I've just diagnosed a fault with the wired Ethernet in the house
(diagnostic testers are a great help).

The tester showed that Pin 1 was not connected.

After some squinting into the socket - fair enough, one of the thin
metal bars for the contact between the plug and socket was up against
the top, not angled down. No idea how that happened.

Anyway, it must be 5 years since I wired the thing up (electrician ran
most of the cables) and I can find RJ45 plugs, but no RJ45 sockets.

The ones I want are the modular type which clip into a faceplate.

seems to be what I want; can't remember them being that expensive.

Anyone recommend a budget supplier?


Thanks to both John and Andy.

Embarrassingly but fortunately the connector seems to have sprung back
into place and the connection is working again.

Of course, in fixing the RJ45 socket I've disturbed one of the co-ax
aerial connections sharing the same 2 gang face plate so I need to fix
that now.

SOP for DIY, unfortunately.


Cheers
