What do these cables do?
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me understand this as I don't to a lot of physical network setup. It all seemed obvious until this point.
A customer has asked me to fill his pre-cabled (by BT) office with computers but there is one ethernet port that did not work whereas all the others worked as expected. I took the front off and found that the wires hadn't been connected so I went ahead with my krone tool and did what I thought had to be done but that did not work either.
The one difference about this port is the fact it has another pair of white cat5 cables alongside the normal purple cables that connect through to the switch. I don't know where the white cables go but they are connected together at this end by some clear plastic connectors using the the Blue/whiteblue from one and the orange/whiteorange from the other.
Does anyone recognise whats going on here?
Many thanks!!
