We review a classic problem: How to terminate Cat5 cable at a keystone jack. Our speaker, Daniel, takes the viewer through all of the steps and techniques that should be used to complete this tedious, yet important, task. Daniel had no experience with Cat5e cable coming into production of the video, but you can see that with a little practice, even a novice can install Ethernet correctly. What else can I say that the video cant say for itself?

Wiring Ethernet is usually a pain for most people. Those who can’t afford to pay for precut and wired cables, or who don’t know what kind of lengths they will need are reduced to spending great amounts of time fitting their own Ethernet plugs, terminating cables, and installing them. Nowadays we are all lucky enough to have a much better standard of Ethernet tools at our disposal, and that makes the job a lot easier.

Platinum Tools is one company who has been manufacturing these types of tools at great prices for years. Recently, they posted a great slide-show detailing the process of making your own Ethernet cable. To see it, visit platinumtools.com .  They have other guides and tips posted in their support section, but the slideshow draws particular interest.

All of Platinum Tools products from the slide-show can be purchased at FireFold.com at reduced price. This includes the EZ RJ-45 Crimping Tool, the RJ45 plugs, and even the bulk cable itself.
