This is probably the smallest upgrade with the biggest impact on my home network, and mainly for the cluster. It's a 10Gbit RJ45 SFP+ adapter, so NAS04 can use the full 10Gbit (instead of 2.5Gbit) it supports.

TIL: RJ11 (old telephone cord) cables will plug into RJ45 (ethernet) plugs and connect the middle 4 lines. This is extremely useful in case you want to wire up old phone lines and you happen to have ethernet-oriented parts that are plentiful, cheap, and still manufactured.
Totally unrelated: have any fellow weirdos wired up an analog (POTS) phone system in their house, to use for local* calls?
* room to room

Folks, I have amazing news!
I terminated my first proper #RJ45 CAT6 ethernet port! The last time I tried when I was being mentored at a local hardware meetup did not end well
3 ports and one wall keystone. After the first port, I freestyled the other two, 8/8 first try :D
A friend definitely roasted me because I cut a cable too long but hey, we didn't have to call a technician

My RJ45 network cable has some... let us call them challenges.

Gibts einen Weg zu wissen was ist T568 A/B?
(Also abgesehen von „Kabel ist nicht aus den 90ern, wird schon B sein“)

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.

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
