switch.
A cheap cable tester will save you a lot of time in the long run when trying to troubleshoot, for both Rj45 terminated cables and rj45 keystones. i've had to run several kilometres of cabling on several jobs terminating in a patch panel and directly in to rj45 connectors and it;s so much easier to test as i patch than testing at the end and having to pull out of a patch panel and re terminate. the worst part is when the issue is a tiny break somewhere in the middle. had this happen on 65M run of cat6 for an Ip Camera than spanned three floors of a building, cable had got nicked by a metal shaving - i had gone trough at least10 Rj45 connectors and i didn't have a tester with me -after wasting an hour went back to my office and got my tester and cut the cable at roughly the half way point and used the tester then to locate which half the fault was in, luckily it was in the last 30M on the ground floor which was an easy run as opposed to the other 30m which snaked through the rest of the building, up to the third floor then used a coupler to join them, took me 10 mins to rerun the last 30m as opposed to 2 hours it took to run the full 65
get a little testing kit, I use it every time, cheap and really helpful
hes talking about the "we tested another youtubers thermal compound" video :)
Pro tip! Check out pull through / feed through rj45 connectors.
Easier to crimp, Easier to check the wire order before you crimp.
Best thing since sliced bread!
And get a cable tester to verify that you did it the right way. It takes a minute but you don't get hours of headache over bad connections.
If your making ur own cables, get cables from navepoint. They make good cheap cables. I wired my house with their cables and they work great.
luke looked like he did not want to be there, but maybe he was just tired
I did the same exact thing with an ethernet cable at work forever, took me a long time to figure it out.
