You mention that you are crimping ends on network cable. Is the cable solid or stranded wire? Crimping RJ45 plugs on solid wire is asking for trouble.
-----Original Message----- From: Phillip Partipilo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 11:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cable tester suggestion I've got a basic cable tester that essentially just tests continuity and polarity. Every now and then, during our rollout of entire-office gigabit, there is a line that performs like crap. This cheap tester makes the connection look fine, when, after a re-crimp, it obviously is not. I know more sophisticated testers exist, that might indicate a small short, crosstalk, interference, reflections, a partial-crimp causing resistance, etc. If any of you use and/or have used such a tester, what would you recommend?
