Hi Brian,
I just wanted to thank you for your help and let you know that I have isolated the problem and the switch is working properly......It seems that I have damaged my connecters in the crimping process......For some reason, a few of them will not work with any other devices but when I insert them into the tester they read fine and pass......I am praying that the rest of the many cables I have installed are okay......It is true that you get what you pay for but who has 700 dollars for a good tester and hundreds more for the right tool in todays economy........I am sure there is something wrong with the crimper or connectors because I am quite capable of using tools that work..... Thank you again for your help.
