I have run a couple of cat5e cables and I am trying to terminate them, unsuccessfully at present.
Will a cable tester help me? I suspect that each time I put a plug on the end one or more of the wires is in the wrong place, or not quite long enough to make the connection. Coupled with this I am only 90% sure which cable end is which at the switch end (ie the centre of the star), having failed to mark them. Is there some sort of cable tester that can, eg, tell me what wires are right and what are wrong, and which end of the cable is wired wrong? And, heres the hit, can someone in ChCh lend me one? Desperate and frustrated in Linwood. N
