Re: Cat.5 Tester

[Ross McKillop <home@xxxxxxx>]

I did the same, then realised that the SIX cables hanging out the
wall=20=20
were too long and trimmed them (cutting off the markings - oops!)

We also have a really nice cable tester at work but it's rather=20=20
expensive (well actually it's here because i pinched it but it doesnt=20=20
count as mine and i'll take it back at some point) basically you=20=20
connect labelled ends to each cable then when connecting the tester
to=20=20
each cable at the other end it tells you what number it is ... we
have=20=20
16 ends (numbered 1-16) - connect them all to the patch bay then just=20=20
walk round the room testing cables - tells you all the numbers :)

Costs about =A3180 though!
