Hello, I have installed 5 Cat7 network cables in the house. They all start at a patch panel and then go to the network outlets.
The problem now is that one of them doesn't work. I have already replaced the outlet once and connected it to a different port on the patch panel. Each time, the tester shows that channel 8 is not working.
How can I identify the cause here?

5 network cables with 8 conductors each provide 80 termination points. The likelihood that the (multiple) terminations are causing the issue... hmm. Twisted pairs can also be identified using a tester. I’m more inclined to suspect a cable defect. But you’re right, if conductor 8 is damaged, 100 Mbit should still work – since pairs 1, 2, 3, and 6 are required for that.
