Real World Cat6 Termination: Punch Down Patch Panel & Keystones (T568B) + Klein Scout Pro 3 Testing

Watch me tackle a real-world Cat6 termination job in a live office remodel! In this raw, minimally edited service call, I punch down Cat6 cables into a patch panel and wall plate keystones using T568B standard. See how I handle service loops, reuse preexisting cables, use a punch down tool properly, and test everything with the brand new Klein Scout Pro 3 cable tester (first time using it on a job!). Lots of practical tips: color code checks, testing the first cable fully, avoiding common punch down mistakes, managing slack, and troubleshooting when multiple old cables fail on the exact same pairs (1 & 2). Perfect for low voltage techs, Field Nation / Work Market freelancers, or anyone learning hands-on networking.

He terminates Cat6 cables into a patch panel and wall plate keystones using T568B standard. Unable to film the cable pulls in a live environment, he focuses on common challenges: reusing preexisting cables, creating service loops, managing slack, proper punch-down technique, and testing with his brand-new Klein Scout Pro 3 cable tester (used for the first time on this gig). Viewers get practical tips—always test the first cable fully, check color codes, avoid common punch-down mistakes, and stage cables neatly (even if not BICSI-level). He demonstrates efficient termination workflow, troubleshooting when multiple old cables fail on pairs 1 & 2, and rotating the patch panel for easier access. The job, from a direct contract client paying $70/hour, reveals why reusing old cabling can backfire (they were terminated to a 66 block in the attic).
