  1. Thanks for the replies. Given I’ve manually tested the most worrisome cables I think I’m going to close up where I can but slowly terminate and test half of each redundant cable pair I’ve prewired.

    Feeling much less anxious now.

  2. Help! I’ve prewired an old European apartment with CAT6a, around 50 drops to a sigle area. They run above suspended ceiling and behind plasterboard on brick.

    Before I close off walls and ceilings I need to test them all. I’ve started doing the testing with a wire pair continuty tester. This works but it’s slow.

    So, is there a technique or tool that might be quicker?

    Or am I better just terminating them all with keystones and testing with regular kit?

    #xlr ist ja nicht #cat6 oder sowas, sondern einfach nur strippe für mikro oder so.

    kann eigentlich nicht sein.

  4. Well, I decided my #home #wifi #network could use a little update; just to get #cat6 running to all the #ethernet ports in the #house.

    Despite having run my own #routers in the past (#DDWRT and #pfsense) I'm going to give #TPLink another shot.

    Went with a #wifi7 model just to future proof a little.

  5. My #superpower is: I'm able to #crimp an #ethernet cable in which not a single wire, out of 8, is conductive end to end.
