- - - - -
Copper network cabling is one of the most popular ways to connect our computing devices, but not every copper cable is created alike. In this video, you’ll learn the fundamentals of twisted pair cabling, copper cable categories, cable termination standards, and much more.

Hope this helps out anybody that struggles to remember the T568A & T568B standards. This is how I was taught

Remember GGOBBOBB as in "Go Bob" for T568A. Every odd number pin has white in it. And browns are always last like the Cleveland Browns (besides this season, they're killing it)

For T568B, just switch the greens and oranges, every odd number pin is still white. Hope this helps someone.

Hey everyone good luck on your studies! I have passed the second part to this test. I am retaking the first part on Monday!

[davidmorey]

Your courses are excellent. I feel like I'm retaining the information and it's presented in a very easy to understand way even though I've only been in IT for 11 months. Hoping to take my cert test next month. Thank you for all your help and guidance!

Unfortunately I discovered this channel late !! I’m having my camptia A+ in 2 weeks I feel stressed 😩

Switching careers from electrical. Glad to see some skills/knowledge will transfer over

What are the real differences between 5 and 5e? Thanks!

[jimmytopete]

I’m an hvac contractor that is changing careers and I was confused when the plenum came into the video 😂

[The-OGRE]

Is there a real world difference between T586A and T568B or is it some kind of personal preference? Is the signal better in one or the other? What makes the difference for a horizontal or vertical run?

Many sources like Meyer's book says that Cat 5 has a maximum of 100Mbs.
But some other sources including Messer say Cat 5 has 1000Mbs.
What's the answer here?

[MeatPlanet]

Phew what a section. Still wrapping my head around it but its helping.

[Acheron.]

Do T568A and T568B only apply for example to large companies setting up their offices? Is there any real world difference at home or something to look out for if you had to pick up an extra cable from Best Buy or Amazon for example?

[samsuncles]

The Networking section was difficult - I've just started studying for A+

[jeffnaval]

is the 568a cable also called straight cable? and 568b cable also a crossover cable?

[dc]

At around @9:49 it says (I'm summarizing) that the same type of connection (i.e. 568A or 568B) on each end of a cable should be the only way that the cable is created. However, isn't a crossover cable the opposite of that? (i.e. 568A one end and 568B on the other). Or am I misunderstanding something. The video doesn't seem to mention crossover cables so my knowledge is based on book readings. If anyone can clarify it would be appreciated. Great video series, thank you!

[xRoyalty]

In both this video and in your notes you specify to never terminate one end with 568A and the other with 568B. This is the definition of a crossover cable, isn't it? I've had two practice exams mention this and Meyers does as well in his book. I'm wondering why you've neglected to mention that caveat.

[christ]

looking at a cable and it just says 24AWG UTP?

i dont see anything like S/UTP or F/UTP....its just UTP, does that mean that the overall cable and the individual cables are U?

[adamcoon]

What are the respective theoretical bandwidths for each category?

[alecirwin]

Really struggling professor with all the different cable types and speeds any idea how I can make it easier to understand all these as test coming up and I don't feel confident in this area thanks

[vibezz]

Will we get tested on cabling standards?
