Hi arutl, How many links are we talking about? The best way to tell whether your cabling is going to support gigabit would be to have a contractor come in and certify it to CAT5e. Your could even hire a certifier yourself if you familiarise yourself with the tests.

Hi There, I've seen that page before as well, and also a video on youtube of a cold cure termination which also had a crimp part. I contacted the supplier today as well, but so far no-one has called me back to answer the question. I also emailed a supplier of crimp tools to see if they could...

Hello All, I've recently been given some fibre optic tools and am eager to learn how to use them. I've managed to find some good tutorials on the net for the termination of SC and ST connectors but am still a little confused about crimp sizes. These are the SC connectors that came with the...

Thanks for that. In this case its going to have to be a copper link as there is no budget for extra switches and the existing ones are not fibre compatible. The 25 pair cable just looked tempting for ease of installation, many of the cabs are in older parts of the building where installation...

Hello, When looking through a catalogue I noticed this cable for sale. Can somebody explain to me how this is used in a data cabling enviroment. I'm looking at upgrading some cab to cab links so that we can have at least 4Gbps running between them using 4x 1000Base-T links and port trunking...

Thanks for all the excellent replies. Just to close this post; I went back yesterday to correct the issue, after several re-terminations I managed to get all of the links certified, not with a great amount of headroom but at least they passed. This must be to do with the quality of the cable...

CAT6, I was simply comparing it to installing cat5 i.e. harder

Thanks wires, You are dead on with your suggestion. I think when I go back on Monday I will take the two patch panels away from the cabs and try again with a test length of cable as you suggested. You're also right about me just really wanting to understand the problem. I've installed...

Hi trvlvr1 Thanks for the reply. The microtest is an old scanner now, and the metrel is not so common, more of a european tester I think. The pinout is definitely correct (568B standard) As I say the metrel is brand new and the Omni recently calibrated, as they are both giving similar...

Hi there wires, thanks for the reply. Yes, both testers indicate high next on pairs 36,12 (around -1.3db headroom) We were working against the clock so I only had time to terminate and test once, I will be able to go and have a go at retermination early next week. Using both testers TDNXT...

Thanks for your informative reply. I'm UK based so you may not be familiar with Excel, but its one of the larger cabling suppliers in the UK. Its comes under the parent company of Mayflex, who also supply Brand-Rex and Belden. As I said, this is a non-commericial job. Just try to help a friend...

Hello, Can anybody give me some advice on where I may be going wrong with this as its frustrating me somewhat. I've just installed two CAT6 Right angle patch panels with an 18M CAT6 link x 4 between them, all using the same brand of hardware (Excel) The cabling was installed very carefully...
