Wall Port Cabling Learning - Face Plate to Patch Panel

Unlike my previous one I done 4 years ago, this time I decide to go back to practice, now I have improved my skills.

In this video, I decide not just improving my skills on wiring network jack, I also purchase Trendnet TC-9O8C6 which a 8 port mini Patch Panel. Wiring 2 ports connecting to the double wall port face plate.

As you see in the video I still use the outdoor Cat6 cable which is designed for Weatherproof.. Because the Cat6 cable are designed for outdoor which is weatherproof the shield of the cable is very thick which is more challenging just like the previous one I have done.
Since I improved doing wiring using the thick cable, then I use normal ethernet cable at work it was easy to wire.

The idea of me doing the patch panel practice is that way when I am expose to the large patch panel e.g. 48 port and wiring long cable between offices in the building I become more confident at the real world environment.

I even made sure I did a test on my laptop to confirm that the wiring I have done connect to the internet successfully.
