If that laptop doesn't have an RJ-45 [1] socket on it, it's not a business/enterprise unit. [2] Full stop.

[1] Yes, technically 8P8C modular connector, but nobody calls it that.

[2] That makes it a consumer-grade machine, and should be treated as having an expiry date as long as its 1-year warranty. Every day after that is a gift.

Wait you can run 2.5GBase-T over CAT 5e cables?

And according to the wikipedia article HDBaseT can get 10.2 Gbit/s over Cat 5 cables.

What?!? I kinda thought you'd need CAT 7 cables for that.

There for sure have to be range implications, right? Like you don't get these speeds over 50 or 100 meters, right???

How far behind am I on the "latest happenings in networking"?

This may be the outside scoop, so I beg your pardon if so.

There's a newer style of crimp RJ-45 / 8P8C connector housing which is easier to use. Unlike the ones that have been around forever, you feed the wires all the way through the housing, so they stick out the front a little. Then the crimping tool cuts them off flush while crimping the contacts.

I haven't used them - I share your frustrations with making cables, particularly with stranded cable - but they are apparently much easier to get a reliable connection with.

Might be worth a try. They're commonly labelled "passthrough" connectors. I'm not recommending this particular seller or listing, it just has some good images:

So I bought #keystones for the first time and I can whole heartily say, never work with #RJ45 again without them.

These things truly are a blessing and it is much easier to attach these thin wires onto them by splicing than with those horribly crimp pliers.

You also have passthrough keystones for if you already have a crimped RJ45.

If you can tell what’s wrong here, I feel sorry for you. I also feel sorry for me, because I have at least two of these. 🫠😞😭

On today’s menu : troubleshooting why one of my in-wall Ethernet (the one I care about) doesn’t work

After endless reterminations, I found out I had plugged the router on the other side on the wrong plug…

After fixing this, a simple cable nudge fixed the issue…

I've cut myself from the landline where my ISP only offers xDSL over copper

VDSL2 peaks at just 10 MBits/s here, giving you barely the ability to fill 1.5 TB of HDD Space, assuming 50% of available, actual available, bandwidth

They are charging a ridiculous amount of money for that obsolete technology also.

Wat peeved me is that the Power Company replaced the utility poles especially for the ISP which then disregarded the work and refused to pull the fiber optic cables with the Fiber Access Terminals in the street

On the 4G networks I can reach 100 megabits

I've stopped working with obsolete xDSL network devices. I have an ISP Fiber who installed Fiber to the CURB and Fiber to the Home simultaneously just to make money. They installed the obsolete fiber to the curb systems to milk people into making them think that xDSL is a way for the future.

Meanwhile on quite stable 4G Networks they give the speeds that you see in the screenshot. I can reach more than 40 MBit per second! I would rather be ad hoc on the internet, then have a slow obsolete 10 MBit connection over two copper wires.

I am finally enjoying the internet again when it comes down to speed

Битва с кабелями

Позвольте поведать вам о моем, мягко говоря, нестандартном испытании на должность компьютерного специалиста. Передо мной поставили задачу, казавшуюся на первый взгляд несложной: соединить устаревший iMac с телевизором, находящимся на значительном (30 метров) расстоянии в офисе.

I really like the idea of making my own DIY ethernet cables that can be more cost effective and have the added benefit of I can make them as long or short as I need it be. The only downside is it's not immediately cheaper, because I need the crimping tool for the connectors and only after awhile it becomes more cheaper after I made a couple of them compared to buying off the shelf ones.

Ich bin mir extrem unsicher und unschlüssig.
Unifi finde ich gut, weils schlicht aussieht.
Netgear, weil ich ein paar Netgear Produkte besaß und ich diese sehr gut fand.
Aber Netgear sieht eher edler aus und integriert sich weniger auffällig.

Learning by doing here… The first set of RJ45 connectors I bought had individual holes for each wire sort of arranged in a double deck.

The second set (shielded) has an open, zig zagish shape. WOW so much easier to thread the wires through this design.

If you are going to be doing any hardwiring, get the zigzag ones. 🤩
