I made up two ethernet cat 6 cables for internet access. On my internet service provider's plan the d/L speed should be at 300mbs. Both my ethernet cables are showing a through put of 94 d/l from the router to the other end of the cable. The network provider has checked the router. It is able to supply 300d/l. Using commercially produced ethernet cables running from the router to his tester the network supplier's engineer has just told me the full 300Mbs speed is being transmitted.
When I crimped the rj-45s I checked the cabling was correct using an RJ45 cable continuity testor. Today I checked it again. Each strand is correctly connected at each end as each strand has continuity to the corresponding pin on the RJ-45..
I did not follow the standard cabling colour scheme, but ensured that each colour goes to the same position on both RJ45's and the tester confirms I did it correctly.
What do you suggest is the reason for the restricted speed on the two cables I made?
