A short  video to show you how to terminate a Cat6 data cabling patch panel. The video shows how best to dress a patch panel and how to punch down Cat6 cables onto that patch panel. The videos shows how to match the patch panel and Cat6 cable for the correct Cat6 RJ45 wiring. 

With the correct termination the best performance for Cat6 speed can be achieved. The biggest problem found with cable terminations is untwisting the cores too much when terminating to the patch panel. These results in larger amounts of data loss and transmission problems. 

Care should be taken to minimise the untwisting of the cores as shown in the video
