guru, thanks for your reply, i'll check female pins on the amp & shortboard, when i look at the connectors side by side the wire color code is the same for both, is a crossover cable not for data or is it reverse wired from connector to connector or is that i need or should it be the same color code for both connectors, the problem cables are 25ft. in length; my shorter 10ft. cables work fine and my original line 6 works fine, thanks again for your help,

My original line 6 cat5 connecting cable works fine but locking tabs break off, i've tried aftermarket Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables but they are causing both my spider valve combo and my HD100 head to loose signal completely, the amp itself stays on but no sound comes out, what is difference or problem using aftermarket cat5 cat5e cables, do i need to use Cat 6, it's definitely only the cable itself, thanks in advance for any & all help, jeff coda
