Hi all, happy to be here!
my first post so hope someone can help.
I have wired up flat with cat 6E cables. I have bought a network cable tester and found that there is a short between pins 4 &5 (blue cable and Blue with white bands) I confirmed with my multimeter that there is continuity between these two cables.
I am so annoyed with myself that I didn't test this earlier as now I have a wood floor down and not possible to take it up
My question is: do I need all 8 cables for an ethernet connection, i.e. tyo connect my PC to a SKY modem for example
Running a new cable means surface mounting which really will look awful
Many thanks all
