The problem
Loose connectors, poor termination and damaged cables can create random network failures.
Recommended approach
Test the physical layer first using a cable tester and inspect patch panels, keystones and switch ports.
Step-by-step checklist
- Test the cable end-to-end.
- Check link speed and duplex.
- Swap patch leads.
- Test another switch port.
- Re-terminate or replace the cable if the fault follows it.
