So I had to add pin 3 to 1 (green/white to orange/white) and 6 to 2 (green to orange). Was having a weird issue at work today and needed an extra pair on the data pins. After combining had to come up with a way to still protect the wires, hence the 2 jackets in the rj. Really wish I had heat shrink tape but didn't have any in the work truck.
End result, the test failed successfully.
Wasn't a normal networking issue, was working with this fancy ethernet extender kit. Supposedly will extend network poe/data for 1.13 miles, my device was at around 1.8k feet. Well under its max range. Wasn't have a power issue just data loss. So I figured I'd try sacrificing 1 pair and adding it to the data pins. Solid idea but didn't work out for me. Definitely worth a shot though.

I'm sorry I'm so tired, but good luck. Placing Cordes is a bitch

1.13 miles ≈ 1.819 kilometres

I wonder under what conditions they tested that and got that distance lol

Not sure, but I did see it on their troubleshooting pdf

Reminds me of the time I bought the wrong DB-9 serial cable and ended up which was the data pins, clipping the wires to reverse them, and

Heakshrinking the whole thing back together. Fun times.

Try using CAT6 orCAT7 cable and terminators for better distance and data throughput.

The salesman sold direct burial cat5 unfortunately, definitely needed cat6

1/ There are a lot of brands that make cat baluns (extenders) not a lot of them are good or reliable. We had switched to Keydigital from

2/ AMX, it’s more money but we stopped having to go back to the site after a year because it would fail.

We went with Enable-IT, don't recommend em. It worked for a couple of months then just quit, they're tech support is blaming the wire 2/

But we tested the wire with the fancy fluke wire tester and it passed. Everything is pointing to their kit not working but they still say 3/

It's the wire. Thankfully we found a work around with some ubiquity antennas
