Adding New Cat6A Ethernet Network Cable Around the House! Thanks to FS for Sponsoring this Install!

Why did you not put the cable spool on a pipe or broom handle suspended between two chairs to unspool the cable?

Rookie

Please tell me what is the name of this job that he is doing ?

Network Admin here: some RJ45 caps will not work with certain termination tools. For best results - match Klein brand termination tools to Klein brand pass through RJ45 heads. Everything can look right if you mix and match (and may even completely work for certain combinations) but will fail a cable certification which means your end device will not form a successful connection with your network.

@ SPX Labs' couldn't you have just used a pull string to run the other 3 after you found out how long they needed to be?

Wish you had demonstrated attaching the cable to the connector.

I’ve never had or seen someone smile when running cables in the feeling…..

Now that is on sexy spool of cable!

Hope to copy this exactly. Why 4 data ports behind TV? Nice job!

Most of the cables have the remaining length mentioned around every meter (3 feet). Subtracting those numbers (tv - cabinet) should have told you how much cable you used.

I recommend the Sonos Arc. FYI, DO NOT hardwire in any Sonos speakers as it can create a loop in your network. I found out the hard way.

I’m on my 2nd roll of 1k foot of 6a. Fun winter project. I have 13 cameras and the 4 drive NVR. Also 2 of the outdoor LED motion lights. I’ll be hanging more of them as I really do like them.

Cat 8 bro. Your already outdated.

Is it possible to connect my internet modem to my smart tv with wire in an approximately 30 meter distance ? If yes what cable is the best ? Thank you .

Why these sockets when you could just make RJ45 connectors
Any such connection simply adds beauty but increases interference

Dude, WTF's up with that attic? Hope it never snows there.

I have an ethernet on the room above my home office. Is it possible to split that connection and bring that cable down? I have access to the attic right above my home office. The room with the ethernet connection is slightly to the right. I hate Wifi extenders!!! They crash constantly and keep losing my remote desktop connection to my work computer

Nice video... and also shout out to Trey24k! :D haha could it be you are a fan of Tarkov? awesome

i love overkill

I'm thinking about just using the coax the previous owner has in every room (from Dish and cable) with Moca.. just switched to fiber (waiting in line for home install)..

Tarkov!

I would have installed the network ports behind the furniture, tv only needs one but your consoles, media players, etc might need the other ones. So that way only one cable goes up the side of the wall

Sigh... cutting the excess cable when you could have pulled it on the roof or behind the rack. Pulling out the cable to measure the length when you could have used a cable that had length counter printed on it (if that cable doesn't already have one printed). not pulling some drag line or some wire with the cable for future use...

Beautiful work. Great video.

Why run 3 cables ? One cat6a is enough bandwith for home entertainment equipment. Just add a simple 5 port switch behind tv

Great video and what a beautiful house you have. Congrats!

Great video!

What kind of in wall speakers would you get?

My man actually pulled up a tray24k stream on the TV. What a legend

Why on earth would you run Cat6A for a camera?? Cat5e would be more than sufficient and a quarter of the cost.

You pull down with gravity

house has 5e for telephone and i ran about 8 cat6 lines... eventually id have to redo the 5e when 2.5gb comes standard

Is your preference for new home CAT6A shielded or unshielded ?
Thank you

Man, I cannot make it through one of your videos, with all the up-talking.

I love it thanks.

And here come the keyboard warriors telling you what you did wrong.

Any idea how you'd do this in a house with two floors? Getting cable down to the bottom floor from the loft seems like only way would be to pull away the skirting, and cut holes in the walls and even then you've got to get the line down the floor joist gap and In behind the plasterboard in the floor below.

It was the Trey24k Tarkov stream for me

nice video check my channel out for daily fiber optic splicing Fiber Splice God

Seriously good video on this with some great tips. Short, simple and to the point! Also some A+++ tips and tricks from the community in this comment section too. Great job all around!

Thank you for showing the drywall clean up. So satisfying 😌

Great video 👍

Great video of your install.

If you haven’t already, I’d also recommend creating a MAC filter on any switch port that has a cable going to the outside of the house.

If by weird chance someone does get to your outside camera and hooks up to the Cat6 going into it, they have open access to your home network. With a MAC filter and adding only your MAC address of your UniFi camera, you’ll eliminate that possibility.

Don't spools of cable usually have distance markings on them so you can just use that instead of pulling it back out to measure it?

Good stuff man! Hey, what kind of camera did you use for this video --if you don't mind me asking?

mule tape is a pullers best friend.. just sayin
