I would think it was obvious that he did it to show the process for the viewer. It would be difficult to show the viewer what was shown if he was terminating from the other direction. However, it might have been a good idea to specify that he was doing this for ease of teaching and that the cable was normally placed in the opposite direction.
As long as the cable is supported "zip tied" to the 110, should not matter really if its inside or outside. The point that needs to follow is bicsi standards that is, the twist needs to be less then a half a inch and punched down. 110 need to be redesigned to put the position number on the outside of the termination row. It is kind of hard to read when it is on the inside of the punch down rows.
@@LK-pc4sq its not that hard to tell, with order on inside, being they have it on every section and even if get to last point on panel then just look at the wiring of the rest
Nice video. Most manufacturers recommend keeping your punchdown tool set to the LOW setting when punching down patch panels as damage can occur to the patch panel. Often people will set their tool on HIGH thinking it cuts the wire better. LOW works fine. If it doesn't, you probably have a dull blade and you need to change the tip.
I would not untwist the pairs before punching. Use the raised peak to wedge between each pair to keep the twists in-place up to the block to minimize cross-talk and signal loss -- this is critical for cat6(a) certification -- then untwist the pair on the cut side before punching down for a cleaner cut. Then you'll get a tight connection with minimal signal loss and a lower chance of needing to undo a patch due to a test failure.
Why untwist the pairs more than needed at all? Maintain the color's twist rate (each color has a different number of twists per meter) right up until they enter the punch down slots. The certifier should give you better results that way.
@First Last Usually a Fluke DSX cable analyzer that certifies the cable is terminated correctly and will perform at the given speed. It also measures near end cross talk and far end cross talk which is why untwisting the pairs is a bad idea.
it is great, but, why didn't u do the second one?.....does it have to b wired at mirror image color order? or, looking from the center, u have to go in the same color order from left to right? please, include an explanation about it, and, if possible, as well, and clear, as this one, thx in advance....
Great video. Very clear, easy to see what you are doing and the explanation of each step was completely easy to follow. I appreciate the time you took to make a very useful video.
It's just a different color pattern to follow. It doesn't matter which one you use, as long as you're consistent at both ends. You could literally make up your OWN scheme if you wanted as long as your consistent at both ends ... but the NEXT GUY who comes along won't know what you did. That's why they make standards for everyone to follow. Not having standards would be like a "STOP" sign (on the road) meaning different things in two different cities. 568B just happens to be one of the most often used schemes.
the twisting is negligible at that short of a distance. Basically everyone does it this way and you do not see them having any problems, everyone from google to oracle to mcdonalds all will have this small unraveling. I mean the guy was pretty tight as it gets and still you do not present any info to elaborate your statement. Next time back your words up with proof or a technical white paper at the least or even a Request for Comments paper.
The IEEE set the standard and it's there to see. At most you can untwist up to 1/2 inch.The problem is usually at the w/b pair which has a looser twist than the other pairs. Give it an extra twist up to the connector
Hi, For example I have a utp cable with this scenario. I follow the color coding scheme type b on the patch panel on the other end what color coding scheme should I use direct to rj45, no keystone jack. Thank you for the help
I have a cat5e patch panel and I punched down number 1 port to see if I was doing it right before terminating all other 23 patch panel ports. I connect number 1 patch panel port to my Cisco switch and im not getting anything on my device. Do you know what could be the problem ?
Thanks a lot Mr. Mercy for the nice video, it is possible to use one network cat6 cable for both PC and IP phone? I mean, can I generate a port from an existing port with out using a small switch or other device.
how come i see some videos where they will punch down all 8 wires on one side and some videos shows that 4wires gets punch on one side and remaning 4wires will be punch on the bottom part ?
My punch down tool doesn't "click" like this. I have it set on high impact. The tip just sort of springs in, but it never "impacts" it seems. Am I doing something wrong or is my tool defective. It is brand new. It seemed to work OK, but it took a few times before the wires were actually cut.
I have a brand new home with cat5 home run to a punchdown block in a panel in my laundry room. How do I tone out each individual cable? I can't seem to identify specific cables in the block.
Awesome video, its very concise, clear, and super easy to understand. That is the exact patch panel that I am looking for. Mercy, do you have the exact SKU number so I can order it online? Thanks!
Thank you for your idiot-proof video, very helpful since the installer who wired my apartment left one of the in-wall connections unterminated in my patch panel...
This might sound silly but how is the copper inside the wire conducting to patch panel. Usually in electric cabling we remove outer cover of a cable and expose the copper and connect the copper to the board. How does this work without you doing that. the tool just cut off the extra part right.
Rakesh Kamath the tool not only cuts off the extra part, it also pushes down the wire between the metals. Which actually scratches off the insulation and makes contact with the metal.
I understand he was keeping the cable on the outside of the patch panel to show the color coding but the sheath to the cat 5 should be inside of the patch panel. Other than that, great video.
Pious Hadebe I was thinking the same thing I am taking a network class and this guy seems not to know the standards, a 568B cable is a crossover cable and 568A is a straight trough cable I really don’t get the way he put the colors, do not match the TIA/EIA standards.
The punch-down sequence on the 110 block does not have to correlate/correspond to TIA /EIA standards. It all has to do with were these block locations terminate on the RJ45 jack or plug. To verify, trace where the block pins lead to on the circuit board that jack is soldered into. For example, the 110 blocks on Levition's structured media center snap-in data and phone boards also start with blue/white coding, but the they too conform to the 568A standard at the jacks.
568B is not a crossover cable. A crossover cable is wired following 568A on one end and 568B on the other end. Either standard (568A or B) will produce a "straight through" cable if both ends match.
very good teaching on the color codes on 568 B or A easy for dummies to punch down a panel ...just hoped you laid the catv inside block instead you got them from the outside ....anyways cheers bro plus very clear video !
No, as long as you do the same on both ends. If you mix 568A and B on the same cable, you will get a 4 conductor cross-over cable. Most Ethernet devices can detect the crossover and work around it. Some older stuff required cross-overs for switch uplinks. Some had dedicated ports for uplinks etc. Today, most Ethernet ports will cross automatically.
Interesting how he is terminating with the cable on the outside of the 110. I have always installed the cable between the termination rows.
same lel

A clear, no BS video. Thanks. Extra thanks for identifying the components you're using, like the type of blade on the punchdown tool.

60 fps video from 2011. wot.
Probably it was uploaded as 60 fps but it was not available as 60fps until youtube added support for it
After going ahead for 20 times i'm so far ahead that i can't hear what you're saying anymore
Untwists all of the pairs and terminates on outside of block... ouch
You must have watched a different video.
This is the most focus tutorial ive ever seen in patch panel process.
Why untwist the pairs more than needed at all?
Maintain the color's twist rate (each color has a different number of twists per meter) right up until they enter the punch down slots. The certifier should give you better results that way.
+Darr Darr
indeed! never untwist more than you need to.
@First Last Usually a Fluke DSX cable analyzer that certifies the cable is terminated correctly and will perform at the given speed. It also measures near end cross talk and far end cross talk which is why untwisting the pairs is a bad idea.
The correct to terminate the cable is in between the rows not outside of the 110. Otherwise good video.
How to undo when you've made a mistake? Yanking it doesn't work...

I love that this guy's name is Mercy. I need healing.
You aren't supposed to untwist them like that. You should maintain the twist all the way up to punch down.

Yeah, you have a bad tool.
you should be wiring the cable inside the patch panel makes it easier to work on in the future
Nice clear and hassle free, just what the doctor ordered, thank you.

Hy sir how much mtr length cable good cat6 kuwes
it did not describe the other end...is it the opposite (my best guess)? OR beside it? left or right?
is it better to place all of them first on the patch panel and then punch them down ?what happens if you punch them as you place them one by one?
Awesome video, its very concise, clear, and super easy to understand. That is the exact patch panel that I am looking for. Mercy, do you have the exact SKU number so I can order it online? Thanks!
good video...doesn't have hands showing and blocking the operation from view...it is the wire and the patch panel...very clear.
Thank You
use a cable tester with the numbers only,1-8. dont use the tester with just lights. and number each cable on make a chart.
Good video THANK s
Wow 11 years old video yet incredibly detailed and clear description.
thankss
You have kept your heart in this video I have liked it. It's so educative.
thank you guys!
You save me hours of work . Thank you so I was going crazy
Can you remove the cable if you have already punch it down
Thank you for your idiot-proof video, very helpful since the installer who wired my apartment left one of the in-wall connections unterminated in my patch panel...
Very very good sir for explaning and thanks
its not a straight cable or its not a cross cable.what is that cabling will u plz tell me that
Theres too much labor on this type of patch panel we always install a keystone type patch panel instead
nice thanks
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks bro
I would use patch panel just to avoid crimping RJ45 plugs.
Use the EZ RJ45! ruclips.net/video/OFDQZ1W-eqw/видео.html

very useful THANK YOU!
very good teaching on the color codes on 568 B or A easy for dummies to punch down a panel ...just hoped you laid the catv inside block instead you got them from the outside ....anyways cheers bro plus very clear video !
I think he did it that way so viewers could clearly see the colored wires matching the label on the panel.
Good
Are CAT6 cables the same in terms of punching?
The 110 blade on your impact tool will do Cat6A Cat6 and Cat5e.

Does it matter if I use 568 A or B?
No, as long as you do the same on both ends. If you mix 568A and B on the same cable, you will get a 4 conductor cross-over cable. Most Ethernet devices can detect the crossover and work around it.
