CAT6 VS CAT5 TIME OUT
Last response: in Networking
Hello
I'm having a problem with my new system let me start off with the basic.
I moved in to a new 25000sqf warehouse and had a cat6 cable system put in with 4 switches that is used by 20 plus pc 5 printer a packaging machine, 8 cameras and 4 scan gun terminal.
Also changed over my pos system and a new system from barcoders.com that included scan guns and terminals.
All the runs to the 4 terminals are cat6 and under 300 feet long the problem I'm having is that only 3 of the 4 terminals will ever work when i have all 4 hooked up i get time outs on the scan guns and the terminal as well.
I have talk to the company i purshed from and they told me they need to be cat5
but the lines have been ran and are very high up and hard to access to test cat5 lines.
Any idles what to do to find the real problem with the system
If any one out there can help or need more info i can answer the questions

That cat5 crap is their way of saying "we don't want to work on finding a fix so we're only supporting our exact specs even though it will work fine with anything else".
Does it matter which 3 of 4 are used, any combination of 4 will drop the connection? I mean could it maybe be the same 4th you are adding that is causing the issue? Lets say A,B,C work, you add D and it drops. Does A,B,D work? And if you add C to the mix it drops? Could be something in the wiring to the jacks maybe? Try different cables? Or maybe by-pass the internal wiring and try a long cable right from the POS to the switch?
