Why not just use a regular ML cable?
Plug in the ML connector to the converter and run the ML cable (without the ML plug) to the junction box and mount the wires there just like the other ends are.

You are right, usually I should change the cable. However the cable is in the wall which is plastered. I will measure the wires at the end of the ML plug and check if pin 3 and 12 are connected.

Guys, unbelievable, I found the issue. Thanks again for the hint with the newest version of the Beolink Handbook v1.9.
I referred to the v1.5 handbook which I have saved a couple of years ago on my computer.

The RJ45 / masterlink pin occupation is on the RJ45 side wrong described. See the attached picture.

After I have changed the sequence all my problems are solved. The BL 3500 is working and my ML/NL BLC is working perfectly.
