    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    The problem does not persist when plugging a phone into the KSU......I still have not resolved the problem - I've had other network issues (not cable related), which have taken my time recently. I'm hoping to get a tech in within the next week or so, and will let people know what the resolution is.

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    Thanks all, Unfortunately, I think it's time to call in a tech. I think it's the color coded mod plug that's really screwing me up. I have a relatively friendly local tech, who can problably come in and how me what I did wrong and let me do all the other extensions once he fixes one. Special...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    Max, Thanks. I will try that. If that does not work, I will also try the USOC RJ11 standard that you mention. I have enough cable at the PBX end, and the connectors are cheap enough (it's worth it just to relieve the stress). One question on that - is that the cable order looking at it from...

    MaxG & BobG, OK - so (sorry if I seem stupid), but according to what I think you are saying, here is what I should have: Mod Plug Color Blu Blu Org Org Grn Grn Brwn Brwn Mod Plug Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Cable Color B w w o l h h r...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    Could it be to do with the modular plug at the telephone end (a cat5 plug)? It is color coded brown, green, orange, blue (reading from pin 1 to pin 8). For the cat 5 cabling (why oh why didn't I just run cat5 for the phones as well), I passed the connections straight through - brown-brown...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    I think I'm just going to cry ;-< I tried both ways - and event tried the 258A, 568a and 10BaseT from the previously provided diagram. None worked. The only thing that worked was putting it back how I had it, and that still gives me the interference and the inability to conference in a 2nd...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    wow - thanks for all the replies everyone. The wire is definitely cat3 with 2 pairs - an orange pair (org, wht/org) and a blue pair (blu, wht/blu). The cat3 wires run directly from the Partner II system to the modular plugs at each of the jack locations - I did not install a 66 block in the...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    Unfortunately, I don't remember how it was wired at the old office. I did note the wiring at the pbx, but it then ran into a patch panel and from there to the jacks. I'm using cat 3, 2 pair - which just has orange and blue pairs. When you say that it uses pins 3-6 - is that just at the...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    Thanks. I have a partner ii pbx, with Partner phones. Everything was working fine in the old office (admittedly with the cat5). What's pointing me towards the cabling are: 1. I cannot conference a 2nd line. I can put the first line on hold, dial the 2nd line, but when I press conf again, I...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    It is showing up to some extent in all of the phones, although it definitely seems to be worse in the phones furthest from the PBX. However, the distance to the furthest phone is only about 80 feet - so I did not think that it was cable distance. I thought it might be interference initially...

    Problems with cat3 running parallel with cat5

    Hi, We've just moved offices and because of financial constraints, I did the cabling myself. To each network point, I ran 2 * cat 5 cables (for networking) and 1 * cat 3 cable 2 pair (for phone). When I took the face plates off at the old office, I discovered that they had run Cat5...
