Cat6 pin out and issues

by fastroads . Updated 6 years ago

I have replaced Cat5e and pulled Cat6 cable throughout my house.

I installed a few extra wall ports so we could hard wire game consoles etc. The issue seems to be that when checking the ports and corresponding patch panel port I’m getting a failure for pairs 1 and 2.

I’m using all new Cat6 patch cables and have re-punched the ports and patch panel several times. I’m using a Klein Scout Pro 2 to test and every port shows:

12345678 with the 1 and 2 blinking.
345678 I could understand one port, but multiples are a head scratcher.

Btw: if this is not the right question for this forum please simply respond and I will delete and move on. I’m not an IT specialist, just a normal guy.
Thank you
