inspected cable ends

Tried to resolve Ian's networking problem. Removed the cover from his jack receptacle. Ugh. The wiring job was terrible. Untwisted wires, jacket cut way back. Ian admitted to this. I redid it (568A). Neat and tidy. Still no response. Was the wire bad?


Opened the comm box. Looked at the male end. The crimping was not done right. The jacket was deep in male jack and it looked like it was preventing the teeth from biting the metal. Ian thought Justin had done this. I didn't have any tools on hand to repair this end. So it would have to wait for another day.
