Yes, very sadly this is true. I've had some really jerk instructors in my day...I may add. I recall a intro to programming class I took many years ago at my local community college. Even back then it wasn't cheap (tuition, books). I had the audacity to ask how a certain line of code worked & the jerk instructor gave me some evasive answer & said in front of the entire class if I didn't understand that (condescending I may also add) I should get a tutor. What a jerk. Did I say this asshole was a jerk? OK. I honestly don't think he knew this programming language, which would have been either BASIC or COBOL...as stated, this was many years ago. Yes, sadly, there are many schools that are only too happy to take your money from you but provide little support in the way of helping you to get a job after graduation.

Actually I have found a lot of the Florescent Light and Electrical Wiring worries are a bit out dated. Back in the 90's when networking equipment was a lot worse it was a real worry, but frankly now a days it just doesn't cause a huge issue. I knew a wiring expert who a few years ago literally wrapped a florescent light 50 times with a network cable and his equipment barely registered any packet problems. It's definitely something to be aware of, and avoid if it can be helped, but...

"Although commonly referred to as an RJ45 in the context of Ethernet and category 5 cables, it is incorrect to refer to a generic 8P8C connector as an RJ45." -Wikipedia RJ45 is a specialized telecommunications configuration using the same 8P8C connector. RJ45 is not even related to ethernet so it is incorrect to call the 8p8c connectors RJ45. It's true that they are labeled as such in places like HomeDepot and Lowes, but that doesn't make it true. Am I a jerk for pointing this out? I don't think so. Thoughts?

Great stuff - small correction. The twisting is actually to void (approximately) the induction from 1 wire to the other. Current going thry 1 wire create a magnetic field that would create current on the other wire running next to it. Creates cross-talk. By assuming they have roughly the same thing going thru them, twisting the wires would create 2 fields that void them-self.

You say that the profit is very high once you've invested in quality tools and the relatively short amount of time it takes to learn it. But is it the kind of job where you can do one-off jobs easily while you're still kind of learning how to do it? Is it very difficult to gain willing clients without experience or certs of some kind?

Overall good video... it sums up most of the basic network cabling stuff. You could have briefly explained the difference between UTP, FTP and STP cables when you talked about the construction of the cable. More importantly, you failed to explain the difference between solid and stranded cables. Network cables with solid conductors is actually what you would want to use for permanent network cable installations, i.e. for running cables from network ports in the wall to the patch panel in the server room. It's also referred to as "installation cable" and it's for a good reason. They are specially designed to perfectly match up with the Keystone you have for the network port in the wall as well as the patch panel. You do NOT want to use "patch" cable for that purpose, like the one you use in the video. They slip out of Keystone jacks because they are too thin and soft. Patch cables have stranded conductors and they are perfectly terminated in RJ45 modular connectors. Solid cables have thicker conductors and they it's really hard to press down RJ45 connectors on them. They make weak contact with the connector pins. Even if it works at the time you test it, you will have connection problems further down the road. With stranded cables on the other hand, they make great contact with RJ45 connectors, and because they are stranded, thinner and soft, the connector pins actually cut through them to make an even better contact. Stranded cables are used almost exclusively for patch cables. Patch cables are usually the short cables you hook between switches, routers and between computers and network ports in the wall. For long distances and for permanent installations you would use solid cables. This is the general rule. But there are supposed to be special kind of RJ45 connectors on the market that can take a solid cable and make a good lasting contact, but I have not seen this type of connector yet. As for the 568A and 568B color scheme... there used to be a difference between these two, but not so much these days. This stems from the early days of networking. Telephony is much older than computer networking. The standard color scheme used in telephony was conflicting with the color scheme used in networking. Also, the same kind of connector (RJ11 I believe) was used for both telephony and for networking. So if a new worker at an office or an unknowing technician plugged in a computer to a "telephony" port instead of a "networking" port, it would result in a burned network adapter in that computer. It was hard to tell the difference, especially if the port in the wall was not labeled on the face plate to indicate if it's a data port or a telephony port. So it was important to label things and to read these labels and signs before plugging anything in. Then came the RJ45 port which is now almost exclusively dedicated to networking. The wiring was simply one big mess back in the old days. So in rally old installations you might actually be forced to fall back on 568A, either that or rewire everything to 568B. Thankfully we have VoIP and SIP these days and the old analogue phones are falling into oblivion. The 568B color scheme is not only used in the US. This is the widely accepted standard you will find in most European countries, both on patch cables and in network installations.

+Christopher Puzey Like Lockindal says, it's because they're twisted pairs, but also, half of the colours are national and internation industry standardised colours for telecommunications cables, even before computer networking became a thing. Changing the industry standard of something is generally not a good idea unless you have strong reason to, because it completely messes up the general working practices of the industry and results in all training materials having to be rewritten. For example, Britain has had it's standard electrical wires as Live = Brown, Neutral = Blue, Earth = Green and Yellow, though older buildings still have wires with the old colour code of Live = Red, Neutral = Black, Earth = Green and Yellow, this means even though I may never see the old wires, I still had to be taught the old system as well as the new when doing electrical engineering in college.

Plenum is also REQUIRED if you are going to run a network cable between floors in a building. This of course will depend on your local fire codes. The difference between CAT5 and CAT5e is CAT5 is rated at 100Mbps and CAT5e is rated at 1000Mbps. To obtain the 1000Mbps you will need to used all 8 wires in the CAT5e cable which means all 8 pins in the 8P8C, RJ45 connectors. CAT5 and 100Mbps only required 4 wires to be used so they were connect to the 8P8C, RJ45 connectors pins 1, 2, 3 and 6. Some cablers in the 90s and early naughties used to run 100Mbps networks and then use the 7 and 8 wires for a phone connection. This was a lazy and cheaper way to run the cables since they didn't need to run an extra cable for the phones. Problem was you could end up with "cross talk" and have you network data corrupted. Running cable using the lazy method cheated the customer out of easily upgrading to 1000Mbps when they upgraded their networking switches and network adaptors or NICs (Network Interface Card) in their computers. I haven't finished watching the whole video so I don't know at this point if Eli talks about the different termination types. There are two. One is EIA/TIA 568A and EIA/TIA 568B. If you make one end of the cable 568A and the other end 568B then you will have created a Crossover cable (sometimes referred to a null switch cable since you can directly connect to network adaptors ie two different computers, without having to use a switch, ergo null, (no) switch). While modern switches can handle a crossover cable and treat it like a "straight through" one, it is best and professional to make sure your ends match. Just got to the part about cable length when running it. In the country where I live, the maximum run length is 90 metres and not 100 metres. This is very simply to allow for patch leads on each end of the cable run. It is unlikely that you would have a 5 metre patch lead in a patch panel but it is not unknown. I had a client and their "professional" cablers put 5 metre patch leads in the MDF (Main Distribution Frame) aka the cabinet. When I complained they came back, removed the 5 metre patch leads and put 3 metre leads in. I then swapped the 3 metre ones out for 1 metre and 50cm (centimetre) ones where appropriate. The cabinet door could then be closed. I then had 110 x 3 metre leads that I could cut up to the length to what was required at various locations I supported. I was not a cabler but I would do the odd run as required. Finally (at last you say), consider using different coloured patch leads in your cabinet. Why you ask? Good question. Eli has just mentioned that you can look at a patch panel and see what is what and what goes where. If you have different coloured patch leads this can make that seeing what's happening even easier. The RED patch lead has traditionally been a Crossover cable that connected your switches to each other. I try to use BLUE for patching the panel to the switch. Then I can use BLACK to connect the Servers to the switch. GREEN is what I use for any Wireless Access Points (WAPs), PURPLE for the Router and so forth. If you decide to use coloured patch leads to make identification easier, try to use the same colours at each site so you can easily remember what is what. Try and make everything easier for yourself and also make a diagram of your cabling layout and tape a copy of the diagram to the door or side panel of the cabinet. Then any visiting destroyers of your network can easily see what you have done. Ooops, one more bit (sorry I should not use that word for IT related substance). I would suggest you purchase a label maker so you can label your Patch Panel and also your network points in the rooms where they terminate. It looks so much more professional if your network points have printed labels instead of something scrawled in ink or pencil. You may not need to label your patch panel depending on the size you are using. If you have 38 points / cables to run then you can use either a 48 point patch panel or you can use 2 x 24 point patch panels. If you use 2 x 24, they will each be numbered 1 to 24. To look professional you will need to number the second panel starting at 21 to 38. Alternatively, you can name the patch panels A and B. and not renumber the second panel. You would then need to make you numbers on the jack points A1, A2 etc to A24 and then B1 to B18. Work out a method that works for you and clearly indicates the number on the patch panel will match the number on the terminated jack.

the 100 meter limit (actually a little over 110 meter, but that is including cable from wall outlet to a computer) has to do with timing of the CSMA/CD protocol. Smallest package of ... 64 bytes must span the whole cable, which results in the 110 meter max. If the package is send by a computer, and the signal hasn't arrived yet at the other end before the end of the network package, it means it cannot do the Collision Detect part of the CSMA/CD protocol, and packages may be getting dropped without the sender knowing. This is what is deteriorating for the communication with cables that long. It is NOT about signal degrading....

Its actually 90m or 295ft distance for provable test results with a Fluke Versive or DTX-1500. His tester wont account for length, cross talk, impedance, etc. While you can run a cable over 90m, most High tech companies want test results that go along with a 10-25 year warranty that you cant get unless the cable is under 90m.

Hey Eli, it's very unfortunate for me to discover your channel just this time. Eli, I am planning to take CCNA and currently studying anything related to Network. I found a free online course in youtube it's from Jeremy's IT Lab youtube channel. To our current situation, ccna bootcamps are mostly closed. I'm planning study just by watching youtube videos. Do i have an advantage with my situation? Is it more nice if it's an actual study? What are your thoughts?

Never be above running cable? Most clients don't want to pay a senior engineer/architect rate for cabling. I usually offer while offering a comparison of cost between me and a cable installers price. I don't enjoy climbing in ceilings or crawlspaces, and i have enough work to keep me busy without doing it. CAT6 is now pretty much the default as many servers now push 10GB NIC's.

Hoping someone can help me out. I've got a normal Sky broadband but have just decided to upgrade to the Sky fibre (I have previously had Virgin fibre optic). However after going ahead with the purchase and contract Sky told me that they are just sending me a Sky box. This leads me to think am I getting scammed by Sky because no installation of fibre cables are mentioned? I am just being sent a router from what I know. Any ideas? Cheers

I always hated following behind someone that made their own patch cables out of solid core twisted pair. It's a point of failure waiting to happen. If you insist on making your own, buy a spool of braided twisted pair for those. It's actually designed to be bent and wrapped. Solid core breaks when flexed repeatedly. That being said, I generally buy premade patch cables in bulk. They only cost $1.50-$4 bucks each, already have braided line, have already been tested and certified and don't take ten minute to make and test. That also lets you order different colors of patch cables so you can assign different colors to different functions or locations without buying a bunch of spools. It's nice to know that "yellow" is POE, or "red" is interconnect or "white" goes to routers, "blue" is for something else and such. Premade ribbon patch cables rock. They're flat and don't look like an exploded spider nest when you're done.

perfect12320 Patch panels are used for commercial/enterprise applications. Nearly every corporation, organization, or large enterprises houses that specific component of a network. In sense, it is much like your power panel inside of your home. It is normally inside of your IDF ( Intermediate Distributed Frame/or Facility).

nice presentation, but it misses a lot of important things... Solid core cable vs stranded cable ? you need a matching type of RJ45 plugs for your cable type. and you use solid cables in walls, and stranded for patch cables. blanking with scissors??? maybe at home... even his crimp tool seems to have a part for doing that right. you should not put cat5 into the walls any more, cat6 is not so much expensive, but will be usable a lot longer, with better speeds.

This was published a long time ago now. My company does cabling and we generally only use CAT 6, very rare instances we use CAT 5e and that's for analog voice. Never for data. I have always used plenum rated cable, of course I get to take home the boxes that the cable guys are going to throw away, so it's free. I have never pulled a non plenum cable at work. I know how to do all of this and I still watched the whole video. I had the same crimpers you have for so long that the plastic got brittle and broke, I had to get a new set. I like the new set, but I've had a couple of failures, probably user error. I need to be more careful. The set you have are my preferred set. I've been doing this for 21 years. Only thing I'd add to your tool kit there is electric tape and a multi screwdriver. Pick one up for free at Harbor freight with a coupon.

Nice refresher, haven't done this in years. Your right about the plenum cable rating but we never run any cables thru duct work, never ever! drop ceilings yes because air is moving around and like you said if the cable melts it will put off bad stuff. Running cables thru duct is a code violation. 2014 NEC® - Plenum Space [300.22]

This is not so much a comment on the video but just an FYI for interested persons...I wouldn't use scissors to score the sheath. Just a slight amount of excess pressure beyond what is needed could damage one or more of the thin delicate copper wires. A decent RJ45 crimping tool will always have a built in sheath scoring blade that ensures perfect results every time. If anyone out there is going to buy any type of highly task specific tool - I recommend that you get a good one and learn how to use it properly.
