- Hi, this 'How To' video shows you how to make RJ11 and RJ12 cables using flat 4 & 6 core cable and also using CAT5e cable for a good quality ADSL Broadband connection. It shows how to wire both 'Straight and 'Crossed' cables.
Thanks Vince
I worked in IT for over 40 years and amazingly never made a cable. The video not only provided all the information needed but also plenty of hints and tips. I have now made my first 12" cable which worked first time. I wasted 1 RJ12 in the process and I could hear Vince saying "well you were warned - don't cut the cables too short!"
Thanks for your teaching,
Cheers Ian :-)
watched your videos and doubled my speed by replacing my 10m cheap adsl lead and made a cat5 5m cable out of an old network lead I had. I can't believe
how much of a difference just a wire can make. thank you next a adsl face plate 🖒
All these CAT5e videos are much appreciated. I have now CAT5e'd the main desktop, including the RJ11 to RJ11 cable at the router. I also took the opportunity to make a CAT5e patch cable with good quality stranded copper cable; the cheap bought one I was using was likely CCA. The internet connection feels much quicker than it did with the powerline networking I was using previously.
Excellent, thanks for the comment.

Hi Vince thanks for video,after struggling with poor BT broadband for 15 yrs because we are on a rural line and 1 mile to cabinet,and having various callouts to replace faulty O/H cables and corroded joints,I now get 1.9Mbs (was .7Mbs)funny part is when engineer plugs into test skt' he gets 2.1Mbs ,when he uses my supplied with Hub flat lead its 1.9Mbs,so the crap supplied lead is losing me .2Mbs,engineer admits the leads are rubbish but all BT supply,so have toyed with idea of cat5 lead to minimise losses,after having watched your video I now know its possible,thanks a lot Alex
I'm a student that likes to do work around the house myself and I found your videos really useful. Thank you for making these so descriptive and straight to the point! You're a blessing for many. :)
Great video just like the rest of them, nice to find a youtuber who does videos on the uk side of things
This is super helpful-- Thank you for taking the time to do this video! My only complaint is that the camera moves around so much, I'm guessing on half of what you're doing and working from verbal instruction mostly because I'd get quite a bit sea sick and frustrated when trying to focus on what you were doing. Sorry :( Other than that, the instructions were what I was looking for, so Thumbs up!
100% perfect demonstration answered my question perfectly. Thank you
hi im mark from philippines thank you for the video i learned. great video.
Very useful. I've run a VSDI2 RJ45 extension from the master socket using drop cable with solid copper cores. I shielded the cable with kitchen foil and ran it in plastic conduit.
thanks very much vince.
i struggled so much to move my client's ADSL line from the reception to the server room to avoid users plugging cables directly to my internet router. Now I know exactly what to do in future.
Great explanations. Very complete and clear. I appreciate your help.
incredibly helpful, thanks for sharing these videos!

Thanks pal, much appreciated.
Hello i have a BT fibre line in my house and a Huawei 24 port network switch for a fully hardwired house for all the Smart TV's etc.Obviously a fibre connection is stable but before in the old days it wasnt
Just out of curiosity i knocked up a crossed Cat5e lead with RJ11's between the BT hub and the NTL5 faceplate and got a decent improvement on an already fantastic line!
Before dowwnloads were 69-70 after 71-72 Before uploads were 10-12 after 14-16 So for very little effort a slightly better connection and i am chuffed!
my experience with the same tester wasn't good for RJ11/RJ12 plugs. One wire always hinted at faulty, but I eventually got to the point of believing my tester wasn't telling the truth! I decided using the RJ45 sockets to test the RJ11/RJ12 cables and the cable tested ok. My bin was rattling with the quantity of RJ12 plugs I had just cut off because I considered I was making mistakes!
Nice video, but i have to give you some advice: Talk to the camera guy and decide on some positions (like full scene, closeup postion A, closeup B, etc with preset zoom levels and so on) and then stick to those positions. That will solve the out-of-focus, and camera-shake-and-fly-around-trying-to-find-the-target problems :)
Mattias Kregert Thanks for the advice, I am not sure if my video camera has preset zoom, I will have to read up on it.All the best Vince
Thank you i found very useful
very helpful, many thanks for you.
TELL US HOW TO MAKE THE TANK!!
Thank you vince,I will be in touch.
Cheers
excellent video!! very helpful
Brilliant Vid again .. thank you:)
Great vid. Really helpful as well keep up the good work :)
looting247 Thanks mate!!!!!!
Parabéns, muito bom!!!
Great Video! Is that a homemade tank in the background???
Stephen Ellis It certainly is!!!!!!!!!!, my 5 year old son loves me making things out of all the old cardboard I get through. He wanted it in the background of the video :-)All the best Vince
My Mate VINCE well you're a dab hand at that too! My cardboard structures I made for my daughter are Frankenstein-esque in comparison :-)
🤣🤣🤣
Just saved me arse!
Thanks 👍
HEY VINCE I MUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND FOR YOU SENDING ME 2X CAT5E RJ11 CABLES FROM YOUR EBAY SHOP WOW WHAT A DIFFERANCE FROM MY MASTER SOCKET M3 ADSL FACEPLATE TO MY SKYHUB I JUST SAW ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO OF U USING CAT6 CABLE WITH RJ45 PLUGS I HAVE NORMAL RJ45 LEADS TO MY SKYHUB FROM FIXED CAMERA CAN I USE THESE RJ45 CABLE WITH CAT6 ?? A NOVICE IF YES WILL ORDER FROM YOUR SHOP GREAT WORK THANKS AGAIN
Hi, yes you can use CAT6 cable but you will be unlikely to notice any difference because your current lead is probably cat5e so it will still be quicker than current broadband speeds.
Thanks Vince
Nice tank
Chris H Thank you. My 5 year old son loves it!!!!
Great video once again Vince. Was trying to checkout your Ebay shop but the links on your web page doesn't work. 😓. Do you still make cables? I'm looking for RJ12 rounded cat 5 cable 6pins 6 cores to connect to pro 9 pin Female D-sub socket solder connector rs232 for the works portable printer. I have found flat cable RJ12 on ebay but the DB9 connector strain relief is for rounded cable not flat cable. If you could make me a 6 core 6 pin RJ12 round cable. I would be happy to pay for your time. I hope this makes sense. Kind Regards David.
Hi Vince. I watch your videos all the time, but wondered what's happened to your ebay shop?
Hi there, I have closed it for the time being while I concentrate on other projects. I may open it up again mid 2019 or possibly open it up to sell a smaller range of products earlier in 2019:-)
Shame. Finding round entry RJ11 plugs to use with Cat 5E cable is like looking for a needle in the eBay haystack!
I Vince going to give it go
For the rj11 with the cat5e in straigth through does the order matter as long as it is the same on each connector?
Hi, I have a long flat CAT.5E cable but it only has 4 wires & a bare wire, colours being green, white/green, bare wire in middle, orange, white/orange. I have the crimping Tool & RJ11 connectors, can I use this cable as a broadband ADSL cable? If so what would the colour order be? Any help appreciated. Thank you.
What if your internet uses 2 pairs in one cable. would you cross them or wire them straight? My internet comes over 2 pairs so i can get faster internet. I'll be using cat5e cable and terminating them with RJ11 to run about 20ft of cable from the wall jack to the DSL modem/router in my room.
What do you think about Kenable cables?
Hello! I am trying to use my RJ11 (Cat5e) line in my house to hook it up to an Ethernet (RJ45) wall plate I got, the only problem is that the RJ11 has 4 wires while the RJ45 needs 8? Any help would be great thank you.
I have 4 port application. I am coming in on RJ11/12 DSL modem 100 meters away and exiting on 3 port RJ45. I am termination into a wall plate with 3 port RJ45 going to one bedroom; Garage, and spare to the attic. I am not sure if they are crossed or not. I have some of the tooling and connectors. I was going to build around 5E now I am rethinking this for Cat 6a or E.?
Can this be used to connect a wireless router Ethernet to an old phone line for Wi-Fi? As in Replace my dsl modem and connect my adsl Ethernet WiFi router directly?
We have AT&T ADSL the cat3 cable is ran to the garage attic. The cat3 looks like a cat5 because of the color codes it's a 5 pair. white gray & gray is added & not sure what is used for. I am baffled why it is called 3 when it looks exactly like a cat5 has all 4 pairs it looks the same size and are copper. I assume it is capable to be used as cat5 when U-verse finally be instead hopefully by next year sometime but at the mean time I want to fix this mess up here. Anyways When it was added to the attic & is poorly & I do mean poorly shielded it's rigged on with a telephone line regular down the wall panel. The problem is when they ran the line it's to short to run down any walls. I am re-running it & doing away with that telephone to run cat5. My question is should I use cat3 keystone? Since this cat3 has blue & white blue. I assume I can use cat5 blue & white blue? But punch it down on cat-3 keystone? But if I am correct RED goes with Blue & Green goes with White blue. This is when I plug in the telephone line. I thought it was very stupid of them to leave about 3 feet no joke!. That is why I can only come up with Keystone up in the attic & keystone the other end when I drop it down to panel it. Good idea?
Hello. If I made a CAT5E cable with one RJ11 plug, could I terminate the other end into an ADSL faceplate (A and B terminals) and if so what colour wire would I put into the A And B terminal. Thanks and keep up the good work
Andrew Hume Hi, yes you can hardwire one end into the ADSL faceplate (nice and neat that way). The white/blue wire goes to A and the Blue wire goes to B.Many thanks Vince
For modem connection for VDSL2 for what I need fat Cat 5e cable with 8 wires inside ? as I know 2 wires are enough and maybe will be better to use telephone cable YTKSY 1x2x0,5 its much thinner that Cat5e UTP.
hi vince when making a cat 5e adsl cable is the clouor oder for the wires to go in the rj11 the same for every house
Hi, in the UK yes, and as far as I know the rest of the world also use the middle 2 pins on the RJ11 on ADSL.
BUT....you don't have to use the blue pair, any colour pair will work for example the green pair of the orange pair.
Thanks.
Will a Cat5e With Shileding help with RJ11 plugs? I have had BT infinity with Hub 5 installed a few months now and My router has never stayed in sync for more than 7 days. I am currently using Flat RJ11.
+MegaGHWiga Shielded cable can help if there is a lot of external noise but you may struggle to fit RJ11 plugs onto a shielded cable because it tends to be thicker than normal UTP cable. Normally normal UTP cable if fine.Thanks Vince
+My Mate VINCE Well I was searching around and I found Shielded 10M Rj11 to RJ11 Cat5E. Found it on Maplins. Hopefully it makes a difference if not I am not sure what to do :)
How to terminate a cat 5 cable into RJ-12 6 pairs?If i terminate the cat 5 cable one side as w/or,or;w/gr,bl;w/bl,gr;w/br,br combination then whats is the color code i have to use in RJ-12 6 pairs to establish the my broadband connection?Can you suggest please...
I don't understand why use orange and blue but Cat5e is not using Blue at all, maybe I have something missing?
Where I can get a rj12 round cable entry shielded plug with strain relief? There are thousands of unshielded and rj11 shielded but I can't find anything. I intend to make a vdsl cable to replace the cheap flat one supplied with modems/routers using leftover cat6 shielded from a loft installation.
+majnu100 Hi, I haven't seen any shielded RJ12 round entry plugs, I think you will really struggle to fit shielded cable into a rj12 plug as shielded is another 1 or 2mm bigger than normal cat6 and normal UTP cat6 is still a very tight squeeze. Also I have never found any RJ11/12 strain relief boots...If you do ever come across them please let me know.Many thanks Vince
There is 4 wires CAT5E cable available.
Is cat 5 better for adsl? (i mean faster)
Lorenzo Taurino Yes it can be faster but it depends on the cable it is replacing.
How do I find your eBay shop
new sub btw :)
Your eBay shop appears to be closed
Cat5e from 13mins
or you can just buy cat5e with RJ-11 connectors on amazon.
@My Mate VINCE
Great Video/channel mate 😃 I'm a Gamer looking to get the most out of my broadband connection, I already live very close to the exchange getting 74.4 Mbps download on speedtest.net but want to get closer to the speed that is rated in my broadband router settings of 79.99 Mbps
I'm pretty sure that your 1m RJ11 TO RJ11 CAT5e should help me with that in theory 😎
