Hi,
I've run a cat6 cable to the office at the bottom of my garden and it won't get a signal.
Things I've considered;
1- I bought specific " outdoor" cable, double sheathed and 'vaseline' in the core keeping any water out. So unlikely to be cable.
2- cable run is about 55m. When testing the cable we needed the higher powered meter but signal was good.
3- one end of the cable terminates in a jack which goes directly into the router, the other end I've terminated in a box, could this be a problem, would it be better with a box at both ends?
4- yes both the jack and box ends use type B wiring (and I've wired a fair few cat6 jacks now, but I redid both ends just in case and no change).
I'm at the limit of my limited knowledge, any help most appreciated.
Many thanks
Susie
