It won't be the fastest Internet cable if the shielding is not attached correctly. The drain wire should not be cut, it should be folded back and tapes over with the copper tape for correct electrical grounding.

The shielding mesh around the conducting cables has to be connected to form a Faraday cage, to protect that cable from electromagnetic interference: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielded_cable Faraday Cage: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

It was nice to see what it looked like. I have some cat6a that looks almost exactly like this. This might have a slightly denser outer woven shield and possibly more twists per Inch. But, after hours and hours and hours of reading and looking up specs and TIA standards I realized after fully shielded twisted pair cat 6a standards don't mean dick. You gotta look up the cable spec real good and see whats inside. Some cable.is over spec and some cheapo under specs.

@danphilpott6302 2 года назад

You stripped away the metal wire shielding that is needed to ground this. Then you applied the conductive metal foil wrap to the outer Cover of the cable. So what is the foil supposed to connect with?! Is is supposed to make an electrical connection between the metal shield wire and the metal housing of the connector. Your instructions preclude this connector from performing the way it should. Why are you doing instructional videos misleading people how to do this? These connectors are very expensive and are designed for very high speed.

@HumanEncoded 2 года назад

As far as I know the wire that I cut only operates as a shielding component. It only shields the inter wires that I connected from outside interference (frequencies). The fold that I wrapped around the end acts in the same way. You do not connected that outer shield to anything. I'm not sure what you are talking about Dan. 🤔

@danphilpott6302 2 года назад

@@HumanEncoded I understand that these components (wires) shield, but they also act as grounding. These connections are supposed to make an electrical ground that is carried through their metal housing to “shielded patch panels”, which are themselves grounded via an electrical wire to the rack. Shielded patch panels for racks are twice the cost of normal patch panels because they are designed for grounding with these metal (and expensive) terminations. The foil that comes with these is special. It’s adhesive is also conducting. It is for electrical connection for grounding. Therefore, the wires just inside the outer cover of the cable need to be wound back on the outside to connect with the foil that connects with the housing.

I will however start to ground my cables from here on out. I will also add another video in the description showing how to ground these cables. Thanks for your input & insight Dan 👍

Wrong. By tearing off the shielding the cable won't be grounded and therefore the shielding is useless

@supaaaafly 6 месяцев назад

This is a gimmick. If the copper cable isn't bigger then the cat6e copper cables then it's the same cable. The shield only protects against Static electricity and or higher frequency Interference.

I'm not sure if it's a gimmick or not but I'm sure within a couple of years more stores will start selling. More than likely they will improve in quality over time as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 👍

@0bsmith0 10 месяцев назад

@@HumanEncoded At the moment there is no future in sight. Cat 6 supports 10 Gbps just fine. There has been a specification for 25 Gbps over Cat 8 with really short runs (100 feet max) that has existed for 8 years and not a single manufacturer has produced hardware. If I saw a realistic future with actual hardware available I wouldn't be against it. At the moment it's like buying snake oil and wasting money.

@Tankbot001 Год назад

Sorry, so many things wrong with this video. 1: "CAT8 is the fastest internet cable on the market" - Does Fiber or even DAC not exist? 2: "CAT8's you don't have to crimp" - With the connectors you're using, you don't, but there are many out there in which you do crimp. 3: Pull the outer shielding down, "What I do is cut that off, some people keep it but I cut mine off" - That metal weived shielding for CAT8 is to ground it, this needs to be folded back and NOT cut. Will be used later. 4: Copper foil, "My guess is it's there as a shield, as well as probably giving it security once we put the male connector on top of it." - This copper foil was there to connect to the ground shielding to the connector which you had previously cut off. You shouldn't be making an instructional video for expensive wiring if you're going to be doing guess work. 5: Bits vs Bytes - Bytes are for Data Storage, Bits are for Data Transfer. There are 8 bits in a byte. 40Gb = 40Gigabit, 40GB = 40Gigabyte. These are NOT to be confused. 40Gb = 5GB. Additionally, to get the full 40Gb speed both devices must support it, at that point though, DAC and Fiber are the better way to go as they use less energy and fiber can go longer distances, not to mention most devices supporting 10Gb+ will be using SFP modules, not RJ45.

Show me some fiber optic & DAC cables on the market you can purchase for home use that I can plug into my router & computer. 🤔 I am well aware of the ground issue after posting this video + I pin the comment about how to ground CAT 8. After figuring that out, I realize what the copper foil was for. 🤷🏾 I do however appreciate you breaking down the bits vs bytes. That was helpful 👍🏽 Thanks for taking the time to watch this video. 👍🏽

@Tankbot001 Год назад

@@HumanEncoded First off, CAT8 is not intended for home use. Secondly, Fiber cables are extremely cheap and the SFP modules are very inexpensive as well. DAC are very inexpensive as well and their prices don’t go too far up for distance. And of course, the video was well layer out, it was merely the few instructions that were off.
