Hello, I'm new here and was hoping someone could help me with some basic questions. As the title states, my newly installed 230 foot direct burial cat6 cable is showing 1,2,3,X,X,6,X,X on the cable tester. I didn't notice until earlier my speeds dropped to 0.5mbps and I was evicted from a zoom room. When I spotted this on the tester, I re-fit both ends of the cable. I'm new to this and thought I'd made a poor connection. After replacing both ends the tester shows the same result. I'm left to assume that somewhere in this very long very inaccessible cable there is a place where, according to my reading, my blue and brown cables have been cut. Is there a way to test where along the length the cut is without just chopping the cable in half? Additionally, I'm now getting 10mbps and I'm on DSL. Are the remaining wires sufficient to carry my connection or should I expect repeated interruptions?
Thank you!
Thank you!
