I run a cable from a router for around 100m outside to a caravan.
It has been in place for a couple years no problem.
Half of it is between telegraph poles and the other half is overground in a plastic water pipe.
Suddenly stopped receiving signal from the router, so we changed the 2 plugs on the end - no difference.
Then made up a connector which joins wires 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 and 7 +8 and plugged it into one end of the wire.
Came back to the other end and ran an ohms meter between 1+2 etc and got an average reading of 84ohms
Tried the same measurement on a 100m of new cable and got a reading of 17ohms.
What does this mean ?
