    Very instructive videos as always, sir.
    It's also worth mentioning that, for example, Cat 5 cables use only 2 out of the 4 twisted pairs to reach 100 Mbps speed and to achieve 1 Gbps speed, all 4 pairs must work flawlessly or the speed will fall back to 100 Mbps.

    S(hielded)TP is not the same what F(oiled)PT is. In STP shield is made as metal braid/mesh. FTP cables has metalized foil. Differences is that the STP needs to be connected with ground to work. FTP doesn't need (but can be if cable has special conductor strand) to be grounded because metalized foil distracts EMI on its surface. FTP should not be used whitout actual need; they can self-interfere. CAT 7 and 7a are not TIA/EIA standards and it are not backward compatible with 8p8c connectors. These are designed to use with GG45 or TERA connectors. Propper replacement for CAT 5e are CAT 6a and CAT 8 Class I which are use 8p8c.

  • @TrueThanny
    @TrueThanny 4 роки тому +46

    Something not covered in this video, and very important for making patch cables, is the difference between solid and stranded wires. Some cable ends work well with either solid or stranded wires, while others only work well with stranded. In general, if you're making patch cables, go with stranded.
    Beyond that, if you're wiring inside the walls, make sure it's riser rated. That just means there's something (typically a string) inside the sheath that physically supports the weight of the wire other than the wires themselves. CAT6 comes in riser-rated varieties, but it's also inherently suitable for in-wall wiring by design, as there's a plastic separator between pairs that effectively supports the weight of the wire as well. If you're wiring a commercial building, you also need to make sure the wires are plenum rated. That means the outer sheath is of a material that will not catch fire when subjected to extreme heat (it'll just melt).
    The only other thing I'd add is that all modern ethernet switches automatically detect whether a cable is straight through or crossover, and set up the connection accordingly (it's called auto MDI-X). Even a lot of ports on NICs and laptops support auto MDI-X. So it generally doesn't matter which cable type you use, unless you're connecting older hardware.

    • @cryptearth
      @cryptearth 2 роки тому +2

      fun fact: auto MDI-X is part of the gigabit spec - so any 1gbit port has it - hence if you use gbit crossover cables are obsolete

By the way, I saw a video of a Category 8 cable being prepared. Each pair is shielded in addition to the bundle, and that serves a secondary purpose as the second wire in each pair doesn't usually have a stripe. The narrator indicated that the dyes used in other cables for the stripe can cause less than optimal results. Has anyone else heard that?

    When I used to pull cable, I can;t do ladder work for health reasons now, it always specified that we use STP. Especially if there were fluorescent light ballasts in the ceiling. Good video and well explained.
