[QUOTE="Dave_uk, post: 522563, member: 34482"] I have installed a new Cat5e cable (about 10m) between my network hub and a new office outlet. The cable does not light up with my cable tester (with new battery). I made a test lead with all pairs shorted out to plug into the wall socket and a second socket (to accept the new RJ45) wired to a choc-bloc. I get 0 ohms on my multimeter for each pair of wires, but still no lights on the tester and no signal detectable on a laptop. Any suggestions how to work out whats going wrong? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
