    Solved Buying used patch panel for home use?

    There are 24 port patch panels but from what I can tell it is for enterprise customers only, the one I found is from a used server rack from a company that just replaced it. Most of the time cheap patch panel and even server rack are available directly from China, I found someone selling 6U...

    Solved Buying used patch panel for home use?

    So I came to a dilemma of buying used and new.

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    I absolutely agree, what I am even suprised more by is that they defended it by saying country like Japan doesn't have a grounding wire but Japan did just forced a must on grounding wire on every new electrical socket since like the 2010 lol

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    Thanks I just check my PoE switch and router and sure enough they all have plastic ports and use a brick power supply. I don't have a patch panel, I did hear from the contractors said something about a cabinet so I will asked them again about it.

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    I remember that there is a single black wire coming out during construction but I didn't see it anywhere, that might be the grounding wire. For electricians here it is kinda weird because we are in the half era if that make sense. Electricians used to be required to only run AC and even then...

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    Thanks. After visiting that website I realized I have F/UTP. Weird that I remembered from my classes years ago that having a foil and grounding wire mean that the wire are STP not UTP. Still there is also a problem that the grounded wire basically doesn't exist in my country which I will...

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    Thanks for explaining this further for me. But I do have a question, how do I "ground" them? Most electrical sockets in my country are two pronged, so even if I did use STP connectors would that mean it is not grounded? I will have to ask the contractors about this.

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    Thanks but I do meant crimped, I use a pass through connectors which ease up installing them for testing. The contractors hasn't installed the keystones yet and most wires are just dangling in the air. They just left for a few weeks due to scheduling and basically said we are free to test the...

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    Thanks. I did crimped a few with UTP for testing. If it is for testing then it is fine right?

    Solved Using Cat 6 UTP connector on Cat 6a STP wire?

    I already have a bunch of cat 6 UTP connectors but the contractor actually installed cat 6a STP instead of UTP. Any cons to installing UTP connectors on STP cables? And should I buy some STP connectors instead?

    Release ASUS RT-AX55 Firmware version 3.0.0.4.386_53244 (2025/06/20)

    Don't know why but via https I couldn't upload the file and it just reboot. I use firefox but I believe this is a problem since 2024 firmware and I did try chrome to update in a previous version. Just put your router in http. Edit: Grammar error lol I commented this at about 1AM.
