Great Video and great series over cabling!!! I don't know if you have heard about modular Patch Panels and Keystones that are Tool-less such as Panduit keystones. a Video idea for you is that you could do a video over Tool-less keystones vs punch down Keystones!.
A good tip the CAT5e ends, to get the right length. Is just measure it against your finger nail, then cut. Most of the time that is just the right amount or a little over so then you can cut a bit more back. And to straighten the cables just run them along the barrel of a screw driver.
There's two standards for crimping cables, T586A & T586B. Using these standards means certain wires are twisted together to negate the impact of interference inside of the cable, which helps make sure your cable doesn't cause all sorts of headaches and errors down the line. Usually, we use T586B, unless we're making a crossover cable where we would crimp 586A on one end and B on the other (cables for connecting a switch to a switch or a router to a router, etc.). Working to a standard also helps the next guy out so he doesn't have to figure out how you've crimped your patch cable/panel at the other end. Don't forget the next guy is usually you.
In short, talk bleeds over, think of how radios you can hear others stations coming in. Because of PoE setups (the reason) this wire arrangement is arbitrary SAVE for the contention of keeping the loudmouth lines furthest from each other for signal fidelity. Hence the two "standards" you can also think of the silly hacks that installed car steroes and ran the power line down the same line as the modulation to the speakers. So everytime the the alternator would wind up (increase RPMS's) you would hear it in your speakers (shoulda ran it along the other side maybe AWAY from that line etc. ). So the chosen order is essentially to prevent this crosstalk.
Would highly recommend people not punch down Keystone/Mechs in hand. From personal experience that cutting edge is evil and is activly trying to embed itself in you hand/knee. I would also say if you are going to cut open a wall and drag cable across the office opening a bunch of tiles take at least two with you. #LittleSwitchesAreEvil. With camera and AP installs if its a lift tile ceiling just terminate a keystone box up in the ceiling with decent cable loop and label and bring the ceiling tile down. Install the ap with a patch cable out the back and then you take it all up and plug in.
The word CRINGE doesn't even remotely describe my reaction. As a German I am always shocked how low quality of cabling, patchpanels and wall outlets are used outside of the EU and especially Germany. As using the materials from the video would violate the regulations for corporate use real hard e.g. medical facilities. For your own house it is not as important, but still, the standard are very high. Yeah I know it is comfortable to use keystones like these, but they simply don't compare to the enclosed units used in Germany. This also applies for the cables themselves, shielding shielding shielding. This is also important for correct grounding of equipment used. Before hating on me consider doing some research on German installation standards and why it can be upsetting for me to see such "sloppy" material being used. Still love your videos keep on making them!👍👍👍
@@ssiomos These videos are a good showcase for the materials used and showing how grounding without a bond wire works. ruclips.net/video/qhYD_-0h-74/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cJN_IBS4rdc/видео.html I'm also looking for documentation on corporate use, though not so easy to access. The basis for my comment is, that I actually have two neighbors, both doctors with own offices having to face these challenging and expensive installations. Another one who worked as an installer for electrical, also providing me with that knowledge.
@@ssiomos You should take a look at swiss outlets for communication/data, they have a very very interesting and modular system which complies with shielding regulations etc. Look for r&m / RDM product as those are basically the standard there speaking from experience.
Agree. I‘d recommend to use CAT 8 cables (or at least CAT 7) and then use Keystones like the following: Cat8 and Cat6A Field Termination Keystone ruclips.net/video/d8b_w_OBbuk/видео.html Cat8 and Cat6A Field Termination Plug ruclips.net/video/iWp3IdD_i-Q/видео.html But anyways, I love your videos. Thanks a lot.
Check/verify the cables is very important. I like to before everything is back together. Or if it's hard to reach, requires a ladder etc.

You are such a Great teacher, love your video sir Jeremy. Keep the good work going sir. We love you.
2:39: That is an F connector (you can find this in cable modems and set-top boxes), not a BNC connector.
Maybe he did because MoCA?

My day to day at work!
Love you Jeremey
hi are all keystone jacks compatible with the different CAT ( 5e and 6) ethernet cables ?
isit industry standard to use both T568B or T568A ( I mean straight through cable) on patchpanel and walljack? or can we use crossover cable?
Not BNC but Coax barrel connector that is shown in your video.
Is there a particular reason that all the colour pairs seem to go from left to right "stripe, solid" except for the blue pair?

I hate the ends where the wires come through, they have a very high failure rate!

Punch down tools should punch down 4 or all 8 cables... Waste of time going 8x individually.

I would love if you could point us to some videos or documents - guidelines, showing installations and tools and methods according to German standards

I'll join with the other replies - do tell! I'm always looking for better standards to use. Shoot over some links!
