I think order does matter or at least the pairs match. I have had some hand made cables crap out due to "what ever wire straight through". You get "cross talk" across the pairs and wind up with weird issues. -----Original Message----- From: Nick White [mailto:nwhite@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 2:37 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Using RJ45 crimp tool Pin 1 is on the left if the "hook" is on the bottom. Like an earlier poster said, it really doesn't matter what color goes where, as it's the order that counts. The most common standard used these days (568B) is as Harold pointed out: 1 White-orange 2 Orange 3 White-green 4 Blue 5 White-blue 6 Green 7 White-brown 8 Brown It's also worth mentioning that if you want to make a crossover cable, just swap the orange and green pairs on 1 end of the cable. > -----Original Message----- > From: cajun [mailto:cajunlee@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 11:18 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Using RJ45 crimp tool > > > Harold Martin wrote: > > >Hello, > >Can anyone point mt toward a how-to on using an RJ45 crimp tool? > >Thanks, > >Harold > > > > > > > > > Hi Harold, > > I don't think there is any how to on that.
