Can anyone see why...
Plumber did the install apparently
New way to connect a FCU. Done by - or at least under "supervision" of - a spark who was using NIC branded forms. Supplies this hand dryer.
I've seen worse, much much worse !Newly added data points.
One worked to the A standard and the other the B standard.I've seen worse, much much worse !
Went to test the cabling left behind by one tenant when they vacated an office, only found 2 pairs connected but on some it was 12&45, others it was 36&78 (or something like that), but also with pairs swapped so 36&78 might appear on 12&45 on the other end. Plus a few where there was nothing connected according to the tester.
Story was that the previous tenant (also a client of ours) had several offices, when they left, they had their electrician separate the networks so each was separate. No offence intended, but like previous criticism of plumbers and alarm installers, "a few" electricians really shouldn't be let loose with network cabling - especially if they aren't prepared to invest in at least the most basic of test equipment.
So, anyone like to guess what was wrong ?
Where's the output from the spur, or is it bunched in with the T&E'sNew way to connect a FCU. Done by - or at least under "supervision" of - a spark who was using NIC branded forms. Supplies this hand dryer.
Indeed, it's in with the T&Es. As suggested above, "fancy junction box". Cautionary tale: always do the safe isolation thing and test everything.Where's the output from the spur, or is it bunched in with the T&E's

More fun than that - mixing A and B would swap pairs butvstill leave 4 pairs connected. In this case, only 2 pairs were connected between any patch panel socket and wall socket.One worked to the A standard and the other the B standard.
American and British, it doesn't stand for those specifically but it's a good rule of thumb. Everyone use B for British across the board in the UK so there's never any major ---- ups.One worked to the A standard and the other the B standard.
I'll remember that - didn't realise it was that simple.American and British, it doesn't stand for those specifically but it's a good rule of thumb. Everyone use B for British across the board.

Bought my first RJ45 crimper back in the summer to make up half a dozen cables. All worked first time, except one 40m cable, so I invested in a cheap cable tester recommended in a thread on here. Soon found the problem using that. Master was sequencing 1,2,3...8, while the slave was sequencing 8,7,6...1 - I'd crimped one of the plugs on upside down. Could make out which is was through the translucent plastic of the plug, so five minutes later and one scrap plug, all was good.
Is that where you trim the cores to length after the plug is fitted?Also using through hole wiring plugs makes life easier

You've reminded me of an "incident" from a good few years ago. My employer at the time managed a campus WAN for a science park - each office/unit was pre-wired with a couple of network points, and one was cabled back to a switch port. We could remotely provision internet access just by configuring the port and allocating them an IP address or range.... I'd crimped one of the plugs on upside down.
