Learn To Install Cat6 Cable In Your Home

When you are installing Ethernet in your home, you want to make sure you are following all of the regulation so that your installation is up to code. You can buy most of your tools at any big box hardware or electronics store. You will need wire fish-tape, strong wire or string, Ethernet jacks with 110 punchdown block and RJ-45 connectors, outlet covers, a 110 punchdown tool, an Ethernet switch, a crimping tool, a measuring tape, and a drill. To buy the Belden Cat6 Cable, you can order directly from the manufacturer's website or find a list of distributors online.

If you already have a Cat5/Cat5e system in your home, integrating Belden Cat6 Cable will be no problem because it's backwards compatible with these cable standards. However, if no Ethernet switch is present, you must find a place to put it in your home with easy access and walls without drywall. In most homes, this place is the attic or basement.  

 

Once you have positioned your switch, you can cut the first jack hole. Measure from a reference point to the hole so that you will easily be able to transfer the measurement to the attic where you will connect to the switch. Once your hole is cut, run the fish-tape from the attic hole to the hole in the wall. Once your helper can see the fish-tape, he can tie a string to it and you can pull it slowly back up through the wall. Once the string is in the attic, attach it to the Belden Cat6 Cable. Pull this back down through the wall. After you have pulled the amount of cable you need, plus 12 inches of slack, you can punch down the cable on the jack and mount it in the wall. Terminate the attic-end of the Cat6 cable with a RJ-45 connector and plug it into your switch.

 

You can repeat this process for each new jack that you want to install. Remember, Cat6 cable is only allowed to be run a maximum of 100 meters. If you are mixing Cat6 cable with Cat5/Cat5e cable, your performance will only be as good as the lowest category of cable in your system. For better performance, you should consider upgrading all of your cabling to Belden Cat6 Cable. Connect your cable modem to your network switch. All of your jacks are now connected to the network.

With the creation of USB users have the freedom to operate peripheral devices like keyboards, MP3 players, digital cameras and hard disk drives as if they were locally connected. The growing need for and wide spread use of USB devices meant signals now have to be extended over longer distances.
