The majority of all wiring problems can be found at the
termination points. A chart of common wire map problems and
suggested solutions is shown below.
Test Results
Possible Solutions
Crossed pair
Depending on what the cable is being used
for, this may be okay. A crossed-pair cable
is common for a 10BASE-T application
when connecting two HUBs.
Double check the desired specifications for
that segment and re-terminate the segment
to correct the wiring if necessary.
If problem continues, follow the possible
solutions for “OPEN on one or more of the
pairs” below.
OPEN on one or
more of the pairs
Perform a length test to locate fault. Go to
the fault and correct wiring error.
If you cannot locate the fault by the length
test, check all terminations at punch down
blocks, patch panels and wall plates.
If no miswires are found, back up to the next
closest telecommunication outlet, or
transition point and test from there.
Continue to the next outlet or transition
point until fault is isolated. Then, re-
terminate segment.
If problem continues, it could be a damaged
cable.
