In this episode, we talk about how I decided to retrofit my 129-year-old house with modern networking. I walk you through the difference between a modem, router, and wi-fi access point, why mesh networks like Google WiFi and Eero don't always yield the best results, the benefits to having wired, RJ45 ethernet in your house wherever you possibly can, and I put it throughout my house! I show how to add new cable drops to your home, how to plan cable runs, how to run a centralized server/network center, gear that you may want to consider using, where to put your wifi access points and more! I show you how to terminate an ethernet cable with an RJ45 connector, tips for stripping cable and using a crimper, how to use a punch-down tool to utilize keystone jacks, and how to verify your wiring is correct using a cable tester. Come join the fun!

Great video...However, at the 14:50 mark, Do NOT cut the drywall out until you know where the electric wire is coming from in the plug next to it. Turn off the power and take off the plate to the plugs and try and determine where the power cables are coming from so you do not cut into them and either visit your maker or at the very least visit a hospital...

@rjfontenotiii Год назад

If you must work around live wires, because you are stubborn or something, at least use the one-hand rule. Only expose one hand, not two to the possible live area. The idea is that, if you get electrocuted, the current will travel through only your hand hopefully back to the ground of whatever it came from. If you use two hands, one side touches hot, and the other becomes ground, the current travels through your heart, and you die. Keep in mind that this will not guarantee that you live. It will only increase the odds.

@tyler5580 Год назад

Last words: You don't tell me what to do!!!

@RAndrewNeal Год назад

Depends on how you cut it. If using the multitool, you can cut the drywall without going very far into the wall. If using the knife, you can still take precautions to prevent injury, though might mangle electrical wire and have to replace it if you cut too deep. I think the best option is to drill a couple pilot holes; one for you to look through, and the other to shine a light through. This way, you can actually see if there is a wire in the way and know how to work around it, as it's not feasible to be able to determine which direction a run is coming from looking at the inside of the electrical box.

@mcgurtytv1868 6 месяцев назад

he used a stud finder to find the studs first. The outlet is usually mounted on the stud with the wire stapled to the same stud. Also to make you feel better, Most of the time that wire will be ran min 6in above the outlet when it passes stud to stud.

@Blubb5000 3 года назад

@@MrCapsMan The entire process to retrofit an old house is actually pretty simple. I did this with the house I bought and I do this amongst other things as my job in the business world, where the requirements are much more demanding. I actually made training videos for our employees. No, I won't post the videos... these are for our company only. The vast amount of people don't need gigabit ethernet in every room. One connection for the main computer and one for the "wife", directly attached to the router that you get from your ISP, is enough for 95% of all people. Place an access point in the middle of the house and you're good. I have a 3 story (wood) house and I've strategically placed a single Apple Airport Extreme dead center in the physical middle of the house (hallway). My 2 kids, me and my wife have worry free WiFi throughout the house. Browsing, video calling, downloading gigs of stuff works perfectly fine. I also have currently overall 71 light bulbs from Wiz (Philips), which connect via WiFi bulbs to the entire network and I can control them through an app, from my computer and remote controls, which I installed instead of regular light switches. My network is pretty busy and there is no problem at all. Snazzy is completely overdoing his effort in his new (old) house. This is understandable, because he has to make a lining and such sponsors, who pay for the entire thing, help him being independent.

@medivalone 3 года назад

It's actually pretty important to use Keystones instead of just continuing the cable out of the wall. For one, most in-wall rated cables are solid core, which means each wire is made out of solid copper. These have better distance performance and longer life, but are stiffer and can work harden and break if bent around a lot. Patch cables typically use stranded core, kind of like speaker wire, made up of a lot of small strands of copper per wire. Also, if you break a wire coming out of a wall, you could end up needing to replace it if say it needs to reach 4ft into the room and you broke it at 2 ft. Whereas with a keystone you can just replace the patch cable and all your wires in the wall are safe.

@myrealusername2193 2 года назад

I know this is an old comment, but there’s one thing that I would say justifies just having a cable sticking out of the wall: *_plaster walls_*. It’s _so_ annoying to cut through or even drill through that I would say just having the wire sticking out is fine.

@JoeBlow-ub1us Год назад

@@myrealusername2193 Yes but as the guy said especially with solid copper wire, which is what pretty much everybody that has ethernet cable running through their house has, just simply running the cable directly from the wall to the device is quite risky as it becomes weak very quickly and breaks when bent and moved around even a handful of times. and if it does you're kinda fucked because you have to remove that cable completely and replace it if it's not long enough to reach your device. its really not much more time and money to go the extra mile and do it correctly.

@simduino Год назад

A few comments on this to explain some things better: pin 1 is green/white pin 2 is green pin 3 is orange/white pin 4 is blue pin 5 is blue/white pin 6 is orange pin 7 is brown/white pin 8 is brown This is the T568A or as you said type A config. The T568B or type B has the following layout pin 1 is orange/white pin 2 is orange pin 3 is green/white pin 4 is blue pin 5 is blue/white pin 6 is green pin 7 is brown/white pin 8 is brown The difference is pin 1 and 2 are switched to pin 3 and 6. This is because it was used to make a cross cable, type A on one end, type B on the other end. Why? Because this is how the pins are used: pin 1 is TX+ pin 2 is TX- pin 3 is RX+ pin 6 is RX- Today most ethernet equipment is MDIX which means it automatically senses these pairs for transmission or reception, so it doesn't matter whether you use type A or B. On older equipment is does make the difference to connect or not. So what about pin 4 and 5? These are used for telephone lines. No need to wire your house with extra telephone lines, you could just use this pair for that. In fact you can actually click a RJ11 telephone plug into the RJ45 socket and make it work. Pin 7 and 8 for POE, power over ethernet, today mainly used for IP cameras. It eleminates the use of extra power cables. Since these two pairs (4,5 and 7,8) are generally not used, in some rare case they could be used to have a second ethernet connection over the same cable. Not advisable but it is possible. I've use this when I needed to connect my doorbell and ip cam located at the gate away from my house. The tube that lead to the gate only permitted one cable, so this was the solution.

@Moerchandise Год назад

Would the method you mentioned to send two connections on one cable require you to terminate pins 1,2,3,6 on one RJ45 connector and use the remaining four cables to mimic "1,2,3,6" on a second connector on both ends of the cable? Or is it somehow possible to just make two terminations one one end for two devices and somehow configure a switch to send a signal to a customizable set of pairs in the ethernet cableing? Or am I just overcomplicating things in my head lol

@simduino Год назад

@@Moerchandise Your first assumption is right. One RJ45 has pins 1,2,3,6 as normal, while the second RJ45 has pin 1 on the blue wire, pin 2 on the blue/white wire, pin 3 on the brown/white wire and pin 6 on the brown wire. On the other end of the cable it's exactly the same.

@ketas Год назад

if there is power at gate, one could use switch there. if not, you can actually get poe powered passthrough switch. or hack your own. if you look harder, you find managed 5p switches too. overkill or not, having 2 eth devices there already is anyway. and i actually do use single cat5 two 100m at here a lot because i'm a cheap one. my current managed switch is 100m anyway and i like it managed. besides, you might not need the bw

@simduino Год назад

@@ketas yes a switch could be an option, but, in this case there was no room at the gate and from a security pov it's not a very good idea. I actually hacked the video doorbell and added a small OLED display with an arduino nano integrated into the doorbell case. I barely had room to make all the connections. And I also went cheap and fast, I'll admit that. :)

A year late, but a note about the rip-string inside the cable (19:00) - You actually WANT to use this to rip the jacket down below where you did the initial stripping to, because even with the fancy stripping tool you showed it is still very easy to nick a single wire to the point where you break the wire or at least weaken it so it breaks at some point in the future. They don't just include this rip-string because they can, the include it because it's practically necessary.

@ghanus2009 Год назад

This is a good point, especially if youre going by th echeap and use a knife sizzors etc. or even lesser expensive stripers (who doesn't like cheap strippers anyway?) However when doing data centers, or larger networking the tools are designed to be exact so that precide cable lengths are cut for wire dressing.

Very interesting video! I've done something similar in my parents house, which was clearly not designed for networking. It was actually a lot harder because European (or the ones in Greece at least) are made completely out of bricks and cement. No dry walls or plaster anywhere, to easily pass cables! So your best bet in passing through cables is ONLY by reusing pre-existing routes that were meant for other things (like tv, POTS etc.). But with a lot of planning and some compromises, you can actually make it!

@James_Knott Год назад

Just don't terminate one end using 568A and the other using 568B, because you'll cross over the orange and green pairs. (and your tester device will rightfully complain!) Doing this intentionally means you've made a crossover cable, which is normally used to directly connect two computers two each other without a switch in between.

@snazzy 3 года назад

Making up your own pinout defeats the whole point of running Cat6.

White-Orange, Orange, White-Green, Blue, White-Blue, Green, White-Brown, Brown.

@@needfuldoer4531 well the same is true for using unshielded rj45 connectors for Cat7/Cat6a though it is done a lot and for the most part is fine.

Also, pro tip on separating your twisted pairs: use a very small, like precision screwdriver size flat head, stick it in between a twisted pair at the base of them where you cut the sheathing back to (an awl works for this, but you can hurt yourself or pierce the wire if you slip up), pull up all the way through, your twisted wires are now perfectly straight except at the tip, cut that off, and now your previously twisted individual wires are as straight as can be.

Having done a fraction of what is shown in the video, one thing I would suggest (which is kind of a no-brainer), is there are newer Unify APs available. I went with the U6 Long-Range. The single AP on the ground floor gives acceptable coverage for me even on the third floor. Probably Quinn could get away with fewer APs if he did it again! I would +1 the message in the video. Take the leap. It is not terribly difficult, or even terribly expensive for most home improvement projects, just time consuming. Take your time, measure twice to get the holes in the right place, and start small. Do one run, see how it goes, and keep chipping at it until you've executed your dream plan! One thing I already know I would have done differently, is I should have considered buying the right-size auger bit by doing a little planning and calculating the diameter of wire to run through each chase. My only option is in-wall runs, and it's pretty damn difficult to get the string through the hole the first time, so I would minimize the number of holes! And make sure to get your new box on the same height as any existing boxes in the room. I mis-measured, and my new Ethernet is a solid half inch above the nearby outlet. It looks pretty amateurish!

About Ethernet categories: my house was fully wired with CAT5e. I needed 10Gb speeds so I was ready to re-wire the whole thing with CAT6. Although, after extensive tests I discovered that CAT5e can carry 10Gb speeds just fine within the distances of a normal sized house. So, if you have CAT5e installed, give it a try before replacing it with CAT6, it may just work.

@kusucks991 3 года назад

Nice! I've heard this before, but I wonder, how do you get your equipment to play along with that? If you plug a short enough CAT5e cable into two 10gbps ports on either end, is that enough?

@thepresi2 3 года назад

@@kusucks991 The main difference between Cat 6 and Cat 5 is the bandwidth. Cat 6 cables are made with materials, shiledings and overall quality to sustain higher amount of data. That being said CAT 6 and CAT 5 provide the same exact connection on both ends. So, within short distances, they are interchangeable. If you plug in a CAT 5 cable between two 10Gb devices, they will attempt a 10Gb connection regardless of the cable quality. If the cable can’t keep up, you will see loss of packets and errors. In my case the “short distance” was at least 50 feet! My office is downstairs, the server is upstairs. During my tests I pulled a flying temp CAT 6 cable through the stairs and compared that connection with the CAT5e in the wall. No difference. I assumed they used good quality CAT5e cables when they built my house! Long story short, if you have CAT 5 cables handy, I think it is worth it to test them before buying CAT 6, but if you need to install a 10Gb from scratch, absolutely get the best cable you can afford.

I’ve cut through a lot of plaster and lathe in my 100 old house too. Air return ducting, holes to blow dense pack wall insulation, and of course Ethernet. The key is biting the bullet and getting diamond blades for the plaster (actually CEMENT most of the time, sometimes with wire mesh to boot!) and carbide blades for the wood. I do this with both holesaws (up to about a 4 inch hole) and multitools (rectangular and larger holes). Cut through the first layer of the P&L with the appropriate blade and then switch upon hitting the next layer. Diamond is too slow for wood (no teeth) and carbide gets dulled quickly by cement and wire. Tempered steel? Usually one hole wonders.

@Biaxident0 Год назад

Network engineer here with a strong background in designing structured cabling plants in large enterprises. Keystone vs crimping on an RJ45 end... there is a right away. The cable you ran is a solid conductor cable, it is not meant to be moved, unplugged, etc. It is very inflexible, and very prone to breakage and kinks if it is repeatedly moved. Spend the 15 dollars and key a punchdown tool and terminate the cables onto a keystone, leaving a little bit of cable inside the wall in case you need to make future repairs and replace the keystone (which in this use case, would be unlikely). Patch cables are cheap, made with stranded copper so they are able to withstand some flexing, and they are much easier to replace if they do get damaged. Also, make sure you follow the color code standards, not just match the color up on each end. While matching the colors up on each end will /technically/ work, the color code exists to have the cables terminated in a precise way so the twisting of the cable will cancel out interference. If you terminate them with no regards to the eia/tia standards, you will have a hard time passing 10gig traffic on them at any length more than a few feet.

So after the following summer all the relatives said you buying this farm was the best therapy you could purchase. Dad looked better and felt better. Hard work is the best thing for recovery. In 1976 early 1977 we sold the farm. We had 2 other properties we had to sell before moving to Florida. Kinda hard going from a 50 acre farm to just a house and quarter acre. Dad always found something to do. My oldest sister and her lake front property kept him busy. 73

@matthewlewis5631 3 года назад

The color sequence when terminating a cable does matter - the pairs are matched to help cancel out cross talk, especially at higher speeds. Under short runs this doesn’t really matter, but the longer your run the more likely you are to have high losses or not even get a link if you choose your own order. Given its color coded on the keystones and tools you might as well use one of the TIA standards - lots of smart people argued for weeks to come up with them 🤣

@MateusRochadeMedeiros 3 года назад

Drove me nuts when he said that.... There's also different rate of twist. I cannot count the number of problematic LAN paths I have troubleshot that just turned out to be using wrong pairs. This matters more the higher run distance. Also, I I were going through all of this work, I'd run 6a. It much more future proof. Last, use plenum or riser grade cabling.

Great vid! One thing I think is pretty important that you didn’t go over much is the “pull line” or cut line. It’s pretty important to use, because if you are using scissors or the built in stripper on crimpers, a lot of times it will cut through the jacket and it doesn’t take much to get into the cable pairs making them snap easily. Using the cut string will eliminate the risk of having to go pin point an issue and give better durability.

@gdn86 2 года назад

Solid explanation of the punch down method. I went with the male-female keystones instead so I got best of both on the end runs of each loose camera cable. All cable runs were for new construction so the in-wall used the punch down keystones, which I had to repair 2-3 of them. (The cut through a few of the wires when stripping) I was not happy when I tested all the cabling, but when we moved in, there is no time to call the electricians out to fix a minor issue. Luckily it was all CAT6 runs we paid for an received. I have an open run directly below my office into the basement for Verizon or Google if I can ever upgrade from Comcast. I thought about the Ubiquity system, but I already had purchased a few modern Asus mesh routers prior to moving, so decided to go full expansion into that ecosystem, which has been fantastic for a home network. I had to turn down the transmit power the first week since my network was reaching 3 blocks away in a new construction zone.

After that the damaged wall needs to be closed again with fresh plaster, primed (not sure if that's the right translation. We use "Tiefengrund") and the segment of the wallpaper gets replaced.

@@aaronjohnson2547 👍 yea. That’s exactly my point.

@@maxroman2010 oh I know that's why I commented. Ethernet should be standard in all new homes but even in 2020 it's just not. They all expect you to use wireless and look at you like a deer caught in headlights when you say I don't want to use wireless.

Only thing id add is making sure your drill settings are set to drill mode and no hammer. Thanks man! this tool was way easier than drilling from the crawlspace and guessing.
