  • Our $24 FD500R tool is used to cut and crimp cat5, cat5e, cat6 Ethernet and phone cabling using RJ45 and RJ11 style connectors. In this demonstration we will show you how to create a "straight through" Ethernet connection (also referred to as "patch cables"). See the links below to find the FD500R crimping tool and FD-S501A stripping tool on our website!

    Honorable Mention... our FD3101 Micro Wire Cutter was shown in the video but not really mentioned. It is great for cutting small wire and also served well when removing the cat5 sheathing thread: goo.gl/akevA9

    Thank you so much. I've been dreaming of getting wired internet when I realized there was a ethernet wall jack in my room. The only problem was, the keystone was connected and everything, but the other end of that ethernet cable was just showing wires. That was a huge problem because that ethernet cable was in the basement right next to the modem, but my router is connected to an ethernet port in my parent's room, but I wanted it in my room. But after seeing this video, I was able to get the ethernet port all ready to go plugged in my modem, and now I have wired internet on my Gaming PC.

    Good and clear video. I might have mentioned you're showing a T-568B pinout diagram when the standard is T-568A. The "B" standard was in place since early MA-BELL telco AT&T 258A (Systimax) pinout, but was replaced by T-568A in the early 1990's- and is required for all U.S. Federal installations. That said, as long as your termination points are all the same they can be used without issue.

      Sorry for the pasted text: "Both are allowed under the ANSI/TIA-568-C wiring standards. T568A wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern for this standard because it provides backward compatibility to both one pair and two pair USOC wiring schemes. The T568B standard matches the older AT&T 258A color code and is/was (?) the most widely used wiring scheme...." "The U.S. Government requires the use of the preferred T568A standard for wiring done under federal contracts...."

    Just want to point out that this is 568B scheme. Depending on where you are located, the preferred scheme would be different. I've been doing some research and found that the recommended scheme in Canada is 568A (for residential), which has the positions of green & orange pairs switched.

    • @Guido_XL
      @Guido_XL 7 месяцев назад

      Indeed, the scheme may differ, so that people need to verify theirs, before clamping the wires. The procedure remains the same, which is as simple as it gets. The clamping tool does the actual work, together with the RJ45 connector's design.

      This is a standard straight through connection. Crossover connections are much different.
      Pass through RJ45 connectors make the task simpler, but no matter what RJ45 connector you use barreled or not there's going to be over a quarter of an inch of blind faith that proper wire is going into the proper terminal. I do them four at a time left-to-right. Much better success.
