After terminating Cat6 cable I plug it in to cable tester to check if every ping/pair is fine and I can use the cable. The problem I am having is that after crimping Cat6 cable with either T568A or T568B termination my tester says that there is a problem with pin 3 and 6. When I get into my office and do the same with a different cable the tester says everything is fine and the cable is working ok. Is something wrong with my outside cable or am I doing it wrong?
Okay, I'm confused - what's different between inside and outside the office. Just the cable spool you're pulling from? – Shinrai – 2011-09-14T22:44:52.230
That's correct. – Darius – 2011-09-14T22:47:44.887
I guess in the absence of anything else it almost HAS to be that, though. Maybe one of those wires was threaded to too thin a gauge or something at the factory...try just cutting a short piece and seeing what a continuity tester has to say about those wires? – Shinrai – 2011-09-14T22:56:02.067
Nevermind, you tried with both specs, so using DIFFERENT cable pairs?! Now I'm really confused. (Unless they're the same between A and B - I don't have these memorized.) – Shinrai – 2011-09-14T22:57:03.907
