How to make a Cat6 Crossover Cable

[themaskedfool]

Question, I'm about to buy a crossover cable for my xbox, will it still be able to connect to the internet or is it only able to connect 2 xboxes

[enyawix]

Technique is sloppy. You should pull the string to avoid using nicked pairs.

im trying to hookup up my xbox from the router do i use a straight or crossover?

i have a cat 6E 4 pair 23awg will this work it has a solid colour and a white for each pair no striped ends like im seeing on these videos

@whiteboy7890 You need a cat 5e network cable straight 568b or 568a, you can buy them at stores now in different lengths. Just ask for cat 5e cable some are up to 25 ft ready made. you do not need a crossover cable, and buy the way most networks now don't need a crossover cable they have what is called auto detect and the switch or hub or router does the conversion for you electronicly.

Thanks 21 years telecom!

Crossover isnt obsolete they r still a networking standard, use crossover if your connecting UNLIKE devices such as ROUTER to SWITCH .etc..etc..but for ROUTER to ROUTER or SWITCH to SWITCH then you use straight thru cable.

CAT6 crossover? is there any computer out there having gigabit network adapter and no auto-crossover detection? i thought crossover cables are obsolete already.

im pretty sure its L E D not led (like the silver stuff)

[shyrell1979]

WTF!!! the first color coding you said is, beginning from left is GREEN STRIPE, SOLID GREEN, ORANGE STRIPE, SOLID BLUE, BLUE STRIPE, SOLID ORANGE, BROWN STRIPE, SOLID BROWN ends on the left handside, and as far as i know, that’s the correct way of cat 6 crossover,after you cut and some BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,you change the fucking color coding???why it came as ORANGE STRIPE, SOLID ORANGE, GREEN STRIPE, SOLID BLUE, BLUE STRIPE, SOLID GREEN, BROWN STRIPE, SOLID BROWN?? WTF you are teaching a wrong way.

[mylab2]

@shyrell1979 he's not teaching the wrong way, he only forgot to mention that the cable has different color coding sequence on each end, if you have it with the same colors on both ends it is called straight through cable.

Do I need straight or crossover to hook my PS3 to my router? I tried making this but my laptop and ps3 both say no cable connected. What am I doing wrong?

[djjosemaster]

@BlitzDingo I did it just like you have it and worked great thanks.

[moctezuma112]

ok you lost me having solid green on the left... what comes next. and can you please have a list or a diagram on the screen so we can see better.

[skush123456]

no fear of cable nicks I guess ..Wonder why that string is in the cable????must be for nothing just an inconvience.

[G7130]

...No, its called a spine, it helps separate the pairs and keep the cable from being pinched or bent to much...

[skush123456]

Really that string seperates all those pairs huh . yeah and we wouldnt want the cables bent or pinched would we. Jeez dude I was being a smart ass the string is used for stripping the outer case so you dont have to use nicked wires when you make your termination.

[G7130]

Well, you almost have it...

T568A/B are simply the pin/pair assignments standard, they have nothing to do with the actual connector and this doesn't just apply to CAT 6/6A.

Secondly, RJ45 is used instead of 8P8C.

Your welcome.

very win

[m620]

It's not called a cat6 connector, it's an rj-45 connector.

[Kriegsphilosphier]

Cat 6 is a standard I suppose, like there are Cat 5 cables.

And they both are RJ-45's.

[SanctumViri]

if you want to be real technical,

cat6 and cat6a terminals are either T568A T568B

rj45 is a widely applied misnomer

[Kriegsphilosphier]

havent found out that much, im just a average joe :)
