This was the most helpful tutorial ever for RJ45 plugs. Nicely done!
I want to like this comment but I love how the community decided to leave this comment likes on 69 so imma leave it like that
True
i never really comment on youtube, but had to for this video alone. I purchased 1000ft cat 6 uft solid strand at a great price. I got the plugs, boots, crimper, snipper, network rj45 checker, everything...and couldnt make a damn good wire. Then i saw your videos and saw which way to put the guide and bingo! no more bum wires. Thanks so much for explaining, noone else explained it as much as you did. excellent.
Thanks for commenting :-)
One thing you did not show is the side of the CAT-5 and CAT-6 plugs. Look at the side of each plug, and you will see a BIG difference between the two. On a CAT-6 plug the outer sheath of the cable can come much closer to the gold pins.
When you look, you will see the difference without any problem.
I thought this might help.
Nice video you did on the plugs.
This video hit the nail on the head, thank you for sharing. To the point, easy to understand. Cheers!
I have looked everywhere on the net and your video clearing shows the difference between Cat6 and Cat5. I recently purchased 3 cables from 3 sellers on ebay, and it reads on the cable cat6. The cables did not have staggered wires so, I returned the cable. I have read that the size of the wire requires them to be staggered, but I have not found any clear photos showing how they are staggered except for your video. Nice job!
After watching 8 other video's that only showed how to crimp a connector to a cable, this one finally answered all my questions and then some.
Thanks!
Answered my amateur questions in the first 60 seconds. Trying to choose ‘right’ cable to fit to new house being built and what cables I already have. Excellent, thanks.
Thank you for the video, learned a lot. For more than 15 years, I have had a disgust in stranded or 'soft core' cable. The latter almost always seems to 'deteriorate' the connection. Never mind using the correct plugs. I prefer soft 'stranded' and hardcore not be mixed.
So thorough! Answered all my questions and more.
This is the most informative networking video that I've seen in ages, thanks.
Thank you for making this video. I just got done running a CAT6 cable to my workstation, and had the option to use CAT6 RJ45 plugs on it, but opted for CAT5e because it was $10 cheaper, with boots. While it's working fine, after seeing this video, I may want to return those plugs, and get the proper CAT6 plugs, just in case I have issues down the line.
Glad to have stumbled upon this. Didn't realize my network was not getting gigabyte speeds until yesterday when my new switch came in. So had to go to lowes and grab some cat 6. They didn't have any cat 6 heads so I went with 5e. Cable tester showed my cable was fine but modem told me there were issues. Tried a few more. Then was like you know what let me get some proper cat 6 heads. Your video did help explain some differences i was looking for. Appreciate it.
a helpful video that made that actually answered everything plain and simple, it was a pleasure to watch
Thank you for this video, it's of great help. I have that mistake for the longest time. Cat5 rj45 on Cat6 cables. Am glad that I won't make that mistake again.
FINALLY. Thank you very much!!!!! Now this is absolutely amazing way of explaining things with a good attention to every detail thank you sir!
Thanks so much. I had been wondering about this subject for years. You made it all very clear!
This is everything in a nutshell that I wanted to find about RJ45 cables and sockets. Thanks!!
THANK YOU for a VERY INFORMATIVE video! I learned a lot in 12 minutes!! Cheers!!!
This vid you made...absolutely wonderful!!! Very simply and (even better) VISUALLY demonstates exactly what I needed to know to complete my cable terminations. Now I know exactly what I need to buy! THANK YOU!@!@!
Well Done. Just needed a quick refresh on Cat5e vs. Cat6 differences. Impressed by your camera's auto focus.
Thank you so much!! I've been wondering how to tell the difference between Cat5 and Cat6 for a while (yeh.... I never bothered to read the actual cable until now!) Thanks!!
Spot on! Thanks for the great video which answered my questions that were "is there a difference between cat5e and cat6 RJ45 connectors" and "how to tell the difference". Cheers
Great video, You did a really good job of explaining it.
Definitely quick helpful tip. Appreciate your time and effort in explaining!
Great explanation I really needed to know about terminating solid core cable and didn’t know you can get stranded and solid RJ45 connectors
One of the most helpful videos I've ever seen. Thanks my mate
Great video. Very detailed, what I was missing in other people's videos. Thanks.
Thanks my mate Vince! I've been wondering how to tell this difference and even Wikipedia doesn't do it this right.
Great video, I finally found the info I needed. Thank you
very nice
this is how you make a video
clear and in depth
helped me out immensely big thumbs up
Thank you!! Best info on RJ45 connectors. Save me lots of searching.
I was having problem with my Ethernet. I have a gigabit router and a 250 Mbps connection, But my internet speed was stuck at 100 Mbps. I am glad that I saw this. Now changed the cat5E to Cat6. Issue resolved.
Thanks Mate...
Cat 5e can pass 250mbps but there are a lot of knock off cables out there that don't use copper so that may have been the issue
Thanks that was just the info I was looking for! Very Clear explanation!
Thank You! This answers many questions other videos do not address.
Very informative video. I appreciate your effort when you try to get the connectors in focus.
thanks greatly! appreciate you taking time to do this.
Best description i've found, thanks mate
Everything i wanted to know, and more! Very well explained too - i thank you sir! With all those tiny parts, you'd only do better with a microscope or otherwise magnified view of those small pieces. It was all pretty clear nonetheless - very good job :)
Very informative and straightforward. Thank you for this.
8 years ago and still useful Thank you
Very very helpful and very clearly presented. I wasted lots of time before I found this reading nonsense people posted on various fora - they talked about the colour being key! Now I know I have no CAT6 in my collection - RTFCL (read the f-- cable label!)
really great video sir. well done and good job. please post more of such videos.will watch for sure .
Mridul Kaimal Thank you!
Great video short and to the point. You answered my question in the first two or three paragraphs. Thank You :-)
Sunshine & warm greetings to you from Kentucky, USA. Thanks for the great informative video.
Hi Vince, very informative. I am trying to run the phone on existing Cat5e cable in the house with no luck. I should be straight forward
Just really detailed explanation, I hope you have great day and more happiness
Great explanation. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Really great video on RJ 45 Connector, Good job. Keep it up 👍
I really appreciate your effort sir.. Please take a bow from my end..
Thank you so much. This helped me avoid buying Cat5 cables marked as Cat6.
Perfect video man, saved me loads of time. 🍻
Very educative... Thank you
Than you so much for this, still very relevant. This should be on wikipedia tbh. maybe i'll put it in and use this video as an source.
Thanks for the good explanation. I install security cameras and it is very informative.
Excellent Video Sir
Thank you this helped me a lot So glad i found your video
Great video & a lot of help.
Informative as always.
Good one, Yes the RJ45 plug does cause problem for the networking. in a troubleshooting, you must check the RJ45 plug for the problem cables
Great information but now I have found out I have solid Cat6 where I wanted stranded and I'm using plugs for stranded. Back to MonoPrice I go!
Interesting, good presentation, and useful information... Thanks,,,from the US.
Excellent presentation, learned a lot. I wish I knew that before I ripped 50Feet from underground pipe because I thought that the dam cable was at fault as there was no internet connection..... It would not fit into the back of the wall plug (j45 cat 5) cable was cat6!!
Thanks a million for your Vid! it all makes sense now!! got sent a pack of Connectors WITHOUT them little plugs that go inside!! do you PLEASE have some plugs for Cat6??
Much thanks and blessing
Thanks for the tutorial - it's very educated. Best.
Great information, thanks!
The best Video on youtube, you given me wealth of knowledge, but only one question can I use my Cat5e crimper tool for Cat6?
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks, you just cleared up everything.
Really, really well done! Thank you!
Really good explanation. Thank you.
Well done! Thank you for sharing.
Very informative! Thank you
This was very helpful. What could you use for a flat cat 6 ethernet cable?
Thank you so much for this video!
Very very very informative!
Great....Nice explain....thank you.

Thanks for the clear explanation and my question is - I already have cat5 throughout the house as part of my Ethernet POE security installation. I'd like to know is it ok to also run cat6 together with the current cat5 house system as I don't fancy doing ti all over again, I'd also like to know can I use cat6 cable with feed thru cat5 connectors and if they will also work ok with my house cat5 installation - thanks mate :)
Nice video, very helpful
Hello and thanks for your great video. One quick question, is the crimped the same in the case of Cat5e and of CAT6?
awesome and informative video, thank you
very informative, thank you.
Thank you, really helped me out. :)
Nice job man, thanks
Excellent video. Many thanks.
Thank you for a great video
Great tutorial, thanks a lot
That was informative, Vince are the chipset’s at the Ethernet socket much different for C6 than for C5 etc?
I have read CAT 6 is ok with 24AWG if it meets the specifications and therefore you won't have staggering. It is only where the manufacturer has used thicker cores to meet the specification that the core diameter requires staggering.
That explains why I have bought Cat.6 RJ45 plugs that are not staggered... Thought that they were fake.
But it is a question of the thickness of the leads?
Best explain and precise
good vid, thanks
Thanks a lot for the video info, God bless
great explanation thanks
You’re awesome. Great video
Thanks for making these videos :D. You could use an inexpensive USB microscope to show detail of small items....
Very informative. Thank you
A very useful video.
Nicely explained!!!!
Thank you for this!
And I was looking for Cat videos lol!!!
lol...Always the way with youtube!!!! I always end up with an snake eating an alligator or some bizarre animal contest.
If you look hard enough you might just be able to find some of those on the internet.
How to tell the difference between CAT and DOG
this would require there being 6 CATS and there is difference between CAT5e and CAT6. Sounds like an interesting video. Anyway I just got posted CAT5e RJ45's and i ask for CAT6. I think there is quite a few scammers out there.
lmao!!! meow!
Great details, thanks
