Sorry, my bad, 'discussion' is that I should have said, and it did draw
out some really good comment :)
Let me get this straight- you have a Cat 5 cable from some point (say, a
comms cupboard, or server area), and you punch down all 8 cores to a socket
somewhere. Then you punch down (or otherwise electrically extend) those 8
cores to another socket somewhere else?
I can see that this means you can plug a device into one or other of the
sockets, and they are then connected back to the server area, but you are
just asking for trouble when someone plugs something into both sockets.
Yes, you're on to it! :(
Took us over 2 hours with the cable tracer to get our heads around where
the wires were running. Phone service was all on alarm cable. Data
cable that's looped from point to point.
What do you think the cross talk on those connectors would be?
I wasn't brave enough to plug the analiser in to it.
Cheers Don
