CONNECT CAT6 CABLE TO JACK - HOW TO

In this episode of Home Networking 101 we will convert a Phone line Jack into a Cat6 data line Jack. Like most new homes we have Cat6 ethernet cables running throughout our house and our kitchen outlet was wired as a standard Phone Line wired from the existing Cat6. Cat6 can be used for data or voice so converting it is very easy.No special tools are needed only a screw driver or cordless drill. The parts needed are a 1 port wall plate and a Cat6 wall Jack plug. Total cost is about 6 dollars and installation takes less than 5 minutes. If you have any questions or comments please leave them down below.

Easy Steps:
1. Strip back the Ethernet cable (the cable skin) if needed
2. Arrange wires on to grooves on the RJ-45 jack. Use the color code as a guide for the location of each wire.
3. Use the 110 punch tool to press wires down into the grooves. Cut off any extra wire left over.
4. Install the dust cover on top of the jack.
5. Install the Cat6 jack into the Cat6 wall plate and screw into the wall box.

You forgot the most important Making sure you have cat6 cable in the wall. 90% of homes in America won't have cat6 cable in the wall. So running cat6 will likely be your first step.

[stevenellis]

Helped a lot once I found out my internet company well only change one outlet and I have Cat 5e in my house so this video helped a lot

[thomasmesfin]

So I just got the new Verizon router but this one needs cat6 but my house only has phone lines, is it possible to change phone lines to cat6 if so how?

[LayDeeTee]

This assumes you already have CAT 6 wiring & only want to change the wall jack. Older homes won't have CAT 6.

[josesosa]

How do i know if my house has cat 6
I know my house is pre wired with phone jacks, after conversion what and how i hook up to?

[lelandknight]

If I did this to my living space by my router, would I then connect my router to this and the other rooms that have a cat6 connector will then have internet?

[bluesvt]

when i do this would i have to turn anything off or the wires are gonna be fine ? when i touch them ?

[WeAsOneRiseGaming]

Is this as efficient as running ethernet from box to system? Tapping right into wiring?

[jensschroder]

But often you will not have a CAT5 / CAT6 cable for the telephone
but some CAT1 telephone line with maybe only two wires.

[badassuchiha]

I have a Question tho like how the Coaxial comes from your Splitter where does the Telephone or Ethernet Jack connect to from the other End

[Livemusic]

Question? I'm planning on installing spectrum cable at home but it looks like there is no coax cable/outlet can I a ethernet cable. I know i seen a cable (cat 6l style that has been cut years ago. Can I use that ? Will it work ?

[gavenvillarreal]

I tried doing the same thing but with a cat53 jack. I didnt seem to get any connection. But I also didnt get a wire push in tool so I used a flathead screw driver. Any solutions

[zodion]

question for you ( im excited to try this ) so i have a standard internet cord outlet ( the screw on that goes to the back of the modem ) if i have that plugged in will this conversion have an internet connection through the conversion? meaning would i be able to just plug and play for a hard wire connection?

[SirrSkii.]

Should it just automatically identify the internet or do I have to do some wiring and extra stuff for it to work? I have a cat 5e

[rayofvictory]

Nice video! Did you have an ONT on the other end and if yes, how did you disconnect those RJ-11 and hook it to RJ-45 at the source?

[kevs]

Does this only work for cable internet? What about att fiber?

[thejackofalltrades]

How does this work? I have cat cable on the jacks but noticed they’re “daisy chained.” My bedroom connects to the kitchen with only those two wires.

[keithalanisbell]

Our new build will be done in December. We will have a network panel in our laundry room. I noticed we will only have Ethernet ports in 3 places but the rest are phone/cable. Will the method in the video work for my home? I’d like to turn those phone lines into Ethernet. I just didn’t know if there’s anything else I need to do afterwards. Thanks

[korikauffman]

My house was built in 1980 And it has all the old telephone lines could I replace this with cat five or 6

[ludypalacios]

Mine does have Brown or white/brown. Is it still possible or not possible to convert?
