LAN/WAN network building: test and know how to locate your cabling

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/04

I have seen too many sites where cabling was laid en never tested before actual use, which meant locating the cabling and faults was a nightmare.

Be sure to have good (which can be very simple, but more complex when Power over Ethernet is involved) testing hardware and use it during installation. You will thank yourself later.

A few videos that can be helpful:

[Wayback/Archive] Jeffrey | JKCTech on X: “Dit is echt 1 van de aller mooiste edge cases voor een licht sensor die ik ooit heb gezien… “

It references a movie by Dutch humor site (often on the wrong side of humor) Dumpert:

[Wayback/Archive] DUMPERT – Ambulance naast lichtsensor flat =

which they also put on YouTube: [Wayback/Archive] Ambulance + lichtsensor = flatrave! #shorts – YouTube.

It teaches to adjust the light sensors so they don’t kick in turning the light off too soon after it gets dark.
