Welcome back to The Ultimate Tech Hub. On today's episode we will run an Cat6 Ethernet cable through the wall. Then we will connect that Cat6 ethernet cable to a Cat6 Wall Jack. We will show you how to make it look like a professional installation and it will cost you about $20. If you have any questions about this video please leave them in the comments down below.

This is the typical 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.

Cat6 Wall Jack Installation Steps:
1. Strip back the wire cover with scissors or wire strippers
2. Break-off the portion of the cable jacket to expose wires inside.
3. Check wires to make sure none were cut during the strip
4. Cut off the string
5. Untwist individual wires (sets of colored wires)
6. Push all 8 wires into groove according to the key map
7. Choose either A or B style for wire termination. B is the most common.
8. Use either the plastic insert tool or a Punch-down tool to fully insert the wires into into the Jack.
9. Removes excess wires with scissors
10. Install dust caps on jack ( wire cover )

Great video! We are looking to do the same exact thing! Very useful step by step video! Thank you so much!!

[kobekzn]

15 years old, understood and did it myself. great video man

[tcntad]

Hurts my eyes to see they're not leveled

[Orlopez]

As a professional in the industry I can tell you that you never want to un-twist the pairs. Leave them twisted all the way to point of contact with the connector for best speed connection and more importantly for those longer distances.

If your new ethernet cable doesn't work check the way you've wired it. Both ends need to have the same wiring combination. There are two types of combinations, A and B. They are colour coded on the port.

Google was telling me this was gonna be extremely hard this was VERY SIMPLE to understand 👍👍 now I'm gonna see where the closest ethernet port is to this room in my house lol

[allenmitchell]

Looking for my first house, and it seems like this guy installs outlets all over the place. Not levelled, and not in line with eachother if side by side. Takes two fucking seconds to measure it, but a good hour to take it off and patch the drywall.

[LogicDoesStuff]

This looks so intimidating, but it's not too hard once you do it yourself. And despite this not being the best and the most, it's a simple way to add Ethernet jacks throughout your home.

Great video, really enjoyed watching this. I'm wiring a new ethernet port into my bedroom today in my flat where my PC is because the one put in by the building owners isn't using high quality cables and can't handle my G Fast speeds with BT (here in the UK). Really informative video!

[zadekeys]

Good video! Some advice - keep the twist going into the wall jack. Slightly untwist the cable pair where it needs to be separated & push it down with your fingers, before punching it down. The closer the twist of the 4x pairs is to the metal termination point, the better & more professional the work will be. A good cable certifier may not pass your current runs. The twist provides some basic shielding from external interference.

you could have just bought an RJ45-to-RJ45 keystone, avoiding you having to cut and re-terminate the cable.

[trentmurphy]

Thank you. I just watch your video to put ethernet from my office to the living room to hard wire a roku.🦇

I am bloooown away at how simple you made this. Another skill I have learned.

[jacobreuter]

Hey man, I was literally your 15th subscriber. Seeing you get big is cool, nice work my man.

Transition sound effects improved this video 10x

[wintershock]

My brother has an Ethernet cord in his old room which is right next to my current room. My plan is to put a hole in my wall to just get it over to my room and computer so I can actually play games with my friends. This is a little different than my plan but it’s still a great help.

[ZoroPTD]

I had to watch a second time, but I think with my parents to help, I can definitely do this mostly myself although the layout of the rooms are a bit troublesome

[danimal_]

Don’t forget to use that string to strip the outer insulation off of the wire. Wire strippers can score the inner wires.

[gordarcher]

nice video. Though I would have made sure the wall plate was at the same height as the electrical wall plate and used a level to make sure the wall plate wasn't crooked.

My dad's a journeyman certified electrician. I might have him do this for my room up stairs since wifi is bad plus I'm afraid of getting a tv for wifi. I didn't know it was this CHEAP to install Ethernet.
