I have a bad cable that I have been using on the Empeg. It gives me a link light on each end. The Cabletron works with it. How could that cable be bad.


Glad you found your problem.... Cables CAN give the link indicator lights, but still be wired wrong. You've got four wires that have to work to get a successful connection. Only 2 are required to get a link light.

I'm just curious how the Cabletron "Fixes" this. And for that matter, to refresh something you had said... WHY?

If my cable is bad, I don't want it to work. PERIOD. That means that I can replace it. Having the hub rewire internally is just some crap I don't want.

Anyways, congratulations, and make sure that cable gets tossed... Even cut in two, you might decide to try to re-use... I've had tech's that have done that... only to discover the problem was about 5 inchs from the plug....
