Any LAN wiring cable experts out here?
Hello!
I am stuck on a more hands-on project that wants to turn me into an axe murderer, part II. Instead of yelling at clouds again, irritating my neighbo (u) rs ("OMG, he flies airplanes"), I've decided to post on pprune. Most feedback on here had been excellent!
I have laid a CAT 6 cable (~20m) in my basement to connect a mini switch (Unify Flex) to the main unit (UI Dream Machine SE). I want to connect security cameras and maybe even an exterior AP via the UI Flex. I crimped the LAN cable (T-568B) and it tested OK. Connected it and ... no data. The UI Flex powers up, even powers one of the security cameras, but no data transfer between the flex and the DM. I disconnected everything, tested the cable again (no faults), even tested the ports on each unit with a different cable and everything checks OK.
Any ideas? I am confused why the LAN tester checks OK, but no data transfer occurs. Should I re-crimp?
