Re: DSL problem


Uhh, it is CAT5 or better wire, right?
Replace one at the 50' point & see if it'll work there.  I'm betting on
something wrong with the wires.  REgular phone cable will never work
over 100'.

Like I said, I did a loopback test of over 900 feet of regular 100
pair Cat 3 riser cable: From where it comes into the main building in
Ma Bells' frame closet, 450 feet away to the communicaton closet right
before it leaves the building to go out to the trailer, then looped
back 450 feet to Ma Bells frame again. It works. Distance is not the
issue.

You said the modem was in the building and you're running 6 pairs 100'?
Why?  Better to have the modem in the trailer.  Assuming you really mean
"modem".  What is your "modem"?  Why do you think 100' isn't too far
away?  What kind if wire is used to/from the modem in/out? Are you using
the shielded type wires?  Are you ignoring the ground pins or using
them?  Etc..- Hide quoted text -

The outdoor cable is called "Alpath". It is basically a rigid 6 pair
outdoor cable in thick jacket filled with silicone.
The modem I am trying to get working is in the trailer. It looks
basically like a broadband modem with wireless capability.
What I said was I tried out the modem box in the main building and it
works.
