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?

TIA

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

I was going to say give the jammed up wire contact a gentle poke,
it'll unjam and the problem solved.

I have just bought some of these, on the recommendation of the team.

Probably a dumb question, but how is the cable tie supposed to work?

Thanks

Scratch that, I've worked it out. The slot under the concave cable moulding
was hiding from me (and others).

Friday afternoon...

Yup, cable in from the side, lay it in the trough, and cable tie under
the trough and over the cable.

Yeah - I just couldn't see that you could go *under* the trough; I was looking for a couple of holes or similar.

The IT dept. at work were similarly stumped, but I guess they wanted to go home as well...
