Running Cat6 UTP In Same Wall Cavity
Mar 8, 2013
I have done similar with cat5e in the past, but only operating at 100mb/s. The gigabit stuff I have done so far has had the power in a separate stud cavity.My structured wiring project will be installed in one stud cavity in the soon to be new home office. Not exactly using a structured wiring cabinet, but rather using a 7u wall mount relay rack bracket. The cabling will be entering using 2 separate header penetrations. One existing just inside on the right side of the stud cavity carries 110V 12/2 romex to a stud attached box / recepticle. The other side gets the new penetration, a minimum of 12" away. That's the one that the ethernet cable will pass through. The cable runs will run through the wall and through a brush plate, and then to the patch panel.
The Cat6 cable is UTP, and is marked for in wall use. This is the stuff with the spline if that matters.The romex, by code MUST be attached to the stud, and it is, the cat6 on the other hand is allowed to be loose in the wall. I do not plan on having enough slack in the wall for the cat6 to ever get closer than 8" from the romex, and no closer than 10" from the electrical box.Is that separation sufficient to avoid inductive noise on the ethernet cables? Like I said, I have done similar with Cat5e and no problems ever, but only attached to 10/100 networks. I can change stud cavities, but would rather stick with the one so that my ethernet, and power both can enter the rack cleanly.

I have 30 switched in my corporate network it’s all up and running all switches running by default configuration and connected to WS-C4506 core switch our dhcp server pooling 192.168.100.1/27 network. Now we need to configure new Vlan for finance department this department has more than 200 users. If my server distributes 192.168.200.0 range ip can vlan2 automatically assign ip 200.0 addresses to finance department.All switches running default config no ip address assigned.

I need to replace an existing ASA 5540 with a new ASA 5525X. I would like to pre-stage and configure the new box with the existing config, migrate license and export certificate files before swapping it with the old one during a change window. The new firewall will run 9.1 on deployment. Now the same 7.2(4) cannot just be copied over to 5525X running the minimum 8.6 version. There is a Web based tool available at [URL] according to Cisco documentation but the page does not load for me (Cisco intranet only tool ?). Is there another tool for automatic conversion ?

I have CAT5 cables run throughout my house to a few different jacks. They plug into my modem downstairs. I want to hook up my desktop internet through one of the wall jacks upstairs. The wall jack has CAT5 cable run to it but only accepts telephone wire sized jacks. How do I connect to the internet with this setup?

I'm wiring the house with CAT6 solid cable. Can I use CAT5e wall sockets?
Are there actually any differences between CAT5e rated sockets and CAT6 rated sockets, aside from the latter being vastly overpriced?

I'm thinking of making a security system for my house (and possibly selling and setting up for others) based off usb 1080p webcams. I read online the max length of a usb cable is 5m before you need a hub to act like a repeater. Could I simply buy a cat6 (or 7) cable, splice the usb into it, and then unsplice at the computer as a workaround?

the internet is so poor I usually lose the signal, since it has to go through walls and a bunch of trees. My question is can I use the phone jacks in the wall to set up a second router or something to increase it. Or what is the best way to increase the power and strength. What do I need and how do I do it. My fathers router is under verizon vios. I plan on getting and xbox 360 with live capability and need good internet for that

I have a side gig that I do some work for and they've had a Sonicwall TZ200 device in their branch office and also in their data center that has a site to site VPN connection between the two devices. About a month ago the bandwidth throughput got severly decreased. They went from getting about 28Mbps/27Mbps to now ~3Mbps/12Mbps.
I've spent days troubleshooting with Sonicwall which could be a whole dedicated thread on it's own but I digress. I even had the ISP come out and test the line and when they hooked up their own laptop it got the speeds it should be getting. I've rebuilt the config on the sonicwall from scratch which was a major pain in the ass because I'm not a firewall guy by any means. After firmware updates and pulling my hair out I've decided to dump the tz200, to what I don't know. I need two devices, one for the data center and one for the branch office. I'm pretty sure something in the config is causing this and after being escalated to the highest level at sonicwall and them sending me a replacement unit which I rebuilt the config on and also tried to import the old settings with no luck. I very well could have done something or made a change to cause this but I'm at a loss and willing to try another product.
I get spammed from Barracuda all the time, do they have quality devices? Something with a web interface would be great since I'm not a firewall guru by any means and had set up a bunch of address objects with NATs and all that.

I'm wiring up the house with CAT6 (I've never done this before). Someone told me to use 'T568B' termination. Every configuration I see on net looks different, and I'm getting confused.
The jacks have double colour coding for each wire as pictured here:I take it 'A' is for T568A, and 'B' is for T568B?So this is how I should arrange the wires for T568B:

Our house has a cat5 line that runs from downstairs, around the outside of the house to an upstairs office. We are consolidating all the outlets that are randomly spread around the walls. The cat5 cable is about 6 inches too short to reach the new box so we figured we might as well run a new cat6 line. (I think we can make the run 20 feet shorter so that's a bonus.)The cat5 line has 2 jacks wired in series at either end. Everything I've read says cat6 is much more touchy and you should only expose the minimal amount of wire from the sheathing and don't untwist the pairs more than necessary. Can I put two jacks on each end of the cat6?

Whenever it comes time to terminate Cat6 lines into an RJ-45 connector, there is an expected way of lining up the colors in each end. This differs somewhat between Cat5 and Cat6 but the principle remains the same: there is a standard order in which to feed the wires into the connector.
My question is, why is this order used? Is there a specific reason why it is done this way? The way I see it, since all 8 wires inside the cable are the same, it shouldn't matter which order you use, as long as it is the same on both ends...

WE've been using the Asoka pluglink adapters we received from at&t and they worked very well to where we can move them anywhere in the house. Now they've just stopped working all together. We didn't change anything to where they stopped working. But the weirdest part: they just started working again yesterday and now are not. I did not influence any of these changes and I'm not sure where the problem is. I've tried swapping out the adapters cause we have three and we only use two at a time. Our current setup is a linksys wrt54g with ddwrt which is what we plug one of the adapters to and the other is in my room cause we are out of range for wireless. When testing the network it says we join an unidentified network but have no internet access.

I haven't worked with Cisco devices before (yepp, another one of those) but I am getting there. I have replaced my silly Draytek router now with a Cisco877 and it works perfectly fine. But the whole networking side of things such as NAT / ROUTE / ACLs is a BIT black magic.
Basically my problem is that I cannot get proper traffic through the tunnel
From any station behind the Cisco (Site2) I can ping the local IP of the Sonic, but none of the other stations. From behind the Sonic I can ping any station behind the Cisco but unable to connect on any port (RDP for example)
Bear in mind that a lot of settings are from forums, google and the sorts because as I mentioned, before I got this one I have limited experience with Cisco .. Everything configured is working fine, the internet connection, the incoming pptp VPN to the Cisco etc., just not the IPSec VPN.

Wiring my house for Cat6 very soon. I already have most of the architecture decided on (except the decision of whether or not to use a patch panel, but that's another story). However, the office layout is giving me problems.
See, I plan to rent out my house some years down the road, as work will inevitably force me to relocate sooner or later. I know that *I* would want the ethernet ports on the North side of the office, but I can conceivably see somebody else needing them on the South side of the office. Cords running across the room are a pet peeve of mine, so that's out.
Instead of placing the jacks on just one side of the room, I'd prefer to put a jack on BOTH sides of the room, for each line. Like how you used to find two RJ11 phone jacks on the same landline. (note: only one pair of jacks would be used at a time). Is this easily possible with Cat6?

Am running Cat6 cable to my cellar. I plan to run a face plate in the walls of all rooms where there will be an ethernet connection. Originally when I did this in a previous house I wired two rooms together i.e. a face plate in one room and the other end a face plate. I did a cross over cable for this so when connecting anything at the other end it would talk to the device in the other room i.e. room A NAS straight through to face plate, room B PS3 straight through to face plate for example.However as I will be connecting multiple rooms together in to a patch panel then switch / router how will this then work? For all rooms where there is face plate do I crossover all cable to the patch panel or straight through? If straight through to the patch are my patch leads then cross overs to the switch?

Have a Sonicwall with multiple VLANS on LAN interface going to the SG-300 in Layer 3 mode.Trunk Port has VLAN 1 untagged and PVID and other VLANS (20,30,40) tagged.Setting a port to Access for particular VLAN (40) does not pull DHCP from Sonicwall.Sonicwall support says DHCP request is coming from VLAN1 and something wrong in switch setup.Setting 2 ports to VLAN 40 allows communication between the two.Also, replacing SG300 with a Netgear L2 works.Seems like an issue with the trunk, no?

There are 2 locations to choose from. One location requires me to run longer CAT6 cables. 7 of them. The other location requires me to run a longer RG6 cable. (the CAT6 runs would then be about the shortest they could get)So, I guess I need to know which can handle running parallel with power cables better, 25feet of RG6 or CAT6?The parallel with power cable is only for about 6-8 feet, but that's already more than it should be for CAT6.

Installed brand new CAT6 cable from my office PC (W7) to my HTPC (W7) to stream movies (150 feet) and I cannot get file transfer speeds higher than 1MBps. I get the sames slow speeds whether I use the router or plug the two PCs together.

Just about to run about 30 metres of Ethernet cable underground from one building to another. I know there's quite a few forums like this which suggest to go for cat5 mostly for the price, not sure when these were advised but cat6 doesn't seem to be too much more now...
So just wondering if it will be worth going for cat6 for a future reference if you will, ideally if products ever advance to support it. Just that I don't fancy digging up the cable in a year or so.
Of course I'd rather go for cat5e but wouldn't mind adding a bit to the budget if it's worth it?
Also does anyone know if it's any more difficult to fit the connecters to cat6e? Are they just the same as rj45?

We install cat6 at university. some of the length exceed 100m. Fluke test show FAIL result. does it really matter for the usage in learning and researching? or does it affecting the quality of IP phone?

I have about 50m between switches. When using Cat6 I could not get a connecting between switches but when I use Cat 5E I get a connection. The switches are D-Link DGS-1210-10P switches. Why do the Cat6 which is suppose to be superior to Cat 5 not getting a connection.
