Yes, I’m the guy that just joined to ask a question... I am stumped by a simple 5e termination problem that I cannot solve and I have no one else to turn to..... so here goes.
My house has prewired Cat5e into a couple of locations and I have AT&T fiber professionally installed into one of those. I wanted to move the connection from the wall where it was to a different wall, so I cut the cable, pulled it out of the wall and ran it down into my new box. Nothing I do, though, will give me a connection. I’ve tried four different ways of connecting—RJ-45, Cat5e female connection, Cat6, and the original connector. Everything reports as a short on the tester I have. I’m an amateur at this but I’m pretty certain I’m punching down the connectors properly. I took pictures of the original termination and I’m certain I’ve replicated it properly.
I’m at a loss. Help???
