Cat5 spurs wired.?

[MrT1981]

So basically I have 1 cat5 point wired in cat5 cable and have soured this of 1st cat5 point which is fed from my rooter. Works at 1st point but not at 2nd I have tested cable all ok just can't get hard wired signal at 2nd spur help!!!!

If your ethernet cable is a Y split, it won't work if more than one device is plugged in.

From my router into my 1st cat5 point? There's nothing plugged into other cat5 points just 3rd spur were t.v is? But won't work as you say. But if I plug in to my 2nd point on other side of room works fine but I don't want my t.v there. Thanks for this help as my builder and electrician are at a loss!

Without knowing how they wired it, it is hard to diagnose from out here.
But visualize this:
Disregarding any junctions/plates/spurs/whatever....is there a single straight line from the TV to a single port on the router? And nothing else connected to that same port on the router?

Router is in cupboard were phone line comes in. We're 1st point cat5 point was wired then spurs 2 more cat5 point to were my t.v is then t.v plugs into 3rd cat 5 port but nothing happening plug into 2nd on other side of room works like a dream but don't want my t.v there

I would suspect that 3rd Cat5 port is wired incorrectly. It is easy to do. Has the electrician used a cable tester?

Yes and all the lights glow up 1 to 8 to say cables fine? The only thing I can think of is faulty cat5 point?

Well, something is faulty.

I even run a fly lead from back cat5 2 plate to t.v but no joy but works if I plug Ethernet cable in to socket of cat5 2 to the t.v it works

This sounds like incredibly shoddy wiring. You should have 3 separate cables running to the router or a switch.

Yeh but kind of my fault as room was already plastered and changed my mind last miniute so can't blame them. But if the 1st to work surely the 3rd should?

This isn't how you should wire the building, and it's bad on the electrician who did this, even if you changed your mind. The first point is a "clean point", it should work if the electrician can properly wire a cable. The second and third are "dirty points", poor splicing, improper wiring, all could be reasons for the third point to fail.

Exactly. Each room should be one and only one physical wire back to a common point.

Fair enough
Thanks for your help

As said...something isn't wired right.

But it shud work if connections are right? Mayb not the best way or the proper way but it should work as there basically just spurs ( joint box) to my 3rd cat5 point?

If, from each of the 8 wires in the junction box and Cat5 cable, there is a verified solid connection to the corresponding wire at the router end....it should work.

Unless there is some other major weirdness going on. "Spurs" and "junction points" twig my 'something is not quite right' sense.

Single wire from each wall port back to a central spot.
