The vacuum idea is amazing!
Old video but nice job brother. I like to use clear silicone on those outer surfaces to keep that nice look. The other thing is that I usally go with a larger conduit and use flex pvc instead of rigid. If I do work like laying a driveway over etc it will move without cracking during the construction phase but not collapse. Also lets me pull cable a bit easier. However it is much more expensive.
Very informative. I'm putting up a new 32x60 foot building soon, and it would be nice to trench network cable out to it. I appreciate you sharing this information with the rest of us!
Great work! Running Ethernet tomorrow and using your vacuum trick
Loved it. Never knew the 360 rule.
Great Video. Pass-thru ethernet plugs are much easier to use to make predictable connections, I never mastered cutting the wires to the right length to fit the plug,
If it were to get too tight for a normal pull, they make a cable gel. Cover the cables and it pulls through so much easier.
Thanks so much for putting this video together. I really appreciate it
Good on you. Nice video. I've done similar projects and enjoyed you talking about this one. I found you because I just ordered 1,000 feet of gel-filled direct burial cable for a similar across-the-yard project. Thanx for sharing, sir.
Be careful with Ethernet and runs over 300 feet. You will lose signal and need an Ethernet repeater.
dude you are an awesome teacher! I didn't even know about cat 7 lol
Connection A is for Cross over connections I believe.
Connecting 2 of the same devices together type of business
no caulk color that matches mortar? ;-) enjoyed your video.
I did cat 8 because why not. The last thing I want to have to do is dig up a direct burial cable. Because that will not be an option. If you’re doing a direct burial cable go up the absolute highest that is available on the market because the last thing you want is to realize 30 years down the line that it wasn’t sufficient. Also I don’t know about you in 30 years I don’t think I’m gonna be physically able to do anything about it even if I wanted to. I’m not getting any younger.
The goo is probably silicone dielectric grease. It is fully non conductive. Great at keeping water and corrosion at bay. Why does your route curve so much? Is there an obstacle in the ground your going around. After watching your video if I was using two cables I would use 1" conduit.
Great instructional video!
Absolutely the most documented procedure I have see. On you tube. Are you a surgeon?
Ideally, the untwisted wire should be as close to the keystone jack as possible. There shouldn't be what appears to be a half an inch of unsheethed + untwisted pairs hanging off the back of it. It's probably not an issue here since this doesn't appear to be close to a max length cable run but it's still best practice to do it that way all the time.
Any thoughts on grounding, once the cable passes to indoor?
This is what I was curious about. Lots of people show outdoor POE cameras and Ethernet, but nobody talks about grounding.
isn't it a bit of an overkill to protect a cable which is already protected enough?
That's what I thought 2 years ago. I used direct-burial CAT6 cable just like in this video, and I buried it without conduit. A week ago it failed. I have no clue what happened, but I figure some underground critter gnawed through the cable. Now I have to dig the 120-foot trench again. I don't want to do this a third time, so I'm using conduit this time!
Pro Tip: If you want to make two runs off the same spool simultaneously, run off the length for one run. Attach your fish tape, fish sticks, etc to the wire. Basically in the middle of the two runs then pull or push thru. Obviously be mindful as some can be directional (HDMI).
Prefer the cameras wired in. These are the clues into when you're dealing with an intelligent person.
i can promise that CAT 7 will never be recommended :)
Do you think routing the ethernet cat5e cable outisde or through between the walls is a better solution? I just recently bought a Lorex 4K NVR box link below:
@t
And the Ethernet cable that came with the set is a CAT5E 30m cable. Link below:
@t
Do you think what will be the best practice for a longer life span for wires / better performance for video / data quality. I live in Canada and here the temp can go from -20 degrees to all the way to +40 degrees in summer. So what would be the suggestion for me. Here in Canada we have brick wall outside and in between, there is drywall and wood. What will you recommend?
Look at the spec sheet.
Looking at the buried cable I see it can go to -40 and up to 70 deg C
I guess how hard is it to route the cable?
If it is easy use what you got and if it fails replace it.
If it is hard to route you may want to get a better cable so you don't have to reroute it again :)
@@Whiteboardcoder thanks for your reply. I think I will route via inside
Future if you go this way I would use a LB and then you are not fighting your way though the house.. Right now I am not sure why you choose the route you took I am sure you have some Reason.. But had you used a LB at the house you can remove 2 screws and you will have in the back top of the box a Straight into the house rather then the way you have things now.. Also that seems little far out from your home for being secured down.. Also Cat 7 Don't Refer people to it .. IT will not be use and will be Passed on for Cat8 .. Also keep in mind that all the Views that is watching this please when you are looking for your Cat5e or Cat6 or 6a there are people out there that is selling JUNK CCA cables and that is no good You want 100% true cooper wire don't buy JUNK CCA cables you will only hate your self later trying to save a few dollars.. I learned the hard way costing me a good chunk of change to replace one of my POE PTZ cameras... CCA will damage POE devices maybe not cheap POE cameras or routers buy Good quality hardware hates CCA cables.. CCA for the ones that don't know is Cooper Clad Aluminum and in some cases you don't even get that.. Also for the ones that have some Pulling issues... There is LUBE for the TUBE... Just keep that in mind...
What's an LB...?
A couple of years ago I learned about junk cable when I noticed that the 3 foot section of old Cat5 cable from my gateway to my computer was transmitting at half the speed I was paying for; after checking everything else, I replaced that patch cable with a short CAT6 cable, and the speed doubled and went to the speed I was paying for. Now I I have 1Ghz into my house and use Cat8 everywhere I need a wired connection. The performance difference is amazing.
so dry.
Welcome to Colorado :)
I learned doing this exact same activity, that if 1” conduit looks just right, use 2”. If 2” looks “good enough, use 3”.
I would have put the cat 5 wires into a different box than the 120 volt outlet. Code says that high voltage and low voltage needs to be separated into different compartments if it's in the same box, or in different boxes. Should get electrical permits and have an inspection. The inspector would have brought that to your attention. Also add up the degrees of the conduit bends from pull box to pull box. Total bends should not exceed 360 degrees, else add pull box along the way to break up run into two to keep each half under 360 degrees.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Byron Aarav instablaster ;)
@Anson Emmitt Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Anson Emmitt It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Byron Aarav you are welcome =)
Found this today 5/2022 and wanna cry. The pvc is over $8 now. Need 80’ and just have to bite the bullet. Informative it backed up what my electrician suggested to me. Good job n
17:40 isnt running the power cable along the ethernet a bad idea? I read that it causes interference!
BroTip: instead of putting a male end on the switch side, put another box, then attach to the switch with patch cables. It's a more finished look than dangling wires, and costs less than a patch panel.
1. Terminate solid-core cables to jacks rather than to plugs. Use patch cables for the last few feet between the jack and the device.
2. Use pass-through plugs to speed up termination time.
3. With 3/4" conduit you're probably not going to pull a new wire unless you pull the existing ones out first.
4. Any reason you didn't use an LB?
I think it's great you are doing all this yourself but, you've done something incorrect. According to what I know of the NEC (national electric code) you haven' put your electric wire deep enough. Did you get a permit for the electric ? Did you have it inspected? With no permit or inspection you run the chance of problems not to mention fines and the prospect of re-doing it all later correctly.
So long as he called blue stakes
To have them survey so he doesn’t hit utility line/comm line/ water etc, not a big deal running to a new outlet. But if it is in conduit, electrical should be just basic Romex, if you use underground rated electrical it can potentially cause a fire due to heat inside the conduit. Looks good to me! I would have used some wire pulling lube to make it far easier to pull, especially with 360’deg of turns and bends
You sir, are an excellent teacher!! Thank you so much!!
Not bad, lots of good information. Your keystones should be re-done, you want proper keystones, and you want the jacket inside the keystones.
“Do B. Nobody does A”
A is needed for other purposes. For instance, a Crossover cable. Which is A on one end, and B on the other.
what the hell? just for an ethernet cable?
Cause... reasons!
No Reason to buy cat5? Cheaper doesn't count? What if you are running shitty DSL with a 15mbps bandwidth? \
Unless you have decided that in your life you will always use 15Mbps DSL, no reason not to buy Cat6. In fact, most reputable manufacturers do not even make Cat5. But, you can live in the 90s and think the world will never change.
@@kirktitgen6395 I mean, I had already purchased cat6 for my shitty DSL when I commented lol because you are generally correct - I'm just picky about absolutism ;)
@@noxid86 I know what you mean. I am finishing my basement and just ended up running 300' Cat8 Class1 cable for connecting my NVR and Access Points. If I don't have to rip my drywalls in next 10-15 years to run ethernet cable, I am good with that. I have seen technology really taking off in few years - 3 years back our datacenter switches used 40G connections and now all our switches uses 100G QSFPs.
Well...if he's connecting LAN devices like cameras, etc. then the internet speed COULD be totally irrelevant. Also, if you're powering a camera, POE will work better with a better cable. Then you've got interference. The higher grade cable, the lower the interference will be. In a few years when he's got 4k, 8k, whatever cameras, pushing POE, etc. yeah it might make a HUGE difference. But I agree, right now, with one low grade camera, 5e would PROBABLY be fine. Still, if you look at all the effort he's put in digging trenches, laying pvc, buying tools, etc. is it really worth a 40 dollar savings to get a product that is moderately inferior? I think not but you decide.
Great video! Super helpful! Thank you!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I think you went a bit overboard with PVC pipes, etc.
We ran CAT7 burial cable 100 feet to a house on our property and had issues when lightning struck close by. An electrical field was created and totally fried our modem. Does CAT6 have the same problems or is it safer since it doesn’t have aluminum shielding?
Its worse than cat 7. Learned my lesson. Best to use optical fiber.
Really cool video, thanks for sharing
Any concern about lightning strikes potentially frying things?
I have thought about that or bad actors trying to fry my internal systems
so I do/will always have a separate router for my outside connections so it won't take down my internal router.
But maybe there is a better way to handle this.
I would just run a fiber optic cable inside the existing PVC pipe ( the one with power cables).
