  1. Thanks for the replies. Given I’ve manually tested the most worrisome cables I think I’m going to close up where I can but slowly terminate and test half of each redundant cable pair I’ve prewired.

    Feeling much less anxious now.

  3. Help! I’ve prewired an old European apartment with CAT6a, around 50 drops to a sigle area. They run above suspended ceiling and behind plasterboard on brick.

    Before I close off walls and ceilings I need to test them all. I’ve started doing the testing with a wire pair continuty tester. This works but it’s slow.

    So, is there a technique or tool that might be quicker?

    Or am I better just terminating them all with keystones and testing with regular kit?

  5. @pee another good reason to avoid Nexxt products... but surprised nonetheless ! Or are they just dumping the defective sub-standard stuff in Africa?

  6. Finally finished pulling all the CAT6 (non-conduited) permanent links (29 in total) in our 350sqft guest house and have just about finished a 1,000ft box of cable. This is going to be one well connected building!

    #xlr ist ja nicht #cat6 oder sowas, sondern einfach nur strippe für mikro oder so.

    kann eigentlich nicht sein.

  12. No matter how much you plan, you WILL need to pass another #cat6 #cable for #ethernet
    In this case, I have two #PoE devices (a camera and an access point) and I don't want to spend 100€ on a PoE passthrough switch (plus the energy it will consume from now on...)

  16. Nach Jahren der Aufschieberitis jetzt im Urlaub endlich die Garage gepatched. Mal sehen ob die Motivation noch für die Wallbox reicht. Kein WLAN an stationären Geräten!1!
    Leider hab ich kein Händchen für Glas. Alle bei Sanierungen verlegten Kabel sind von den Handwerkern irgendwo beschädigt worden. Also muss es #cat6 tun.

  17. @ricci I didn't have to do nearly as many and I was compelled to come up with this amusing mnemonic to ensure I did the colours right every time.

  18. Oh Toto. 👀

    And the MAGA want to kill off weather.

    But now, climate change threatens to make these #storms worse, and new science makes the case for a Category 6 that begins when #winds exceed 192 miles per hour. Five different storms that all formed in the past nine years would fit this designation, and to brace for more, scientists are planning to build a new #hurricane lab to test these so-called #Cat6 hurricanes.

  19. For the record ⚠️ THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A #CAT6 #Hurricane ⚠️ on earth! 🌏

    Theoretically, if one could exist it looks like this 🌀

  21. #PDX nerds: I'm embarking on a home #networking project and need about 250 ft of quality solid copper #Cat6 (or better) cable. Before I buy new, is anyone holding? Anyone with a half-used spool gathering dust in the garage? I'd much rather buy someone's leftovers. Thanks!

  22. Well, I decided my #home #wifi #network could use a little update; just to get #cat6 running to all the #ethernet ports in the #house.

    Despite having run my own #routers in the past (#DDWRT and #pfsense) I'm going to give #TPLink another shot.

    Went with a #wifi7 model just to future proof a little.

  23. My #superpower is: I'm able to #crimp an #ethernet cable in which not a single wire, out of 8, is conductive end to end.

  24. When you're using a Radio Shack part for a project and want to get more... 😥 Wondering if anyone sells a modern version of this keystone jack: It's got little notches for these little plastic caps which cover the port.

    You can get little fake RJ-45 filler plugs but they don't create as clean of a look.

  25. After putting it off for many years, I finally gave in and bought a 30 Meter roll of #Cat6 FTP #ethernet #cable, crimping tool, plugs, etc. to cut my #network cables exact to size. It‘s also so much cheaper than buying those fixed length cables.

    I replaced most cables and especially the old, poorly shielded cheap ones. Also the ones for my #hue hubs. My home network has never been faster and #smarthome stuff in general has never been more responsive. The extend of the improvement surprised me.

  26. Pretty sure fixed long term issue of #WiFi working better than wired with #CAT6 cable replacing unknown CAT cable working with #VerizonFIOS router.

    Newfoundland, Canada's Category VI will be releasing their new album Firecry toward the end of March via Moribund Records, and in lead up to it ear worming its way to fans along with celebrating International Women's Day that passed earlier this week, the quartet is sharing their next single "Valkyries...

  34. Installed 30m #CAT6 cable to one of the other houses on the property yesterday. The #ethernet tester said OK on all 8 lights - but connecting up the switches showed no signal. Used a 50cm #CAT5e patch cable.

    Used another 50cm CAT5e patch cable - still no go.

    Used a 15cm CAT6 patch cable - all good.

    my head hurts now
