Hi All,
I've got cat 6 ethernet sockets dotted around the house and am now ready to connect these up to my patch panel and then to the switch using a patch cable.
I thought I would run a brief test before I get into all of it. It's not working![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I am following the B standard and have punched down cables into the patch panel and the ethernet socket. When I pug a ethernet cable between the laptop and the socket, there is no signal. If I plug the ethernet cable between the laptop and and the switch - all is fine.
This suggests an issue with the wiring at the socket or patch panel. I've double-punched all cables.
I would welcome any suggestions
