While working in the roof I wanted to move the 2 wire cable the was hanging up in the rafters over a little.
Unfortunately when I did this, the cable popped out of the demarc...
I figured since I had botched it, I may as well run the cat6 I have straight to the demarc point.
My "demarc" outside turned out not to be a true demarc. It was just a tiny plastic box with cable going in (no cut/terminated/screwdowns inside) then coming out and going up into the roof.
I then pulled the cable out from under the eave (could not reach it inside the crawl space) and all I got were 3 bare wires. Red blue black. This Red blue black goes directly to the telephone pole without any termination inbetween.
I stripped the wires back and used a butt-set to see what I could get tone off it and I got nothing! ><
I tried all combinations (bar combining 2 into 1 as I was at the top of a ladder frustrated at the time).
What would be the best way to get in back in action again? Is there something that needs to be done to the 3-wire before I can get tone again?
My current jacks were all 2 wire, coming off the original 2 wire cable. Very old thick black power-like cable. The cable going to the "demarc" is newer gel filled type.
Help appreciated. And fast....have to be at mums house borrow the net to do this ;)
note: I do have wiring and maintenance, but I guess I can cancel that now.
