  • Ensure the correct wiring scheme (T568A or T568B) was used consistently for all terminations.
  • Test the patch cord itself by connecting it directly between two known working devices.
  • Use a cable tester to verify continuity and proper wiring of the terminated cables.
• Koneksyon tanzantan:
  • Inspect patch cords for damage or kinks.
  • Ensure retention caps are firmly in place on the punchdown blocks.
  • Check for excessive untwisting of wire pairs at the termination point, which can degrade signal quality.
• Vitès rezo a ba:
  • Confirm that all components in the network path (cables, switches, network cards) are rated for Category 6 or higher.
