so, i've been having some problems with the world's most troublesome 10M connection

i found the problem. after lots and lots and lots of testing.

The patch cable was bad.
So was the one we tried replacing it with.
So was the one we tried replacing that one with.
So was the one we tried replacing the third one with.
So was the one we tried replacing the fourth one with.
So was the one we tried replacing the fifth one with.
So was the one we tried replacing the sixth one with.

at that point, they didn't have any other ST/LC cables that were long enough for this patch.

SEVEN. SEVEN BAD CABLES.

most of which were still in their factory-sealed bags at the time.

the internet told me that microcenter had two in stock. i went there tonite, bought an ST/LC MMF cable, brought it to the data center, and the tech installed it.

I have my 10M link.

and now, i do believe i'm going to go home and have a drink. or possibly seven. one to toast each of the bad cables.
