[QUOTE="Barx, post: 526182, member: 121"] Are you connecting the cores in correct order? Following either T-568A or T-568B on both ends? Not following this layout can cause bad cross-talk. Are you using pass through RJ45 connectors? I heard many times of these causing issues. Try closed end. Are there any LEDs on whatever you are connecting cable to. These will usually indicate connection link speed. What do they seem to indicate? Also in the mac / pc operating system you should be able to see the link speed of the connection (not just a net speed test). It looks to me like it is only connecting at 100mb/s rather than 1000. This again could be related to the connectors used. All pins may be showing OK on your tester, but 1 or 2 may not be making good connection within the device port. I've had this before and a little wiggle side to side sometimes helps the springy fingers fall into place. [/QUOTE]
