Hi Jim, thanks for all the great videos. Been watching for years and I appreciate the knowledge and experience you share. The cable comb and cable identifier videos were what helped me find your channel. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for these videos. I recently got into cabling small time and I'm hoping to make a business out of it in the future. Your videos have so much info that I can't find elsewhere!
@17:35 Jim, you are one of the very few who get this right, the number of people including those who claims 30 years experience, who do actually get what that flossy looking string is there for I can count on one hand, no idea who teaches cablers/installers these days, or what they are teaching them, but sadly most just " don't get it " - so congrats and well done. Another excellent video as always.
Thank you for all your info Mr Gibson! 2cents - the music right at the end is not great, personally I'd change that track altogether. Thank you non the less!
Most switches and routers can identify a crossover cable and correct if needed. It would be much more simple for installers if there was ONE wire map for jacks and plugs. I get that there are standards for commercial/residential/government/etc, but the main reason for A was to make crossover cables which are no longer needed. Its the same with USB (supposedly it was going to be universal serial buss) but now there are USB A/B/C/2.0/3.1/3.2/Micro/Mini blah! Gotta love all they ways cables connect :)
Jim I have a question about the “Cable Identifier” product. Can it be used in reverse? Like say I plug the LED RJ45 into keystone and go back to network room with a mess of cat5e cables disconnected with no labels. Can I plug a cable into the tester in the network room and wall around the office until I see a keystone jack with a lit up LED?
@@CableSupply Right but it’s a great alternative application for it. In my case I found a stash of cat5e cables with no jacks on them hidden in the ceiling of our office. The office is loaded with keystone jacks. Every desk has one. They are all wired up. The only issue is nothing is labeled. Using a traditional tone generator and probe the bleed is real bad because they are all next o each other up in the ceiling. This way I know instantly which cable goes to which jack.
truthfully, I think he spent a little too much time explaining the difference between a 66 and a 110 blade. If somebody can’t figure that out after 10 seconds of explanation, they have no business doing cabling.

Yes MOST routers and switches can ID crossover and correct it. My recommendation is T568 B on both ends.

yes you can... but that's not what it was designed for.

great video, why do people use patch panels? why not not just plug them directly into a switch/poe switch?
Good question. Easier to find the port that you are looking for, stabilize the cable, protects the terminations......and more.

Thanks good point. However there are a lot of new-bees that watch the channel.
