Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a project that was using an Ethernet extender which converted the signal to VDSL, sent it over approximately 300 feet of tether, converted it back to Ethernet which then communicated with a couple of IP sensors. The extenders are proving to be unreliable however.
From my understanding, I only require 4 conductors for 10/100BaseT. I am trying to prove this concept before implementing it into the actual design. I have made two cables, which are using pins 1,2,3, and 6 on the RJ45 connectors.
The setup I am trying to test right now is PC --> switch --> PC and trying to ping back and forth. I am unable to get any communication doing this.
I have tried changing the speed settings on both of the PCs network adapters to be 100M.
Any insights into why this isn't working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
