You should be using two separate cables for the T-1 (one for transmit, one for receive). 22AWG shielded is what we always used. If you have to use house cable you should use different binders for the transmit and receive pairs, but....

You're better off using shielded cable. General Cable used to make (might still) a 6 pair T-1 Cable where each pair was individually shielded. If you can get that then all you need is one cable. AT&T had shielded cable for T-1 but you needed 2 cables.

As far as no continuity...What all the guys have been saying. Remove your connections and ring out the cable pairs. Test for continuity and shorts and opens.
