Post Body

There is a telephone expansion board with two CAT6 cables going into it and two loose cables with male connectors on it behind the networking panel in my apartment. The Internet tech plugged the loose cables into my modem since that was the most logical choice; the other two female connectors go to a board clearly labeled "telephone".

I later found that neither of the two Ethernet drops work in the apartment. I removed the outlet from the wall and matched the handwritten "A" and "B" cables there to the ones behind the networking panel. The tech wired the Ethernet drops to the telephone board and left the "telephone" cables as the loose male ends.

This seems backwards to me. Can anyone clarify why this is? Did the tech wire these backwards?
