Dear Kevin, That would most likely be bad punch-down. Just get back to this jack and/or port on the patch panel and re-punch it. This is of course assuming that the tool was calibrated lately because miscalibration also tends to produce such little deviations from normal. Sincerely, Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
