Hey I've just networked my apartment and was using a cable tester and 2 of the cables seem faulty.
When I test one of the cat6 cables the tester only lights up to 6 and then restarts again, this is happening on both ends of the tester when it should be going up to 8 LED lights for a good cable.
The other cable in the other room the LED's light up from 1-2 then jumps to 5 then back to 3, 4, 6,7,8.
What do these results mean and what should I be doing to fix the cables? should I cut them at both ends and terminate them again with new modular plugs?
Thanks
