I have had two RCDD's out there with not much luck. The one suggestion was to home run a CAT 3 from the PBX to the head end of the outdoor cable to eliminate as many cross connection as possible. Will be trying that on Thursday and wil let you all know..

If anyone is still following this saga here is latest update. I ran a CAT 3 home run from the head end of the outdoor cable to the PBX and now the phone seems to be functioning properly with the correct display and no hang up although there is still alot of static on the remote building end. When we make a test call the other end is crytal clear.
Any thoughts on the static?
Thanks all!!
John

Update. I removed the connection between the inside wiring and the outside wiring and I get a ton of noise on by probe. Remember I ran a new CAT 3 home run to the phone room.
Based on this noise should I run sheiled? Suggestions.
At least I know the noise is coming from inside the plant now and not on the outside wire run....

you really need to turn this over to someone who can straighten this out .. see if you can get somebody who will let you work with them and pick up some tips .
shielded cable would be the last thing I would do at this point
put the probe away , what happens when you hook a phone up at the end of the cat 3 cable ?
noisy or clear ?

Here is an idea.
Go out and pull the ground off one side. After you do that. On the side you pulled your ground off. Put your multi meter on the ground point and the other end on the shieth of the cable. Find out what your resistance is. If it is more than about 5 ohms then you have a shieth grounding problem which can cause noise interference.
The noise that you are getting on your probe in the shop is probably just some power interference on your probe.

Alright everyone. I'm not sure if anyone is still following this but wanted to give eeryone the good new that I have this working. How, you may ask? I pulled out the PE89 and pulled in direct burial CAT 5e. Works like a champ!!! All protection is in place, primary and secondary. Phone is crystal clear. My conclusion is that I used the wrong cable and that the lack of twists in the pe89 did me in..Anyways, thanks to everyone who helped and if can ever help in return don't hesistate to get a hold of me!! Cheers, John Franklin

Thanks for letting us know you got it working. However I doubt it was the type of cable that was your problem. It's the bottom line that counts so congratulations. :thumb:
