Connect Cat6 cable to jack

easy procedure to punch the Category 6 network cable on to a Jack. If you are installing an Ethernet network in an office or home, you will need to "terminate" each network wire at the user end with a Category 6 network jack.

Tools needed:
- Snips (Electrician's Scissors)
- 110 punch down tool

Steps:
1. score the Cable jacket to create a perforation
2. Break-off the portion of the cable jacket to expose wires inside.
3. use snips (scissors) to make a small notch in the cable jack.
4. pull back the rip cord to remove more jacket.
5. cut off excess cable jacket
6. untwist individual wires (sets of colored wires)
7. push the pairs of wires into groove according to the key map (Blue, Orange, Green, Brown).
8. Choose either A or B style for wire termination (if in doubt, choose B)
9. Use either the plastic insert tool or a Punch-down tool to fully insert the wires into the metal teeth within the jack.
10. removes excess wires.
11. install dust caps on jack.

I made a newer version of this procedure. (in 4K too!). And, since many of you have complained about my hand in the way during the punch process, I specifically moved the camera to the side in this video.

The most confusing part of connecting the jack is understanding the A vs B style the color coding on the jack. You explain this part well in this video. Thank you.

Outstanding video! I have done a lot of general purpose wiring on 110/220V circuits, but this is my first go at making up CAT6 cable to jack. Thank you for making this easily understood!

[palmwineguy]

Thanks a bunch for talking me through it - took every bit of anxiety out of it.

[Oyabunization]

The most helpful video on the subject that I've seen! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'm off to perform surgery on a keystone jack now!

[TheDanielsherer]

Your video was useful, thank you. I would suggest for someone using the "free" punch-down tool that doesn't trim the wires, a pair of common "nail clippers" work great, and can trim the wires flush with the block.

[walterholbrooks]

I keep rewatching your great video. Definitely, educational. Hope to get up enough nerve to try. Thanks

[Michael-wuzf]

You sound like Jimmy McGill from Better Call Saul

[parthiwins]

Best tutorial video available in YouTube. Thanks for the video!

[Xyspade]

Thanks so much for this video, exactly the information I was looking for in a simple and effective presentation. Just got a punch tool and am ready to install some network jacks.

[ImranTTi]

Thanks Bud! You helped me move the jack from one room to the next in my house. Something AT&T tech told me was not possible, disappointing. little did the tech know; the conduits were running CAT6 to every room in my apartment.

[SQUIDTANK]

Great video, first one I’ve found that explained the A and B markings. Thanks for sharing!

[James_Knott]

He mentioned getting the jacket as close to the connector as possible. What I do is I separate the first wire from each side and then place them in the slots so they're straight out from the cable. Once they're in place, it's a simple matter to place the rest.

Thank you sir ….. AT&T tried charging me $160.00 to do this
Keep up the great work

[crookedlantern]

Thanks for this video! I got my office wired up and now have every bit of internet i pay for!

[greembow]

Thank you so much! I haven't done this in a very long time and needed a refresh.

[derperslarperson]

Appreciate the video but in future try not to obscure what you're actually doing when you're doing it. Thanks

[SuperJamalShah]

I watched a couple of other videos, but this nicely, specifically, and precisely described. Something that I was looking for. Thnx

[bilizard]
