[Coco] [off-topic] cabling problems

[Luis Fernández]

Hi I had that problem in my earlyin my case was the order of colors
The terminals used are the 1-2 and 3-6 others are not used
and these must be linked or do not exceed 20 meters
example
1-2 intertwined protocols eg orange and orange-white
and
3-6 intertwined with another color (same color, and white) example: blue-Azulblanco
others do not matter

> I have changed plugs (cut the ends, re-wired with new RJ45), router and
