Thanks for your comment!

John40ish Once you get a hang of it, then it's not too difficult. Glad you gave it a try.

John40ish It's great that you succeeded first try. I wish that the "whys" for doing straight through vs crossover would have been explained during the demonstration. For example, why flip colors? Not explained.

Thanks for sharing!

Exactly the feature is called auto-mdix in Cisco switches !

Thank you for your comment!

Good luck with your study!

Excellent to hear. Thanks for sharing!

Rick Regazzi crossover is for computer to computer or networking equipment that is similar ( majority of people would do straight through)

Glad my video was helpful.

Thanks for your comment.

+Joseph Jacob Happy to have helped!

Group A: Router - Host Group B: Switch - Hub When connecting two elements from the same group use cross-over, otherwise if you're connecting 2 elements from 2 different groups use straight through

Used when you have two 'like' similar devices, you would use xover cable (ex: from one computer to another), but now a days, many devices auto sense and switches for you.

+Scott Castille Crossover cable is used for similar devices. Like switch to switch, or router to pc(similar in the way they send data). A straight through cable is used for dissimilar devices like pc to switch. and router to switch. If the router you are talking about that you are connecting your pc to is what typically gets provided by the ISP you are actually connecting it to a switch. Most home routers just have a 4 or 5 pin switch built into the modem. In that case since its pc to switch it would be a straight-through cable.

+rhy Lasquite Yes that's correct.

yes u saying right so i agree with you

They're not wasted.They are reusable.

@@kellyash45 not if you crimp the wrong wire in the wrong pin. They dont just come out. You have to either cut the wire at the base of the terminal or crush the terminal itself and take the wires out.

How did you waste 200

💀💀

no way _💀_

Use an ethernet hub?

Angry Dergon thank you, I'll check that out.

I know this is 2 years old but I'll give my advice anyway on this unique application. I've never seen this application but if it's possible to split the pairs, as you can do in fast ethernet applications, which is what you might have for a guitar amp/floorboard connection transferring a small amount of data, you would make a "split, straight through cable", meaning you split the pairs but use a "straight through" pin out using two pairs for each connector and I'd label the cables near the mod ends "Amp 1" and "Amp 2". The orange and green pairs would be used for one mod end "Amp 1" and the other two, the blue and brown pairs would be used for the other mod end "Amp 2", thereby "splitting" your cable. Both ends would be terminated with the same pin out. Your orange and green pairs (O/W, W, G/W, G) land on pins 3, 4, 5 and 6 on one connector. Which color you put where does not matter as long as both ends are terminated the same, although you do want to make sure that only one color pair occupies pins 4 and 5 and pins 3 and 6 are occupied by the other color pair with the white wire landing on pin 3 so your pin out for the two mod ends of "Amp 1" will look like this on pins 3-6: W/O (pin 3), G (pin 4), W/G (pin 5), O (pin 6). The other mod end pin out would use the Blue (B) and Brown (Br) pairs in the same fashion as above for a pin out on "Amp 2" cable and will look like this: W/Br (pin 3), B (pin 4), W/B (pin 5), Br (pin 6). Let me know if you see this and try it and if it works for you in this application. Thanks!

Yes. As long as pairs 4 and 5 colors are reversed along the path, you're good. If it helps imagine two people trying to talk to each other. It works best when one person puts their mouth ( the outgoing port) up to the ear (the receiving port). One pair sends communications and the other receives communications so they need to be "coupled" so the sender is sending to a receiving port and not another sending port that cannot hear anything. This is the basic concept of a crossover cable.

Cross Cable for Similar devices and Straight Cable for different devices

If wire color match on both sides, the cable will work, but the standard is designed to have specific wire in a specific pin position to minimize noise. This is why they use twisted pair instead of untwisted.

From your switch all the way to your RJ45 wall plate, you wire it up straight through. So each connection will have the same color code and pinout.

The wires need to be in a specific order because there are Tx and Rx lines and the twisted pairs are put in a specific order to reduce EMI interference.

+Wes It does take practice, but you need to use your fingers to pull and straighten out each wire before lining them up. Move them around if you need to so each wire is not wrapped around another. Once you know they are straight and in order, then you cut to length and insert it (while still holding it down).

+dial2fast Okay, I'll give it another go. Thanks :)

This is one of the MANY reasons we get paid what we get paid. We have spent decades, usually, developing the education and skillset to be able to do what you cannot. Pay the man and thank him for his expertise and give him the respect he deserves and stop being a cheap skate whiner.
