Anyone?

Hello all I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with a few questions about the Acer Helios 300 "2020" edition. Apparently, it is identical to pre-2020 editions apart from: The power connector plugs into the rear of the laptop (not the side) It has a strip of additional (at least I...

Hey all, I am hoping someone can help me. I have a friend's laptop here (I think it's Windows 8/8.1), they have forgotten their password and asked me to help. I can usually find a free Password removal tool, but after over an hour of searching, all I came across were those you have to buy...

Thanks again Bill (y)

I'm going with the keystone plug as it looks much easier to deal with. What would I need altogether to set up keystone termination? Right now all I have is the cable. I'll need keystone plugs I've found this Cat6a patch panel...

Should I follow this guy to terminate the rj45: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo3-ObGOJig&t=1s

Ok thanks all. I think I shall buy the one in the link above and look to strip back and ground it.

The one in the link below says it's U/FTP which I looked up and it's for Unshielded Foil Twisted Pair. Is this the right cable? www.amazon.co.uk/CAT6a-Outdoor-Rated-Shielded-Screened/dp/B0773X8NST

That easy? I think even I can manage that. :D Thanks Bill! Much appreciated (y)

Ah, ok. I don't know how to strip back the wires, so do you know if they sell cat6a direct burial that's unshielded? It took me a good couple of hours finding the above (shielded) cable, and I didn't recall seeing anything unshielded.

Sorry Bill, are you saying I can negate the shielding by crimping the ends with a keystone jack?

Thanks all. I couldn't find any ethernet cables on the dlink website. But I think I have found a suitable ethernet cable on Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/CAT6a-Outdoor-Rated-Shielded-Screened/dp/B0773X8NST All copper Gel-filled AWG 23 Shielded Outdoor usage (HDP Insulation) they say (more...

Thanks Bill I'm in the uk and I will need a cable of 50 metres. But as you say, the things I need to look out for is that they are entirely copper, and the wire size is 24. I'm conidering this: www.amazon.co.uk/GIGABIT-OUTDOOR-Ethernet-Network-EXTERNAL/dp/B009XSF20S Interesting comment down...

Thanks so much for this Bill, I really appreciate the in-depth reply. Could you perhaps, offer a direct link to an ethernet cable for me, please? I'm a bit unsure of what 'exactly' to spend my money on and I would appreciate someone pointing one out for me. Thanks again!

Hi all I'm looking to run an ethernet cable to my outside shed. I've already got electricity there, via armoured cabling along the base of the garden fence, and the idea is to attach the ethernet cable alongside it. Can you recommend a high quality shielded Ca6 cable, is there a best one I...
