This is the split system from Cidatech. I have encountered this again and again with customers.

It is possible because only 4 PINs are connected and the link with the MC220L is not working.

Ev. A specialist shop near you can convert this (crap) to a gigabit network.

There has been a lot of discussion here in the forum about these stupid split systems, just to save a few francs.

The customer thinks he has received new, modern cabling. New but not modern.

The GigaBit standard was introduced in 1999.

Too bad! Was hoping for the auto-neogotiation mode switch on the media converter (100Mb half or full??)…

All the purchase and effort for nothing!

Greetings and thank you for the help

Does your converter have this switch? I have one with me that doesn’t have that. The Force and Auto do not refer to the CU Ethernet port.

So the Zydatech product still has an advantage. The connection cable is 8 cores. In principle, all you need is another connection module in the room. It’s even pluggable! And then a normal patch cable in the distributor.
Theoretically, the system is even suitable for laypeople.

@cypherpunks you can also easily build a gigabit connection from this installation.

2. Plug the split cable into the Cidatech socket and you have a gigabit connection again.

Hello everyone

I have the same problem as Marc, that the IB2 doesn’t work. I also have Cisco and TP from Digitec… but now when I connect my old IB Boxa, no problem, it works great. anyone have an idea????

So first router on chair under the box then Dialink pulled in! Works wonderfully and router in the living room thanks to the empty cable that was inserted during construction! Of course not SC as a provider! Don’t pay double! The provider is called F………….ch!

greetings

I’m currently moving into a new apartment (built in 2015) where the entire house network has already been installed. There are six slots in the closet for Ethernet ports, although only four of them are actually connected. In the rooms where the other end comes out, in addition to the Ethernet Anschluss, there is also a second Anschluss (no RJ45) in the same module.

As far as I understand now, I would just have to replace these modules with the following so that I have Gigabit:

Now Swisscom has made some nice instructions on how you can/could get around the problem with the router in the closet: https://www.swisscom.ch/de/privatkunden/hilfe/loesung/adaptation-an-der-heimverkabelung.html

It’s just stupid that for this application two Ethernet ports have to come out of the wall (i.e. would be forced to 100MBit connections) which means that any Internet bandwidth over 100MBit would be absolutely pointless in this setup.

Am I correct that in this case only laying a second Ethernet cable to the “socket” and manually connecting each of the 8 wires to a LAN/LAN module would help?

Yep, that’s right. The easiest way will probably be to use the existing network cable as a pull-in cable for the two new network cables (i.e. attach the two new network cables to one end of the existing cable and then work in pairs, one pulling on the old cable and the other pushing on the two new cables, pull through). Normally 2 network cables fit well into the inserted pipes. And then of course attach an RJ45 connector to both cables at both ends 😉

@Klingo

This setup is also problematic with smaller Internet bandwidths because speed and/or duplex mismatches often occur when devices with Giga Ethernet ports are only connected with 4 wires.

Can I also use this SFP adapter instead of the Cisco?

Is your question about Swisscom’s proposal for adapted network cabling with a fiber optic connection and media converter?

If yes, then
