About the twisted pairs in the Ethernet cables: They work as what we call differential pairs. Before hitting the wires the signal gets split into a positive and a negative component. Along the run this signal is submitted to the interference sources that hit both wires in the pair equally. At the receiver the positive and negative halves of the signal are summed back to recompose the original waveform. As both (+) and (-) components received the same interference it gets canceled during the sum operation and you get your beautiful interference free signal back. But I think you already knew that :) Keep pushing this great content!

Dave I‘ve just discovered your channel a month ago and binge watched the channel since. As a computer engineering student this is more entertainment than watching netflix at night. I wish I knew you a year ago as I did my Operating Systems class, which is very challenging and requires a lot of will and motivation at the Graz University of Technology(held by Prof Daniel Gruss, who you might know because of Meltdown&Spectre, Rowhammer and Plundervolt vulnerabilities). But it‘s never too late, you‘ve certainly given me a boost in motivation as I approach the end of my bachelors degree. Keep it up!
Love your channel. I learned my OSI model when I crammed networking essentials for my MCSE exam 22 years ago. One of the only useful things still used today.
Dave I thoroughly enjoy your videos! The presentation is friendly, and personable without being elementary. The video productions themselves are top shelf and well constructed. The background is warm and inviting without being distraction. The personality exhibited is endearing. I sincerely hope these continue and have begun binging these while plugging away at work. In shorter words: awesome work man!
@@DavesGarage You have an awesome channel, it will blow up. All of the best channels grow slowly but build a cool community at the same time. Channels that blow up quick are usually low quality click bait. Just keep doing your thing, dude!
@@DavesGarage my wife, my family, my social circle, and even my work associates zone out whenever I start talking about this type of stuff... nice to know there are kindred spirits out here!

@@DavesGarage I'm here since the beggining too. The way you tell the stories or the geek content you upload makes me come back again and again :) Really nice channel!
Ok Ok Ok.... I've really enjoyed many of your videos, Dave, but I couldn't quite put my finger on exactly why I like your thought process and then BOOM there it was... right at 4:01 . Right above your fridge sits my first computer, TRS-80 Model I complete with expansion unit and two floppy drives. I also had the speech synthesizer and one or two other peripherals. Dial up any BBS's lately? Love it. Spent maaannny months in the Editor/Assembler (EDTASM) creating my first Assembly language code and pouring through the commented disassembly listing of the ROM. Fun stuff!
Absolutely love this video, wish I found it earlier. My house is around 24K sq ft, 20 rooms and not pre-wired. I made a choice to use Multi mode fiber instead of copper, a decision I come to regret. Yea the initial investment was much cheaper considering the switches and routers however the cost of transceivers and the lack of PoE messed it all up. Anyone reading this with a big house. DO NOT DO ALL FIBER. Also pro tip for anyone who’s ISP provides an “agitate” fiber. Use a GPON to SFP module.
Dave, this was a great Video and I had all the questions you answered in this video... I now know my upgrade path. thank you, looking forward to the rest of the series
Dude! What a house! You worked bloody hard for it unlike most. Massive respect. Loving your videos. I used to wonder when I was a kid growing up in the 90s / 00s what went on under the hood of systems and it's nice to tune in to find out what was going on back then. Keep up the fantastic work.
Hi Dave, I'm retired System Engineer @ former EMC Corporation. In my time there, we would had realized a project like this with a Symmetrix disk array and a Connnectrix FC switch for your amount of data. Central control of all with EMC Symmetrix Manager.
You sort of explained what a transceiver is when you mentioned the fiber optic option - a unit that is capable of both transmit and receive. Honestly, I have absolutely no reason to watch your videos because very little relates to my use-cases on a PC as far as knowledge required to operate. But I love your content and the way you present it. I enjoy the stories and portions of insight from the perspective of an MS SME. I feel you're one of the "TechTubers" who have truly earned every subscriber you have.
Just ordered a Dream Machine Pro, so pumped after seeing you have this setup too! You explain everything so cleanly, and the simple examples are huge! Keep it up!
The perfect word to describe it. During my apprenticeship someone described our unit as Turnschuhadministration ( literally " sneaker admins"). We actually walked a couple kilometers each day supporting the entire campus.
@@DavesGarage I caught it too, but not regarding SSDs, my sneakernet was with 1.44Mb floppies. My house is wired for 10MB, and it streams from a media server just fine. I'll be moving soon, so there's no point in upgrading. But when I do move, well, this video and the ones to follow will be the template for where I end up.
Hey Dave! Just discovered your channel. Beautiful home. Much more modest place here, but I'm a big fan of Ubiquiti gear and just moved to a UDM Pro and all UniFi. I'm very happy with it. I skimmed the comments and didn't see anything on this, so I thought I'd add just a little color commentary. A transceiver is a combination transmitter/receiver. There are all sorts of them and it's a general term used across all types of equipment. Your explanation is completely fine in the context and I'm not knocking it, just providing a little added context.
For the record Cat5 (without the e) usually only contains two pairs of wires because that standard does not go beyond Fast Ethernet (100Mbit) Cat5e is OK for Gigabit, but was designed for Fast Ethernet with PoE over the other two pairs.
Wow that’s the most ballerific home office I’ve ever seen. When you said Oval Office, I was wondering why you were referring to it in that manner and then whaaaaaaam. Beautiful home!
Am setting up my home lan network too ! This really helped me deciding how to do it. Thank you ! Been here since early 1000 subs. Hope you’re healthy !
Dave, just one comment. I find the videos a bit short. And I then tend to forget about watching the later episodes. Can you make them a bit longer? :) Enjoying your videos with your particular sense of humour.
Interestingly I set my own 10Gb networking at home earlier this year. I knew how to do most of the stuff but 1 thing that just was unforeseen was interesting, and all of this was just to connect directly from my main machine to the NAS box and nothing else. Turns out the 10Gb NIC needs a ton of cooling otherwise it would shut down, and that was not even when it was in use most of the time. And it was not even a faulty NIC!
You're an amazing teacher. Just for clarification, with RJ45 SFP transceiver which are capable of max 30m runs, wouldn't high quality CAT-5e and CAT-6 be good enough for 10G? CAT-5e has been shown to be able to support 10G at around 40m distance and CAT-6 is rated for 10G at 55m.
Note that needs to be good Cat5e cabling, and it also degrades over time. Got caught out by the degrading once, was some cabling I ran in 2005, degraded and couldn't handle 10Gbps on some runs once I tried upgrading, confused me as worked fine for others from the same original bundle. This was at about 30m, so probably close enough to edge. Swapped it with fiber with SFP ports at the ends, that should probably last longer than the house will ever stand, just upgrade equipment on both ends as/when needed (and went with OM4 as OM3 was ~$50 for a 50m run vs $60 for OM4, this was underground in piping that was made for Cat5e, so way more than enough space for fiber).
I have connected the surveillance system of house to an old ADSL modem, and use it for house monitoring using PC and mobile phone, the only thing that was necessary was allocating an static ip address to the CCTV, so it can be accessible again if it reboots. The LAN cables were already installed.
Ha! Did I see crestron system in the closet too? I used to install those in late 90s early 2000s. As others said, looking forward to more of your content. Love the injected humor.
Just recently discovered this channel, I can see it exponentially growing soon. You house is life goals and it's clear you've made some well earned bank by working on the Windows OS at Microsoft back in the day, smart cookie! Keep up the great nerdy content and beautiful presentation 👍🏼 Also make some of your cars a part of the content on you channel more too, I see you have a handful of interesting rides!
Id suggest you only use fiber for distance and extreme bandwidth uses (40Gb>). This due to Fibers inherent issues as well as copper being faster (lower latency) for almost all usecases.
I hope you connected the different buildings with fiber, because if you don't you have the risk that the electric potential is different from 2 building, for example when lightning hits one building it will fry all your network stuff. This is why at least here in Europe different buildings need to be connected with fiber to each other to meet the standard, because fiber doesn't transmit electrical power and so it doesn't damage all your network equipment if the potentials between buildings are too big.
Very nice videos, just found your channel today and have been watching this series. I'm getting a upgrade to a 10G internet next week and need to run some new wires up to my office and figure out how I want to utilize it for my servers. I'm mostly experienced with normal ethernet so all this SFP+ stuff have been a lot ot take in these past few weeks. I'm not as lucky as you, we seem to have regular old CAT5 (not E) in all the cabling throughout the house, cable runs are done a bit adhoc and nothing is documented, and nothing is ducted. So I'm in for a few long weekends running new cabling to the critical places. I have not decided yet if it's worth the hassle to have actual 10G outside the server room and maybe my office. A router for 10G internet isn't trivial to find for reasonable price either.
I just wired my house with CAT 8 and shielded keystones in every room, running to a Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM with shielded RJ45s for 10gbe throughout.
Can you make a video on the phone you have on your office's desk? Do you use a phone system/PBX/KSU in your home? How many phone lines or DIDs do you have?
Nice video. I’m the reverse. Happy with networking and infrastructure, just not so much with the rest APIs :-) Did you consider fibre for cabinet to cabinet runs? Love the ubiquity kit. Good kit for the price. Looking forward to the next video - thanks Dave.
To all of you commenting about Microsoft paying well. Why didn't you buy their stock 20 years ago? I'm sure Dave made his money on stock. And good for him. Thanks for the great content Dave.
FYI I have CAT8 cable (short distance though) to give it an extra umph for my fiber connection to the internet behind a failover WAN router. it actually was a notable difference between CAT6 and 7.
I was just looking at Cat 8 cable the other day out of curiosity. It isn't hard to find. But since my network consists of a 6' strand of Cat 5 between the BGW-210 modem/router and my gaming rig it seemed a bit overkill.
Hi Dave, great video as always. Quick question about your CalDigit dock: what sort and brand of thunderbolt cable are you using for it? I assume you need an active thunderbolt cable for a 2m connection. I’m finding the 50cm one that came with it a bit short.
This may be the only channel that I am subscribed to have rung the bell on...
Wow, thanks!
Dude has an actual "Oval Office" .... mad respect! awesome Dave!!
My jaw was open just with the commodore PET!
Usually the oval office is where you do your reading!
