  • Why do you tell us the order of the wires? As long as they match on both ends it doesn't matter what color order they are in...

  • THe order of the wires is important for consistency. When you make a crossover, it helps to remember which wires to cross, and it avoids confusion when you have to make more than ten of these (which is a frequent occurance for network administrators and other PC technicians.) HOWEVER, you are correct, the color of the wire does not effect it's conductability.

  • can these straight through cables work on xbox 360 for xbox live????

  • Again, sorry I take so long to respond... Yes, it will work with the Xbox, as the Xbox is actually a computer.

  • Will it work if i combine two ethernet cables together?

  • Sorry I take so long to respond to comments... I don't check that email address often. Yes, but it is not recommended as it leaves one more area for error or malfunction.

  • i tried it it worked thanks!!!!!!!!

  • wow that looks hard im trying to find a 70m ethernet cable for my xbox live any ideas where i can buy one? (in england)

  • Regarding nots, Is it mean that each end had a different sort?

  • Can u ell me the color set?

  • Thank you very much for this, saved me quite a bit of money (cable by the foot + crimpers) compared to buying long premade ones.

  • actually that last part is wrong. it also matters because of the the way the wires twist in the cable. if you put opposing wires in a pair it reduces distance and speed
