However, I am having a problem with the RJ-45 plugs that I have (Ideal 85-346). Prior to making any cables, I tried one of the plugs in a Hub port. Fortunately, I tried it in Port 10, which I will not be using. The plug was tight and did not seem to fit properly and when I removed it, I could see that it had bent a couple of the contacts in the port. I cannot see any physical difference between the Ideal plugs and Outback plugs. I see that Ideal also offers an RJ-45 plug # 85-396. Does anyone know if there is a
difference in RJ-45 plugs and is there a specific one you use for Outback applications?</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Many Thanks,</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><span>Tom<br></span></div><div> </div><div>Tom DeBates<br>Habi-Tek<br>Geneva,IL. 60134<br> <br></div></div></body></html>
