How to Punch Down a RJ45 Cat6A Keystone Jack

Cat6A wire and cable also used to demonstrate the proper way to terminate. Don't forget to follow the 568B color code on the jack and keep that pair as twisted as possible to your jack for the best test results.

I am studying for my network+ cert and I love how informative your video is thank you.

I am new to terminating - this is by far the best instructional video I could find. Great job - thank you.

[thoggowow]

You made this look very easy and still you were thorough and clear. In just about six minutes. Very good video! Thank you.

Nice clean fingernails of the correct length. Not too short, not too long. Palm puck important.
Got a video on Cat6A plugs?

Anyone else notice the white and brown in the wrong position at first, then cuts to it being finished and wired correctly. Still a good video though :)

Gone the days when I used to mumble "brown, light brown, green, light blue, blue, light green, orange, light orange" to myself LOL

@1:12 finally some one remembers to maintain the twist

Thanks for this, it was very informative. Working on my Network+ and I found this immensely helpful.

Cool but remember the cable sheath should be inside the jack

[joedezzy]

Good video, only thing I would say to change is to strip the sheathing back further using the pull string after you've cut the sheathing with you're snips. A lot of times you're going to nick the cable when cutting the sheath with your snips. Thats what that string is there for

[michaelfulcher]

Untwisting the pairs to where you insert the wires into the slots won't degrade test signals

Hi Mr. Salinas thanks for sharing this video.But I noticed that you are terminating T 568 B, i show in keystone jack color coding is different
.Thanks and waiting your explanation.

Hello, one strange scenario. Cables from one side ends to a Patch panel cat6 and on the other side are rj45 connectors. Using the tester, all pins are ok but when connecting with computer, again everything works but some links are 100mbits and some other 1gbs. What can be the issue?

[mauricetomas]

Thanks for the vid, the cable should enter vertically (that's why the dust cap in notched out). Thanks for posting the video!

Strong LOLS at the brown white cross over, you not mentioning it but then when it cuts to the finished jack it is magically fixed.
