I'm helping a friend figure out the wiring in his new-to-him house. The good news is that we have numerous Cat5e jacks and wires around the house.
The bad news is that they're punched down to a weird board with the model number CC-TP0110. Based on googling, it seems to be:
CC-TP0110 - Concord Express phone to GE Security 10-port telco module
I removed one of the wires from the board and crimped a Cat6 plug on the end. (I don't think it should matter that it's a Cat5e cable and a Cat6 plug, but I'm including all the details.)
Using my LAN Data Tester, I can see that normal Ethernet cables will show lights on both sides of the wire in order, from 1-8.
This cable shows lights in this order. (The sending unit shows the normal 1-8 order. The receiving unit shows this.)
1,2,5,6,3,4,7,8
Here's a quick video in case that does not make sense.
I re-crimped the plug and got the same results (yay, consistency!). I also re-punched the wall jack, and I think I go the same results. What am I doing wrong? Is this an issue with T568B vs. T568A? I'm trying to use B because that seems more common.
FYI, here's an inexpensive network tester that I found on Amazon. The LAN Data Tester
