Stay away from powerline ethernet

Give us the mouse trap video 😀

Looks like our school library "crawlspace" - 55 years of lovely dust and abandon rodent condos!

You could send your robot in to clean up your crawl space!

Of course! They sound like cheap switching power supplies! :-(

Marco Reps

Indeed! I wonder if those interferences make a difference in HiFi audio tho, because there usually *relatively* low resistances involved

Giovambattista Currado

Well done, those adapters are s...

Marco Reps

I don't think they would be ok with wearing respirators tho :)

Need to train those pups to pull your cable!

Zack

I should know better than to second guess you :) Yes, many devices now have Auto MDI-X which is responsible for automatically crossing the pairs on one side, but I too prefer to do it manually when appropriate. Thank you for all that you do!

Good riddance stupid ethernet cover thing. I hate those ones with the half circle tab protection. I always go out of my way to buy cables/connectors with a different design tab protection.

Marco Reps

I am an old-timer so I made a cross-over cable to connect a computer to computer - I don't think that's necessary any more, because modern devices seem to select their pairs automatically

Zack

Not sure, so I apologise if I am incorrect, but it looked in the video like you may have had the color code backwards. TIA-568A or B is the standard scheme (most people do B). Pin 1 is on the left with the tab facing down: <a href="https://www.incentre.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ethcable568b.gif" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.incentre.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ethcable568b.gif</a> It very well could have been a trick of the lighting though

I almost always forget the boot before crimping as well. Probably more often than forgetting heatshrink till it's too late.

You are not alone in the "forgot to put the cover on first before crimping" camp. Have a seat by the fire and crack a beer.
