my dog bite threw an ethernet cable outside... iknow i have to cut the ripped parts off but how would i connect the two.. is there's some type of cable i need or some type of box that both ends of that ethernet cable go in to?

@foxbhoy288 A straight through cable uses the same standard on both ends (T568A or T568B, doesn't matter), a crossover cable uses T568A on one end and T568B on the other end.

It's best to stick to one standard for straight through cables throughout the installation so that if you're looking at network equipment with hundreds of cables and you see a cable using a different standard, then you know it's a crossover cable without having to trace the cable to look at the other end.

ViewDo I watched so many vids about how to do this. All of them told you the color order, but NONE told you WHICH WAY to put that order into the RJ45. Does it simply not matter to the electronics you're using, as long as you do both ends of the same cable identical?
