Hello, I’m trying to connect a Gigablox to your PoEblox with a molex 1:1 picoblade wire assembly. Unfortunately there is no communication between to the two.

Here is the wire assembly I’m using.

> **[Power and Signal Cable Assemblies Part - 151340802 | Molex](https://www.molex.com/en-us/products/part-detail/151340802)**
>
> PicoBlade Female-to-PicoBlade Female Off-the-Shelf (OTS) Cable Assembly, Single Row, 150.00mm Length, 8 Circuits, Natural

Is there something I’m overlooking?

That cable you’re using, I believe it maps pin 1 to pin 8

This would reverse the pin order. It needs to map 1-1, 2-2 and so on.

Okay, so I need to pull the wires and reverse them on one of the connectors. I’ll try that.
