Hi guys,
Today I spent a few hours crawling under the house drilling holes and feeding an ethernet cable from the computer to the TV so that I can hardwire the media player.
Once the cable was in place in place I though it a good idea to test the 5 metre cable before connecting the wall plates etc.
Sadly, no signal. I plugged one end directly into the router and the other into a laptop, but no network connection ensued.
The cable is brand new Cat5 (Dynamix) from Cables Direct.
What are the chances that it is a dud cable? Should I have any problems running over a mere 5 metres?
Tks, R.
