HI
I've been trying to fix a problem on a sky system in a block of apartments.
There's 32 cables going to 16 flats from 2 multiswitches but unfortunately the plates only have one sky feed on them, although the other cable was tucked inside the box behind the plate in the apartment. Unfortunately my sat meter isn't showing any signal on the cable, although the one connected to the plate is fine. I've traced the cable on the multiswitch and checked signal on all legs and it reads fine, I've also tried a new triax multiswitch and that reads fine but still no signal on the cable behind the plate. However, when I sound the cable out it's beeping but when it's connected to something at the other end the sounder doesn't light up, almost as if it's not connected to anything.
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice to try and get to the bottom of the problem.
