Terminate CAT6 Home Runs With Male RJ45 Or Female Keystone Jack?
Jul 8, 2013
I'm going to be running CAT6 throughout my house (once I figure out all the paths and buy the cable) with the home runs going to a patch panel in the basement.
I've been wondering if I should terminate each cable with a male RJ45 end and use a patch panel with RJ45 female-female keystone couplers or; terminate each cable with a female RJ45 keystone jack and snap it into a keystone patch panel.
I'm just wondering if there are any pros and cons to each, each method seems to be exactly the same, just buying different pieces.

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.

I want to wire the house for Cat6, the current home we live in I had ATT Uverse installed (but I hated it and now with the bandwidth caps I would pass regardless) and they installed Cat5e. I love having a hardwired internet connection in each room so the new place needs to have this done.
-Professional Networking Tool Kit (I was going to buy the stripper/crimper/punch tool but I thought the testing tool would be nice to have)
-1000ft Bulk Solid Cat6 cable 24AWG
-Cat6 Punch down Keystone Jack
Then just zip ties for cable management, cat6 solid plugs + inserts, two hole wall plates and black relief boots. I already have a Netgear GS108 that I'll be bringing with me, if that ends up not being big enough I will just buy a bigger one in the future. I'm planning on running two cables to each room of the house for a total of 12 cables (not all of them will be hooked up, I plan to make sure to label each one at the central location where I'll be keeping the cable modem and switch. Each bedroom will only currently use one port with the spare bedroom not using any but when I'm running cables I'm going to run them all for future proofing our new home. I was thinking of putting the wireless router I have in the living room as if any place will need more than two ports it will be the living room (Receivers, TVs, Bluray players, DirecTV boxes will all end up using RJ45 as I upgrade them).

I just bought and received a Cat6 200ft Ethernet cable from Amazon, linkIt is going from a router to my PC and is not working. My old Ethernet cable works just fine from said router to PC. I do not know why this one is not working. I tested the cable out on my laptop and it works fine for that. I am not sure what info to post about my PC, but I am using an Asrock z68 Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard as my lan connector.

Obviously you do not want your cat6 lines running too close to your power lines especially when in parallel. The question though is how close can it be without causing interference?In my situation the wall I want to connect my main router to has a power outlet in the middle of it which honestly is where I would have preferred my network ports. Will I be OK if I run my cat6 in the wall channel directly next to the channel that contains the power line? It would be a standard U.S. interior wall residential power line. I should be able to get from 12 to 24 inches of distance between my cat6 and power line while still keeping my network outlet in a semi-central location.

I have a Dlink DIR-655 router for my wired and wireless router for my home network. I have a 100ft cat6 ethernet cable. I pulled it from the router to my home server in my basement.
Does the 100ft cable make a difference or does the fact that it's a cat6 cable make a difference?
When moving similar files at work, it's faster. So I'm trying to find out what's the bottleneck at home. What speeds should I expect for a home network?

I converted my old telephone wiring (Cat5e wire) to Ethernet by adding keystone jacks and then tied all the rooms together. I test every room for continuity with a LAN tester and everything showed up OK. I then plug my Ethernet in one of the keystone jack and check for internet in every room with my laptop received no connection. I connect the same cable to my laptop and everything works fine

I have purchased a new home where cat5e was run from several locations throughout the house to the basement. Unfortunately, the runs were not marked. I know you can short one end of each cable and measure (voltage resistance?) at the other end in the basement to identify it. I need the process and equipment required so I can wire my home. The cables are not terminated.

Is it possible to buy an adapter that, when plugged into the cable jack. will give me internet? My wireless network is painfully slow since it's based in the basement yet I work in the attic. (DL speeds tap out at around 250kbps)I dont have an ethernet only the cable jack.

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:

All wires terminate in the basement as a RJ-45 plug, to be plugged into a switch housed in an old circuit breaker box. The first wire went off without a hitch, the jack works, the plug works, all is right with the world. The router for the home is currently plugged into that outlet so as to give the entire network as we build it internet. The second outlet is giving us problems though. I've fished the wire up the wall as before, and the length of wire is shorter than the first run. When I terminate the end upstairs as a jack, then plug in my laptop, it refuses to connect. It says the network cable is unplugged. If I terminate the cable as a plug, then plug it directly into the laptop, suddenly everything works. I have tried so far 3 different jacks, tested continuity on the jacks, and tested continuity on the wire to the jack pins to make sure the terminal block was working and everything came back green

I setup sharePort today and attached an external 1 TB hard drive. Seems that All my internet connections are slow now. I have a seperate PC that I use VPN to connect to work with and suddenly its very slow. My wife said her laptop suddenly slowed down too. The PC that I installed SharePort software seems slow too. Is/can SharePort be dragging down the router? I turned off the external HD and it's still slow.

ASA has 3 interfaces: outside, inside, DMZ Average total throughput is between 20-200mbps. Majority of throughput would be between inside and DMZ interfaces. CPU never goes above 70% (and doesn't seem to spike much with respect to traffic patterns).We are seeing lots of errors on the interface. Inside output:
Interface GigabitEthernet0/1 "Inside", is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is i82546GB rev03, BW 1000 Mbps, DLY 10 usec
Auto-Duplex(Full-duplex), Auto-Speed(1000 Mbps)
Input flow control is unsupported, output flow control is unsupported
[code]....
The ASA is a VPN headend for 3 remote branches. Approximately 100 VOIP phones between the sites register to a phone server at the main site (where 5520 is).I'm baffled by these overruns and underruns.
Code version 8.2(2).I refuse to believe that I need to upgrade the firewall when a 5520 can supposedly process 450mbps (aware this is best case but our average is close to 80-100mbps) and should do 300,000 bps wheras on average we are pushing 10-15,000.Is there anything we can do to find out why the ASA is having such a hard time processing all of the packets we are sending it?

I have had this wireless router for 3.5-4 months, and it has been working fine up until now.It either runs VERY slow and losses connection often or will not connect at all. I could be sitting beside the router or across the room with the same results. i have even tried connecting a cord from the laptop to the router, but it makes no difference. If it makes any difference we have a PS3 that is connected via wire to the modem and it works just fine, never loses connection. We have used both at the same time since we got it and it was fine up until a few weeks ago.I have tried reseting it and unplugging everything and rebooting the computer and that had no effect. I also tried reinstalling the router on the computer using the setup disk and resetting everything but that did not do anything either. I have an Acer Aspire laptop MTS ~ DSL Modem?

My brand new E3000 runs very hot compared to other (e.g. Netgear WRT624 Super G) that I have had. It get so hot that the hard surface it is on, and the underside of the unit itself, is almost too hot to hold. Is this typical for the E3000 and also other E-series? Won't this characteristic lead to early electronics failure?

ISRG2 (c2951-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M1.bin) has 512 MB of DRAM. Periodically it runs out of memory: [code]
1. Why "show process mean" command shows less memory than 512 MB? Processor Pool (248 MB) + I/O Pool (58 MB) ~ 310 MB only?
2. *Init* process holds more memory than normal (202 MB). What may cause this?

I have a network closet where all the ethernet ports in each room of the house is routed to so wired routing performance must be good.I also need a good wifi network since we have multiple laptops and tablets we use around the home. I do have 2.4GHz and 5GHz devices so I need the dual, simultaneous wifi operation.The gear I can choose from to do this:
Asus RT-N56U
OR
Cisco RVS4000 + Netgear WNDAP360
The home is a 2-story unit and the networking closet is upstairs near the front of the house. If I go with the Asus RT-N56U, the wifi network will be centered in the network closet. If I go with the Cisco RVS4000 + Netgear WNDAP360, the Cisco router will be in the network closet and the Netgear WNDAP360 will be connected to an ethernet jack closer to the center of the house.

We have an ASA 5510 running 8.3 that we need to use to terminate a LAN to LAN IPSEC VPN.
Problem is we only have one public address available so have had to configure the link between the ASA and the Internet Router on private addresses.
Is it possible to NAT the public address to the inside or outside interface of the ASA and terminate the VPN on that interface?

Cisco 2811 runs ITP IOS. On that router we run the SMPP service. A client on the network connects to this service, and we need to capture the traffic for debug.
I've tried traffic-export, but I cannot see any outbound traffic. Is there any way to capture the outbound traffic?

I would like to be able to modernize these outlets with a new RJ11 jack for telephone and replace the electric outlets with fresh ones. Problem is, no one can lead me to where I can find new wall plates for this combo setup style. Someone has told me this is out of code for many years now and there is no clear cut path to modernizing it besides just moving the telco jack/box out of the electric gang box and into its own separate box to the side.
Upgrading such "messes" to standard modular RJ11 plugs, and finding wallplates for it?
