Help Punching CAT5E

[Hyper]

Hi All,

I am in the middle of rewiring my house and have ran network cables to each room and plan on terminating them into a patch panel in the loft.

I have bought faceplates and RJ45 modules for each room and a 8 port patch panel for the loft, I am about to punch the cables into the modules and patch panel but I am bit confused as to what order they go in.

I have taken pictures of each item, could anyone help me make some sense of them before I make a start;

Instructions that came with modules,

Back of patch panel,

Back of modules,

Sorry if I sound like a complete novice but this is my first time doing this,

Any advice would be great,

Thanks, Sam

Thanks for that,

This might sound stupid but from the picture of the jack do you work down or across for 1 to 8,

For Example;
1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8

Or;
1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8

Or am i totally getting mixed up?

Thanks again, Sam

I have purchased one of those cheap cable testers that split in half so you can test at each end of the cable.

 

[Hyper]

Don't they all have numbers printed on them?

No, thats where the confusion sets in

 

[Hyper]

They're clearly numbered in your pictures.

The patch panel is numbered, thats not the problem, its the modules.

 

[Hyper]

Thanks for that mrbell,

I think it was just the A and B configuration that was confusing me a bit

 

[Hyper]

Any idea what the bit of plastic sticking out the top of the keystone module (to the right on the picture) is for before I snap it off

Thanks, Sam

Ahh okay,

Sorry to be a pain, mrbell, the second picture you posted of the back of the patch panel doesnt match up with what you posted earlier,

Pin 1 - Orange, White
Pin 2 - Orange
Pin 3 - Green, White
Pin 4 - Blue
Pin 5 - Blue, White
Pin 6 - Green
Pin 7 - Brown, White
Pin 8 - Brown

The top three dont look correct,

No doubt I am wrong

 

[Hyper]

Thanks a lot!

Will save them on my phone so I cant go wrong (hopefully) this weekend

 

[Hyper]

But then what would happen when I plugged premade cat5e cables to connect my devices into the rj45 sockets on the walls?

Would the wrong order of cables not mess things up?

 

[Hyper]

Ahh i've got you,

I will keep them the way you posted though as thats the standard configuration right?

Just a quick update for anyone that cares,

My house renovation is pretty much finished now,

Connected up two network keystone jacks tonight into a wall faceplate and tested them through to the switch in the loft with a cable tester. I have 8 lights on the tester so happy days.

Just need to get them in every other room connected up now then my full house is networked

Totally lost with that above comment, call me a novice
