Spot the failures

This time it's an older "how to" video on how to run computer cabling.

Tho obviously light on NEC violations (there's one in the beginning not even related to the topic), the video is full of bad/wrong/misleading info. I figured those who do LV work will get a kick out of it...and know why we run across some of the things we do. :slaphead:

Computers that use wires for communication? How quaint. :angel:

Exactly who I would want to ask- a builder.

haha. I just have to wonder how many of these "RJ-45" keystones have been wired in a similar manner because of videos like these.

Videos like the one I linked make me want to call up my old employer and thank him for teaching me correctly...

Yes it was. I counted no fewer than 13 items that were NEC/TIA no-nos. The only thing that was correct imo is that the jack was installed pins on top.

At the end where he leaves about five inches exposed.... It's a no no.
