Hi all,
Some of you are good with networks, I am not.
My question is about RJ45 connectors and Cat5/6 cables.
Today I was told on an online conference that when using a ping command, only 2 contacts out of 8 would be used. But printing a document with a network printer would require 6 contacts/strings.
To me this is hogwash, as it would in fact invalidate all ping tests, at least when testing the connection of a network printer.
Can someone enlighten me ?
