The Easy Way to Wire RJ45 Ethernet Plugs with Speedy

The Speedy way to fit RJ45 connectors to Cat6 ethernet cables.

In this video, we use the TUK contractor-grade ratchet crimp tool and the SPEEDY RJ45 plug with the SPEEDYLOCK Boot. We are using the T568B colour coding.

As someone who is a veteran in the field... Pass through crimp heads like the ones used in the video were banned in my company. Why? Because eventually they cause connectivity issues due to shorts at the connection ends. Why? Because the person who terminated... Like in the video... Trust that his crimper cuts the wires close enough to the head.... They don't. And oftentimes your Cat 6 tester won't show you it's shorting either. While a pass through connector may have saved the initial installer time, it has cost me countless hours in service calls going back to fix them all, and the initial installer never had to deal with it. 9/10 times a connection issue was caused by one of these. Lesson... PLEASE DON'T USE PASS THROUGH CONNECTORS. However... If you absolutely must... Instead of relying on your crimper tool to trim the ends, a much better method is to use your flush cutter to trim the ends first, then PULL THE CABLE SLIGHTLY BACK from the head to make sure all the wire ends are SECURELY INSIDE the connector head. This reduces the chance of shorts dramatically.

Using the outer sheath to straighten the twists is a nice trick, I wish I'd thought about this when I was 18 and making 40 patch leads, doh!

Notes. You are technically supposed to strip the sheath, then use the cotton cord to strip a longer section of sheath which protects the cores from potentially being scored by the blade. The sheath wasn’t pushed up as far into the plug as far as I believe it should be. The reason for this is leaving the sheath so far back may allow pulling on the cable to expose the cores out the back of the plug. If the sheath is pushed up, it gets crimped along with the cores.
But if it works, it works and do it the way you do it. Just slight wrongs should be pointed out if it’s an instructional video imo

Wow there is nothing quick about this!
Also as a veteran low voltage guy I still say passthrough crimp ends are a danger for shorts, I know you may of never seen it happen but there is a reason they are not permitted in some installs.

The nylon cord is there for a reason. Belden will hate you because you should tear the sheath with it so your stripping tool doesn't damage the conductor wire...

I've never used these pass through connectors but just watching cables being terminated brings back memories.

I can still hear myself reciting the color sequence as I would terminate and crimp cables.

[iancooper]

I have been using pass through crimps for well over a year now, such a time saver when you are building a large control panel.

I haven’t used the outer shell to untwist the cable pairs before but it looks like a nifty way to things. Also, I like the connectors - I have not seen them before, but the cool thing about them is that allows for a final check if the config before crimping far more easily than plugs that do not enable the cable pairs to be pushed right through it. Very cool - thanks for sharing 👍😃

[Lobetee]

I'm a professional and I did NEVER cut that much of cover to make the wiring, I cut 5 cm max, I think that's wasting too much cable

[Marto-]

Hahaha. The slowest fast way I've ever seen

[hondaguy]

I saw him untwisting the wires and initially my brain went "what is this tool!? I need it!" ... Then I realized it's just the sheath and 🤯

[michaelcerkez]

When I was taking a CCNA course in college we had to do it the hard way. LOL

[ricknelson]

This old guy just learned a new trick to untwist the pairs. Thanks much.

[therealdojj]

I've just got myself some cat6 cable and bits to stick into walls so this has popped up exactly at the right time 👍

1 down, 150, 000 to go. Better speed this up...boss is waiting

[Aurelien.IGT.]

J’adore cette technique que vous utiliser pour redresser les brins 😊

[blacker]

I've learned something from this, thank you!

[Henry_Jones]

Its dangerous to strip the outer jacket that way cuz you can easily cut into the pairs. Its better to strip out some jacket then use the pull string to cut the jacket back to where you want.

[drrenard]

Good video! Never thought of using outer sleeve to unwind the twisted pairs and straighten them. I could have saved thumb pain from doing so many of these

[tommo]

A lot saying pass through are or should be banned. But the new ones now have added a small lip on the connector to accommodate limiting shorts.
Yes the old ones. It was possible. But I have to say I haven’t had any issues with modern versions
I won’t use veteran when describing my time in networks. I’ll
Leave that to describe my military time!!
I am 18 years in the network industry tho
