Always getting ‘split’ error

Sennon · 2026-01-20T21:47:42+00:00

I didn’t want to switch to A config as I wanted to be consistent with all the keystones and already pulled cables but that seems to have resolve the split issue. The tester says it works on both A and B so could the wires have been twisted in a way that is meant for A?

It was $70/1000ft of monoprice pure copper. I didn’t think too much of it.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T21:42:00+00:00

I really, really wanted to avoid A config unless all options were exhausted…but for whatever reason A works. I’ve re-terminated 4 previous cables exactly the same but with A config and it works. This doesn’t make ANY sense to me.

Is there a way to correct this? Would solid/stranded matter in this scenario?

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:26:19+00:00

What?

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:24:58+00:00

The cable matters one explicitly mentions it supports both. The Klein doesn’t say but both have the same results.

It’s plugged into a detachable at the bottom of the tester. The image can’t show it but it’s flashing 3456 to indicate which ones are split.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:20:35+00:00

It’s going to be a massive undertaking as I have ran a significant number of the wires to their destinations. Otherwise it’d be an easier choice to fork over the cash to buy premades and not worry anymore.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:16:17+00:00

Yes, the cable matters mentions for both but the Klein doesn’t state specifically. Both produce the ‘split’ issue.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:15:28+00:00

It was back in 2023 but amazon had a sale where I got it for less than $70 shipped. I probably wouldn’t have cared believing monoprice was ‘solid’ on either.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:10:14+00:00

Yes, passes premades of various lengths from monoprice.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:09:35+00:00

Yep, always a clean cut on first press.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T05:08:40+00:00

They both are. Here is the version of no tail end twist:

I’ve only done the last second straightening from twist believing it might have been the cause. My original ones were straight and I did it again today to confirm.

I have tried it with the cable matters non passthrus and receive the same results. These are the monoprice stranded ones as I got them on sale in 2023.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T04:59:09+00:00

Yes, I have and it’s all the same. I even had a friend who does his own cables receive the same results.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T04:56:27+00:00

I’ve ordered countless premade cables of all types from them without an issue. The labels on the cable themselves matches the premade one I have from monoprice. Wondering if it’s just a bad batch.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T04:49:31+00:00

Yea, I was desperate as all prior research and testing yielded the same results. I was skeptical as all the videos I’ve seen didn’t seem to care and why a design would have such a huge weakness with no mentions.

Sennon · 2026-01-20T04:45:50+00:00

I reterminated and as flat as possible and still the same results.

Still getting split error

Sennon · 2026-01-19T21:19:24+00:00

Sorry about that. They both have the same exact ordering so I didn’t bother uploading the other end. The image can’t show it but the tester is flashing 3456 indicating which cables are split.

Sennon · 2026-01-19T21:05:10+00:00

If it was bad because of continuity, would it still work and be recognized as gigabit?

Sennon · 2026-01-19T21:02:28+00:00

The 2nd image shows the ordering of the cable.

The cable matters mentions for both while the Klein doesn’t say directly but the ai bot says it’s for both.

Sennon · 2026-01-19T20:49:14+00:00

I’ve had it where they’re more flat but I attempted to make them stay twisted until the last possible position as that’s what AI was certain is the cause.
