The cables seem OK -- they're all four-pair, and we've interchanged them and used quite a number of different ones. We do not have a full cable test set though, and have never verified that they work with full-duplex connections between any other pieces of equipment. However I think we can rule out cables when the switch still doesn't work in half-duplex mode. As for the switch ports, well they're very difficult to get wrong. There's a dip-switch to set full/half duplex, and a light on the monitor display to confirm what mode it's in. -- Greg A.
