and top marks for @04:20 for keeping pairs twisted as close as possible to punch down pins, so many self proclaimed "experts" (a term I use extremely loosely for them) untwist it all the way and often leave centimetres of cable more, so well done

(BTW hte "cable scissors" are technically called " linesman scissors/snips'

[notoriouskiller]

I was actually looking to buy some tools, but didn’t know what brands to trust. Thanks for the video!

[zadekeys]

That I- punch tool looks brilliant! Easy to use and easier to find than the inline-coupler's / compatible patch panel / etc. That said, pu ching down 24x rj45 ends is much faster than 24x IDC's.

[reecestiff]

Don't know if anyone will read this but I hope it'll help at least one person. When untwisting the pairs a useful tip is to use a flathead screwdriver and slide it up in between the twisted pairs and slide it up, doing this will separate the pair and straighten them out.

I Like the cable comb, never seen that in real life. As for a tester I prefer one that measures length and tells me where the break is so I know straight away if I just need to trim down the end or abandon the cable.

I love seeing other Vertical Cable users out there. The I-Punch is the best tool in the game. If you haven't checked out the Low Voltage Nation yet you should I think you would enjoy it.

[wernerdebijl]

This is really helpful. Thank you Cody.

[xVertigo]

Awesome thank you!
Going to purchase some as I'm rebuilding my home network with Cat6a and new network equipment.

Reviews on the crimper says it's counterfeit and a nock off that breaks easily

[christiandehlinger]

Good video. Micro flush cuts work good as well. I do not use pass-throughs as I believe there is greater possibility of corrosion; also special ends, special tool. I only use Leviton products for keystones. I do use a briquet while punching down.

[daethanhudson]

Love it I'm subscribed we see lots of videos from the other trades but not many for cable/telecom guys got any load out vids

[yourpcmd]

About the Monoprice SlimRun cables. Per TIA guidelines, to be "officially" a CAT6a cable, these three things must be true, which do not exist with those cables:
1. It must be between 16-20G wire
2. It must have additional shielding to reduce cross-talk
3. 10-Gbps speeds must be retained up to 328 feet
Therefore, those cables are misrepresented and are grossly mis-advertised, to their own admission (use of 30G wire).

Use the sleeve to unwind the conductors

HEADS UP: Typo in the Thumbnail! GREAT VIDEOS! Keep it up!

[mattharrington]

Quick question. Why would you use Velcro over cable ties?

[betz]

I've been doing structured cabling/service work for 15 years now. I cut my teeth on car A/V then commercial large scale A/V.

I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME cannot use snips. I jokingly call them arts and crafts scissors. I love my Klein 1010s.

And before you start tearing into me, I always carry a radial stripper on my key chain (usually for shielded or CAT6a). It's just what I feel comfortable with.

Now, let me continue using this BISCI tech book as a foot stool... I'll get certified one of these days, haha.

[whoislongy]

Would you mind giving a few uk alternatives with cables and the like as some are not available outside USA I got some nasty solid core cable that kept breaking and was covered in silicon all on the inside but the core was so brittle and I couldn’t terminate with out one cable breaking

[betz]

What's your experience with the Verticle Cable wanting to spool from the end on fresh boxes(as you pull, the opposite end in the box becomes tangled around your head)? I avoid them because it's been a constant hassle in the past for me.

[Totschlagen]

I like the electrical burn on the scissor blade, I hope you didn't get hurt when that happened.

[Walterz]

Some really nice tools there I still use all the old ones still no pass though and no keystone crimp tool

[Ressy]

Just a FYI, @02:20 Australia, New Zealand and some parts of Europe also use T568A wiring
Also the U.S. Government only recognizes T568A if your cabling their buildings - surprising I now since nearly all USA you tubers do their videos cabling in 568 B... go figure :)
