I've run cat5e to all rooms in my house and now i'm in the progress of wiring it all up and i'm running into problems.
I wired up both ends of a cable (one end in my office and the other under the stairs) and my network tester tells me I have 8 good connection – great. I have wired both end as follows:
1 = W/o
2 = o
3 = w/g
4 = bl
5 = w/bl
6 = g
7 = w/br
8 = br
I now go to the cable at the office end and wire it into a RJ45 CAT5E network outlet module, following the guide and adhering to the T568B standard as follows:
1 = w/o
2 = o
3 = w/g
4 = bl
5 = w/bl
6 = g
7 = w/br
8 = b
but when I connect the cable tester to it I get nothing. If I had trouble crimping I would have thought I would have still got at least one connection.
Is my theory correct on wiring? It might just be that the socket and crimp tool i'm using is rubbish and that's what's causing the problem but before I try again (for the 10th time) I thought I would check that i'm doing this right!!!
Thanks.
