Must be the "geeks" hardware & not the cable.
I have been guilty of having to "splice" a network run ( in emergencies only! ) Only to find the connection works flawlessly. I have also had to do this when a building management office decided to have one of their "engineers" clean up a phone closet....
Get ready...
The customer caught him cutting everything! They were trying to move in that weekend & I was on -call. The customer had about 6 T-1's coming out of this closet, so, I installed a cat-5 jack on one end of the cable & a RJ-45 connector on the other end of the cable...
I'm not proud of this, but, the customer was in a pinch & I was'nt prepared to pull new runs at the time...
Do to negligence, we have not returned to replace these runs in over 2 years...
My moral to this is, don't fix what is'nt broken...
Again, I am ashamed to tell this tale, but, if your cable is good, then it "mus be yo' network switch"
That last comment was for Ed
:shhh:

An RJ45 for a T1? Shouldn't that have been an RJ48X? Gotcha! ![[Linked Image from clipart.co.uk]](https://www.clipart.co.uk/clipart/mazeguy/animated/rotfl.gif)

When I did the install at the Hawthorne C.O. I had two locations I neglected to run cat-5 to. In the terminal room I patched a pair of Ethernet connections to the backboard, cross-connected to old 25-pair cat-3 cables, put six-bangers on the floor end, and it's pushing 100baseT just fine. About 100 feet total which surprised me, I didn't think it would work. Mike, just because you have blinking lights on the NIC and switch and the PC is on the LAN doesn't mean that it's working "just fine." In all likelihood it is probably only pushing 2-10 Mb/s. I can guarantee that it is not pushing 100Mb/s.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE MAXIMUM DISTANCE FOR A CABLE RUN IS THE SAME FOR CAT6 AS IT IS FOR CAT5e.
