I am trying to use some surge protectors but am running into fcs/crc issues. I tried to go to surge-protection.org which I believe used to have some helpful information, but it is no longer available.
The configuration I am attempting is connected as follows: 1. Mikrotik CCR1009 2. 3ft cat6A STP patch cable 3. 800-GIGE-TWR-J-HV-PCB Rev E 4. 1ft cat6A STP patch cable 5. Shielded cat6A keystone 6. 76ft cat6 FTP (Shireen DFP-1246) 7. Shielded cat6A keystone 8. 1ft cat6A STP patch cable 9. 800-GIGE-SS-HV-PCB Rev C2 10. 1ft cat6A STP patch cable 11. 800-POE-FUSE Rev B 12. 1ft cat6A STP patch cable 13. Netonix WS-12-250-DC Keystone jacks are currently MonoPrice 15681, although I have tried two other products as well Patch cables are MonoPrice 24335, 24319 I do not have a cable certifier, but the Mikrotik and Netonix both report fcs/crc errors at 1000fdx with this setup. I have also tried using 800-GIGE-TWR-J-HV-PCB as both 3 and 9, and then 800-GIGE-SS-HV-PCB with identical outcomes. The issue no longer exists if I remove either 3 & 4 or 8 & 9 from the configuration. Removing 10 & 11 has no noticeable effect. I have three sets of the above and all respond same. I am testing both with and without power on the power lines in the Shireen. Is there anything obvious I am missing? My understanding is this should work well with cat5e, so any of the components *claiming* to be cat6/cat6A would have to be even worse than that. Is that likely?
