But at least it worked :rolleyes:

I wish there was a simple explanation as to why twisted pairs work, especially as I read they are not twisted to the same extent (twists per inch) that is odd.

There's an page here that explains it reasonably well https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/some-interesting-twists-about-ethernet-cabling/

If you split pairs you’re going to have a bad time. They don’t put the twists in for fun.
