Wrong order in CAT5 cabling -- does it matter? - Super User
WEB15. I've got in-wall CAT5 wiring in my house. The wall sockets were done by an electrician and the requirement was straight-through T-568B, but I think he got it wrong. When I use a cheap cable tester, I see that one end obviously sends this sequence: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 but the remote unit incorrectly reports with 3&6 swapped: 1-2-6-4-5-3-7-8.

WEBAs others have commented/answered, the "wire layout" (i.e. the color code) doesn't matter, the cable type (5/5e/6) determines signal properties (i.e. how far the signal can travel and at what "speed", etc.) so as long as the cable is POE capable (any 5+ cable, or CAT3 if less power is needed) and the switch/device is POE compliant (802.3af-at), the "color code" …
Can I use CAT5e jacks with CAT6 cable? - Super User
WEBOct 31, 2016 · As far as jacks go, the thicker conductors of Cat6 cable may or may not fit in the IDCs (Insulation Displacement Connectors) of a Cat5e jack. Most keystone-style jacks use either LSA-Plus (aka Krone) or 110 IDCs (or a very common new hybrid that accepts both types of punchdown tools). In theory both are compatible with wire up to 23 AWG …
rj 45 - Crimping a RJ45 with no stripes? - Super User
WEBApr 5, 2016 · Look at the wire carefully and figure out which colors are twisted together. Make a mapping from standard wire colors to your wire colors ensuring that each color and its corresponding striped wire are paired. So, for example, if your green and dark blue are paired, you can map them to orange and orange/white.
Ethernet cable tester only blinks on 4 and 5, incorrect order
WEBMar 17, 2021 · Transmitter is on B, only flashes 5, 4. Receiver is on A, only flashes 4, 5. On a separate Ethernet patch cable, the transmitter and receiver flash 1-8 in order. So I can rule out them being faulty. The above results are from this tester I purchased. When I use another, cheaper tester, no numbers light up at all (the cheaper receiver lights up ...

What speed can I expect using Gigabit over UTP cat 5?
WEBOct 2, 2014 · 2. You need CAT5E to attain gigabit speed. CAT5 does not support 1000BASE-T (=gigabit). There are some exceptions - it is then marked on the cable that it supports it, i.e. "verified for gigabit ethernet". I see some users have successfully used Gigabit over Cat 5, probably not reaching full Giganit speed.

WEBFeb 10, 2013 · However, if you do get a Cat5 100Mhz to transfer at 1Gbps over a short (physically short cable) connection then you still run the risk of packet loss. Cat5 vs Cat5e. • Network support - CAT 5 cable will support 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T network standards, that is it supports networks running at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
What does single flashing LED on Ethernet cable tester indicate?
WEBNov 25, 2019 · If less than two cables are connected, none of the lights is on. If two ends of a cable is disordered, for example NO. 2and NO. 4, then displays on: Main tester: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-G. Remote tester: 1-4-3-2-5-6-7-8-G. If two cables are short circuited, neither of the corresponding lights is on of the remote tester while main tester remains unchanged.

WEB2. The instructions you listed that you followed give the wrong wire order for a patch (router-to-PC) cable. The order on that cable appears to be for a crossover (PC-to-PC) cable (but I have not made one of those in a while). The correct order is, left to right with the clip side down: Orange-white stripe.
