Anecdote of a networking class (Marcos Samuel)

 Hello, I'm going to tell you a curious thing that happened to me during my first year at Puenteuropa, a professional training center. It was a very fun day for me because we were going to have a class on networks and we were going to climb up some ethernet cables for the first time.


Being the clumsy person that I am, I plugged in the RJ45 cable in both ends. When it came time to insert it into the NIC interface on the computer and seeing that there was no network, I thought I had made a mistake with the color order and immediately tried to remove the cable from the NIC.

RJ45

NIC interface

I saw that it wouldn't come out and it was very hard to pull on it, so to avoid making a bigger mess, I called Juan Carlos and he saw that the RJ45 connected to the NIC was stuck for some reason, and then he called Roberto and he saw that the RJ45 I had previously climbed up was defective from the factory, I think the cause was that the pins on the RJ45 were one on top of the other or something like that.


In conclusion, I broke a network card or that's what I think. Since that day, I pay close attention to what I buy so that it doesn't have any defects. And finally, I felt a little bad for breaking that. (I don't know if Roberto was able to fix the network card, let's hope so).
