Please log in for more thread options Why a UTP cable will work at 10 MHz but will not work at 100 MHz? The same four cables are used in both frequencies. I have that problem with some cables. Greetings from Paraguay. Claudio Bogado Pompa. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Which termination pattern did you use? T-568-A or T-568-B? A split pair will sometimes work at 10 but almost always fail at 100. -- Robert | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Why would A vs B make any difference? Neither one splits a pair.

A more likely explanation is that he is running on old telephone plant quad pair style cable which will work reasonably well for short and medium length runs at 10Mbps but not at all at 100Mbps. Cat5 cable, which is required for 100Mbps operation, has very specific specs for the twist on each pair. The no. of twists per unit length is different from pair to pair in order to minimize both near end and far end cross-talk. See: pp 278-280 ISO/IEC 8802-3: 1996(E), the ISO std. for 10Base10. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It was probably a subtle suggestion that if the original poster could answer the question, he would have wired it to one standard or the other. I'd like to believe that UTP means Category 5+ cable. Again, giving the OP the benefit of the doubt. I'm guessing split pair. Carl Navarro | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Of course either will work, but if the OP doesn't know about either, it is extremely likely the OP split a pair. The correct patterns are non-intuitive. > I'd like to believe that UTP means Category 5+ cable.
