in this video we're gonna continue on a series of videos we've been producing on home networking we
look at Crabtree's Instinct range within the range they do the Euro module one that we've
used here for the RJ45's for a HDMI lead here and a coax point here for this video we're going
to be concentrating on the Keystone range this range comes in one game two gang three
and four and allows you to fit male and female TV corrects f-type satellite TV phone both master and
secondary RJ45 four cables five e six six eight and seven as well as RJ11 HDMI and USB type A two
and three so this first of all look at one of the benefits of using the Keystone range from instinct
to the end user before we go on and see how it can benefit the electrician so let's take our patch
lead and plug into our Euro module first and that will goes in there and then to our Keystone range
here and we're going to look out far from the surface we are to the cable when it has a smooth
Bend on it take my put a nice smooth Bend in there and I am from the wall six centimeters to the
actual cable itself now on the Keystone range with a nice smooth bend in it and three centimeters
away so therefore whatever goes in front of this can be pushed considerably closer to the wall this
is even more so when we look at the HDMI leave next so let's take one of these into the Euro
module first like so and then into our Keystone range already you can probably see how much
further out this one is than this so let's measure it again I'll put a nice smooth Bend on it like so
and we measure that one from the surface out being generous nine centimeters from that surface and
I smooth bending this one and we're at five and a half centimeters so therefore we can see again you
can get considerably closer to the walls by using the Keystone range and that will be a benefit to
the customer it's going to show you a nice feature that we found when we opened up the rj45 for the
cat 6 cable so on this little plate on here that works in two ways it works as a grip for them in
other words no tie wrap needed you push this into position it holds the conductors in but it also
works as the tool for the insulation displacement meaning that we don't need the traditional punch
down tool that we've seen so many time in the back of these style of connectors so we don't
need this so I'll attempt to show you how to do this so let's take a piece of cat6 cable and
we'll make it an end off so strip it back to start where there's always and will own twist
or lock inductors grid of the string won't twist those conductors and what that's all about is just
laying them in to the right position so exactly the same as always where we've obviously gonna
untwist them and straighten them out but then it's a case of laying them in the right order and
then just pushing back this plate here in order to make the connections and twist all of these
they're all interested let's remove the center piece of plastic fall down all the way give it
a little tug okay so now let's open up a packet the bits that we get inside so there's the rj45
and the end of our conductors will go into and then this piece here the grooves in it
works as our insulation displacement but then a clamp afterwards really clever so take a few
moments to lay these out into the right position we're using the B method of connection so if I
turn it around now I've got white and orange followed by orange so I can lay my first two
out so now I've got in there and I'm going to go white an orange followed by orange so I've
got those two proximally into position and then the next two down white and brown and
brown as I take my white and brown lay that under the orange one followed by my Brown's
I tell my one I'm just gonna kick that down there followed by Brown and then on the other
side I go white and blue we and blue followed by blue it's worth just taking a few moments just
to lay them out as best you can before putting them in so go white and blue blue followed by
white and green and then finally green this one down here so which one I lay those out
as best we can so we've got them sprayed out we can offer them into position like so and maybe
this is the time we just give them a little tug into position so maybe just lay them on top of
the actual displacement connection in the right position again it just takes a few few moments to
to lay them out and once you've laid them out perhaps give them a little tug down hold them
that's one side done and then only the other side helped in position and once you've got
them in position just have a little check and none of them have come stray that one there's
just probably just trying to find its way out take that little one - like so push it down and then we
have it we've made those connections off so just get that firm push down look around it you can see
obviously connected and connected this is not a cord grip here or here okay so it's been held on
by the actual clamp itself just trim these off and by doing that maybe a little bit more on that one
yeah while doing that that has done the insulation displacement for us we're pushing that down into
position meaning that we're fully connected up there so I think when yet used to this style
of connection that can make electricians life easier just line those in and then just pushing
them firmly together you have to give it a really good squeeze in order to make a nice connection
but again when you get used to it I've got here a satellite connection which obviously clips in
like so nice and straightforward that has a retaining clip you need to push that in as
well in order to hold it firmly into position another tip with these is you're going to need
a box that's at least 32 moved deep so finding a dryline box not a problem at all you're going
to change one into a wall just be careful 28 MILCON quite deep enough so if you're going to
chase a box into the wall to use a slightly deeper box in order to make the connections
for this style so I think we're see now how the Crabtree instinct range in these Keystone plates
be a real benefit to a home networking system imagine you had a 4-game plate you know HDMI
lead cat six telephone and a coax point or within them and we know the angle created from them means
that furniture can be pushed a lot closer to the the wall we also saw how we didn't need at all in
order to make off our cat 6 cable in the back of our rj45 and the actual pressing down or crimping
of it also worked as a cord grip and I think when you master that that can make electricians life
easier and you know we like that effects however if you don't need comments on home networking
systems please make sure you leave them below and we'll try and get back to as many as we can
