Yep, that is what I was wondering too, i.e. what is considered "wired correctly" ?

I learn something new every day. Do you have a link available to read what pairs are actually needed for 100 Full? Or post the specs here. Tks -----Original Message----- From: Larry Bolhuis [mailto:lbolhuis@arbsol.com] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 1:43 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: Ethernet Line Tuning Slight correction: 10 and 100Mb will operate happily *HALF or *FULL on only two pairs. Clearly bad cable can preclude the use of 100Mb speeds but if the cable works at *HALF it will work for *FULL duplex. If you intend to go to 1000Mb (1Gb) then you will need ALL FOUR pairs correctly wired and you WILL need cat5 or better wire. Chris is right that basic cable testers don't test for duplex because they don't actually communicate with the switch or hub, they just test the wire. - Larry _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@midrange.com Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
