- 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 )

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.
I agree with you. By the way, he was not careful to set the outlet at the same height as the nearby electrical outlet. Not professional at all.
So do those flat ethernet cables not have this issue?

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!
Great; thanks for the nice comments and I like your channel name!!
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.
Yeah, I definitely would have lined it up with the other outlet. And given it am actual low voltage box too (this seems like a weird scenario to use drywall anchors in).
Seriously this annoyed me to hell. And calling it professional afterwards.
Great explanation. Very helpful!
Thank you!
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.
Thanks mate this was a big help :)
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.
Thank you for watching! Here is video update for this install.

Awesome Jacob I really appreciate you sticking with my channel through all the ups and downs. Thank for watching and for being loyal to my channel.
Great video, thanks so much.
Your welcome and thanks for watching!!
Great intro!!😎👍🏽
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.
very clean and organized room’s.
you could have just bought an RJ45-to-RJ45 keystone, avoiding you having to cut and re-terminate the cable.
True. But this helped me learn that skill. Thanks for your information as well.
i use rj45 to rj45 keystone couplers in my network installations. (blue of course) yeah he could have bought a shorter 3 foot cable. or do what i do and get the cable in bulk. can make patch cables all day long that way. i bought 300 pass through rj45's just to make sure i do not run out.
Thank you. I just watch your video to put ethernet from my office to the living room to hard wire a roku.🦇
Awesome, Glad my video helped. Thank you for watching!
Would running the cat6 from one point to the other and connecting it at a back plate adapter work instead of making a cut?
Hey, I have a couple questions so here's a liitle bit of info. My house already has CAT6 connection outlets already installed on 2 floors. Can I just plug it into my computer and it'll do its thing or do I need to do other steps. Also, where do I hook my router to make all the CAT6 connectors work? Will this also effect the wifi speed aswell?
Thanks for the video it helped out
I have another video that shows how to wall fish 2 cat6 cables from the attic so make sure to check it out. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video, well explained !

Thank you for the amazing video. Would of haved to pay at&t like $100 to do all this, but now I got this diy job done.
Glad it helped and thanks for watching.
Thank im going to tell my dad about this bc I want a ithernet cable but its only 1 in the living room thank you
Amazing tutorial 😎
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
Quick question instead of having the open mount shown could you have 2 female wall ports?
For example if one of the cables ends up going bad because of various reasons you would need to redo the entire cable alternatively if you have 2 female ports the wire is 100% in the wall. You would need an ethernet cable to go from the wall to the router but it should still work right?
Wanting to confirm this before doing it.
Yes this should work. I have 2 ports in one plate in 2 of our rooms. More ports always better. Thabks for watching!!
This is what I plan on doing, going from my bedroom were the router is, have a double female cable, to plug in the incoming cable, then I can connect a cable on the other side to wire the living room
Thanks for information, god bless you
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
AWESOME Video!
Thank you for watching I really appreciate it. I have plenty of Networking videos so make sure to check them out.
Don’t forget to use that string to strip the outer insulation off of the wire. Wire strippers can score the inner wires.
Yep I've used that string many many times however I've been wiring ethernet cables for so long I can strip the wires without cutting the inner wires. But thank you for noticing and since this is an instructional video I should have used the string. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
@@UltimateTechHub String? And how are you able to just stuff the wires inside the CAT6 jack without removing the insulation?
@@ITX-EcoClass There are little contact blades on the jack that pierce through the insulation of the smaller wires when you punch them down.
@@ITX-EcoClass Inside the cable housing is a thin string you can pull on which will cut/tear the housing as you pull the string down the length of the cable.
great job bro!

is a two wall port for two ethernet about the same or different?
Transition sound effects improved this video 10x
Don't the cables have to be cm cmr or cmp rated? Please advise
Seeming as my router is in the garage and my pc is in the office, could I connect my router to the wall socket through the wall, then my pc direct into the wall ? Same thing right ?
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
Thank you for watching and I have many other videos covering this type of installation.
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.
Sounds like a good plan. It's really not the difficult to do. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.
A nail set is a great tool to install wall anchors with no drilling required and even makes a tapered hole in the drywall.
Great advice! Here is an Update I did on this installation.

Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
So what if I already have an Ethernet outlet thing and want to hook up my router across the room to my room outlet how does that work? Hope that made sense.
That ehternet port you want to connect to your router has a wire that goes somewhere in your house. Usually a network panel or box. That area is where your router should be and that ethernet wire needs to connect to the routers LAN port. I hope that helps. I have about 90 videos in My Ultimate Home Networking Playlist so make sure to check them out. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it!
My wifi isn’t working and my apartment supplies it thought it was router and they said it was up and working but it’s not I think it’s out jack how do I fix if
I have a cabinet with the whole house wiring for telecom. I want to move the router to the kitchen where there’s a Jack but I don’t know if it’s just for a phone or if it is for wireless router plug. The kitchen wire in the cabinet of wires is labeled and has a lot of colored wire. Can I just connect those to the blue Internet wire by twisting?
And get set up the router in the kitchen?
Great video.
Im in a process of installing cameras and one side connects fo the camera could i use this same process to connect the ethernet cables into another room to the to the nvr
It will save me running unnecessary cables around the room and.

Do you think routing the ethernet cat5e cable outisde or through between the walls is a better solution? I just recently bought a Lorex 4K NVR box link below:

And the Ethernet cable that came with the set is a CAT5E 30m cable. Link below:

Do you think what will be the best practice for a longer life span for wires / better performance for video / data quality. I live in Canada and here the temp can go from -20 degrees to all the way to +40 degrees in summer. So what would be the suggestion for me. Here in Canada we have brick wall outside and in between, there is drywall and wood. What will you recommend?
thank you
Do you recommend this for an external job? I have a home based office and I built a new office in the back and need to run Ethernet cable from the existing office (where the modem is) to the new office, by crossing the roof
If it's going to be an outside run you need to have the cable(s) in a conduit for protection from the weather. Electrical conduit works great. Hope this helps and keep me posted. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.
Can you use this procedure to put wall Jack's on both sides of the wall. I have no cables coming out of the wall so I need to plug an ethernet cable on both sides. One to the network modem and one to my wife's work computer in the bedroom
Absolutely, I will make a video on that insallation next month. Here is an update video where I added an additional cat6 jack and the low voltage gang bracket. Thanks for watching!

What if you want to do this all to support Cat 8?
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.
Yep its not that expensive and it's fairly easy. Here is a video on how to install the low voltage gang box and adding a second data port.
ua-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/v-deo.html
Thank you for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!
You are underestimating the cable cost and cable-pulling scope of this installation. What is shared here is just a very simple port installation. Your dad will know the pain of it. Talk to him instead, might get a better picture from a professional.
Do you need a really long drill bit or can you just drill both sides of the wall?
A long drill bit is easier. Otherwise you might not line up the 2 holes exactly. Thanks for watching.
Will this work for gaming and if I’m not near the router like right next to it I’m below the router so would this still work
Yes it will work for gaming!
hey there thank you for this video, i have a query related to ethernet, i have a wall mount ethernet (1port) which connects directly to the tv, however i have another device that i wish to connect via ethernet which is in a different room, and wifi signal is not the greatest. Would you recommend finding an ethernet splitter so i get more inputs or would a usb to ethernet adaptor work just as well connecing to the tv?
In the room with the 1 port you can connect a 5 port switch. Then connect an ethernet from theb switch to the TV and then connect an ethernet from the switch to the other device.
@@UltimateTechHub thank you so much for your advice! :)
I'm trying to do the same thing, although I have two coaxial outlet boxes ( I dont need or will ever use) I want to replace with an internet ehternet? jack boxes. My router is in my living room and it be easier to plug from that wall and plug whatever in need for internet in my master bedroom. This the same but just cutting both ends of cable for cat6 jack?
They make coax the etherent adapters for around 75 to 80 dollars. Otherwise you need to run ethernet from the router to the different rooms. You can use the coax box but you will need to cut or drilll a hole in it to fish the etherent through.
Thanks, appreciate the reply
Will this work if I was to put wall jacks on both ends and then plug my router into the wall jack?
Absolutely and that's what ended up doing a few months later. I will probably make a video about that. Thanks for watching!
How do we do if its on a different floor?
Any tips on running a cat6 up through a unfinished basement to a wall port?
You can this video it might help. It's from attic to first floor. ua-cam.com/video/qcET-OgrCCY/v-deo.html
I have female to female ethernet, wire it up the same?
Instead of measuring (2:00m), just drill a small pilot hole through the center of the existing wall box to get an exact center?
Hey, great video. I was wondering if you could help me. I have poor Wifi signal upstairs in my house as the main internet point is downstairs. I would like an ethernet connection in a room upstairs to connect my PC to.
Is it possible to do this with only a router? By which I main an ethernet cable connected to my router, this cable is fed up through the walls and into a Cat6 jack/wallplate, and connect my PC to my new socket? Thank you!
Yes absolutely! You can also add a switch to that room for more ports. Good luck and keep me posted! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it!
Use Network Adapter for Ethernet Over Coax called MoCA. It's AWESOME!!!
They are great if that's your only option, little spendy especially compared to Ethernet cable
Can i patch two lan cable on one jack for wifi lan socket and the other on for pc lan wall socket.. plz help
you need to use a switch to give you multiple ports, you can't splice multiple cat6 wires off one like you can with electrical wiring.
how would you do this if you room is on the 2nd floor and the router is on the 1st?
You can run a cat6 through the floor. Just make sure there are no pipes or electrical wires in the area you will be drilling. The other way is the run a cable from inside to the outside of the wall. Then run the cable to the second floor and drill back into the second floor wall.
So you got 2 connections. One connection from the router to the wall plate jack and the other from the wall plate jack to the device. Does this slow down speeds? Wondering why one wouldn't just drill large enough hole in a blank wall plate and run the ethernet from the router straight to the device eliminating the connection at the wall plate jack. Overall my question is will the way you did it slow down speed?
The reason I did it this way was for the clean look. Yes running a wire through a wall through a faceplate with a hole would work. But it doesn't look for nice. As fat as the speeds it doesn't slow upload or download speeds. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed thank you as well!
@@UltimateTechHub Could you plug an ethernet cable from your new socket into another switch in that room giving you more ports & if you can does that affect speed or bandwidth?
@@bepto4877 Yes.
Query can you paint these?
Wht if the house is like a resort each room is far away but my room and the router is not so far but the wall is stone is it possible to put the cable on terrian like outside im gonna out some White cover for it
You can use a stone drill bit to drill through the stone wall. Other option is to run it along a baseboard or through the ceiling.
Consider a professional or a mesh wireless system. Eero and Orbi are popular mesh wireless setups.
We hope this video helps you learn how to run ethernet through a wall and connect it to a wall jack. Enjoy and as always thank you for watching!
SO SO much wrong with this, Stranded patch cable wire is not meant to be put in to punchdown, Where is your Low-Voltage ring to mount the face plate. like other have said it's crooked, why did you not center this with the outlet next to it. you might as well as just hammered a hole in wall. THIS is not a professional job!!!
What can I do to fix an existing wall jack that isn’t working
@@locke3859There are 2 things that can cause the wire not to work. First either end of the cable has a broken RJ45 connector or its not wired correctly and second a cut in the wire somewhere. That's it.
If you install this specific Ethernet cable in one point in a house to another point in an ADU. With a length of roughly about 40 metres. Will you lose speeds in the ADU if you have your modem running at the point in the house? Or can you achieve the same speeds at each end of the run.
@@Allnonym0u5 It should be the same speeds.
Can I connect two wall jack together with ethernet cable? Like if i have my modem in room A, i can connect a cable to wall jack in A and get the internet to room B?
You can do that but you will only get max 100Mbps for each wall jack. The better way to do this to attach the ethernet cable to a switch ( 5 or 8 ports ) and you will have plenty of connections at 1Gbps. These switches are about 20 bucks! I have links in my video descriptions.
I am bloooown away at how simple you made this. Another skill I have learned.
Thanks for watching!
i know this is an old video and you probably do not come back to it, but i hope you do.
I just got my first ever house, it is a little old. I was wondering if I wanted to replace the existing coax cable with ethernet, would it be a similar type of way? i have been looking all over and cant find a video related to that.
Any help is good. thank you.
Use your existing coax w/ MoCA. Coverts your coax to 1 Gig ethernet. About $40 per jack. No cutting or wiring. Just plug n play simple. I like ScreenBeam on Amazon.
@@bradsanders4382 thank you
Can you buy a wall plate where u simply plug in the cat 6 cable into the back of it to save messing with wiring
I believe so. It's more expensive so that's why I showed the cheapest way to make this work. Probably costs around 25 or 30 dollars. Make sure its a cat6 so it will handle the 10 gig speeds. Thank you for watching and for commenting.
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.
I installed a low voltage bracket about 3 weeks later and straightened up the wall plate to match the other plate. Here is the video I did on the install.
ua-cam.com/video/4CUyU_v2qS0/v-deo.html
How do I do this from the second floor to the first floor?
Thank I need to know also
Will this work with a corded drill?
Yes it will.
Nice but easy install - I was hoping that you can show us routing an ethernet cable from a wiring patch panel on the 2nd floor to a living room on the 1st floor OR routing a cable from one wall to another wall in the same room, Thanks!
Well my house is only a single story. Wiring and running ethernet cable from 2nd story to 1st floor can be tricky depending on how you want to run the cable. If you run it through walls and drop it down a wall it can get a bit messy especially if there is a fire stop and plumbing or other electrical wiring. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out my other Ultimate Home Networking videos.
Can you plug the Ethernet cable that’s in the jack to a Xbox or pc?
Yes
Question here. @00:40 What is the wall trim plate in the middle called and where can I get those? I want to run four premade ethernet cables through my wall and that is the ideal solution for me. Thanks in advance!

@@UltimateTechHub Thanks for your speedy reply. I found some of those on Amazon. I am merely running four ethernet cables from my "office" where my network equipment is located to my living room which is next to my "office". I needed to keep it simple and cheap.
@@williamjones4483 Cheap and simple is what I do!! Lol!
Why dont you need to peel the cables before pushing them down? Are they still getting connection?
You don't need to strip the wires. Once they are pushed down they make the connection. I've made dozens of wall jack plugs and this is exactly how its done. Thanks for watching!
It wouldn't take much extra time to do this job right. Get a P-Ring from Home Depot and use the drywall saw to cut it in. It really wouldn't take much effort to get this job done right.
or a low voltage bracket. My mind was melting from watching this video. Does he have any idea how big of a hole those anchors would make if he had to remove them? Also the sheetrock might even cut into the cable itself.
Could you go into detail a bit more? I want to do something like what this video shows but a lot of comments saying he's doing it wrong.
@@louiswilliamson5937 What are you stuck on?
would a female to female rj45 connector be inadequate for installing an ethernet cable through my walls? Someone just starting in on researching what to use and what not to use.
You can do that but its not recommended. A wired keystone is more secure and will not become disconnected like a female to female coupler. I would just wire the keystone like in my video. I have dozens of videos on Home Networking so make sure to watch them to get more comfortable with this installation. Thank you for watching!
@@UltimateTechHub thanks muchly!
I'm planning to have an installation done and cabler is going to be using something like that standard cable between the length of 40 m (131 ft) to 50 m (164 ft) That's gotta be a standard indoor Cat6 cable right Can you use that for outdoor installation given that cable is placed inside a conduit for roughly about 10 m (32 ft) because part of the installation is going to be outdoor above ground strung up by roof overhang level According to electrician cable installer conduit is able to protect (length part of cable exposed outdoor) from direct UV rays or sunlight and various temperatures changes so cable maintains maximum performance
Yes the conduit will protect the cat6 cable no problem.
@@UltimateTechHub Thanks sir

@@dfogarty93 I've never tried that but it could work.
My main question is what you did on the original wall to have the cable added.
Nice vid but it’s always good too leave some twist on that copper
Is there a way to have the Jack go on both sides of the wall?
Do you mean a wall jack connected to another wall on the other side? You can do that but it wont have any internet connectivity.
Could’ve also used a retro box
And get the height from the outlet beside it to make sure it’s at standard height
Yep definitely but I just wanted to keep it simple and under 20 dollars. Thanks for watching.

How to match color of wire to other side of RJ45 some time different company follow different color
There are 2 different wire patterns for the rj45. The only difference between T568A and T568B is that the orange and green pairs are interchanged. T568A wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern. So check to see which pattern it is the do the same on the other end. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching!
i want to do something similar but for every room and somehow connect everything and hide it in the utility room
I need to go through the wall from both sides.
13 year old be made a hole in the drywall and ran a lan Cable from the living room to ny room. I didn't use a fancy wall plate or any adapters. The only thing I used was a screwdriver to make the hole.
If you want it to look like crap, that's one way to do it. Another way would be to keep things unlevel like this guy in the vid did...
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?
are you sure that they aren't already cat5e or cat6 cables just snipped and used for the RJ11 jacks? try and get a look at the cables to see what they are In my place they RJ11 jacks were cat5e but only some of the wires were used
Having pre-run wires is actually helpful since you can use those old phone lines as a makeshift fish tape (wire pulling tool). Hardest thing to do would be finding where those wires originate. Simply attach the new cable using electrical tape where it originates, go to where the original cable terminates and pull it out slowly. As it pulls out it'll take the new cable with it.
Why not send the wire where the coax outlet is and convert the coax outlet into a coax and Ethernet combo outlet? This is what I have done. Fewer outlets on the wall.
Nice Video
I could have done that but I wanted to show this technique if you don't have a coax outlet in either room. Thank you for watching.
Two additional thing that help a small level and a low voltage box
I did both a few weeks later. Here is the video.

Im about to install this but i just wanna know what the maximum speed is since we have gigabit Ethernet in our house and I dont want to lack it. Edit: Just searched it up and it supports 10gbps. Will install later
My speeds are around 740 mbps and I have 1 gig fiber. Thanks for watching and for commenting!
