    I think that there is enough polemics on this subject!
    The topic appears at least once a week and apart from punching the posts, it doesn't really make any sense!
    The situation does not look normal, but no exaggeration, buddy!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around troubleshooting a LAN cable connection issue where a crossover cable only supports 10Mbps but fails at 100Mbps. Users suggest various methods to check the cable without mechanical tools, including using an ohmmeter to test continuity by shorting wires at one end. They also recommend specialized cable testers that can identify breaks, short circuits, and swapped wires. The author expresses confusion over the cable's performance and the correct wiring configuration, leading to discussions about the importance of using the correct color pairs in RJ45 connectors. Ultimately, it is suggested that if the cable is correctly crimped and still does not work at 100Mbps, the cable itself may be faulty, and replacing it could resolve the issue.
