Talk about off-topic posts...I'm getting so much spam these days, and I look in my RedHat folder and there's like 20+ posts on using a crimping tool. Stop the madness!Use of the tool...... When you put the wires into the RJ-45 cap, you then insert the cable with cap on it into the squisher part of the crimper. It should only fit one way. Crossover, is where the cable goes out on friday with a big wig..... Or when you need to connect two computers without a router. It crosses the in and out cables, so the in of one, is the in of another. The pairs on a crossover will be DIFFERENT on both sides of the cable. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Martin [mailto:cocoadev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 4:22 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Using RJ45 crimp tool Whew! I think I understand the ordering of the wires now, but I still have two questions: 1. How to actually *use* the tool itself 2. (kinda stupid, I know) what is the diff between crossover and patch cables and when should either be used? I really appreciate all your help.

With that pin-out the T/R pin are twisted together and the A1/A2 pins are twisted together so you get a better Common Mode Noise Rejection which makes it suitable for Telco or Network (<= 100Mb/s). But I do believe the TIA568A (see 568B for cross over) standard colors are: 1 White Green (Ether TX+ 1) 2 Green (Ether TX- 2) 3 White Orange (RX+ 3 / Telco A1) 4 Blue (Telco TIP) 5 White Blue (Telco Ring) 6 Orange (Ether- 6 / Telco A2) 7 White Borwn 8 Borwn -- Chris On Fri, 2003-10-03 at 13:38, Jason Staudenmayer wrote: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, HaroldHi Harold, I don't think there is any how to on that. What are you needing to know exactly? Or you needing to know the pin out for the wiring? If so here is what I have always used: Pin No. Strand Color 1 white & orange 2 orange 3 white & green 4 blue 5 white & blue 6 green 7 white & brown 8 brown HTH!!

This is the kind of question which google was made for...use google.
One or two answers to the poster (pointing them to a book or other newsgroup/etc.) and I'm fine...not a peep. I won't chastise a single post and one or two replies...but jeez. This topic needs to go somewhere else...telco? offline?
If it were related to crimpingpolishing fiber, I'd understand the # of posts, but for cat5??!?!?! I wish my on-topic posts received this kind of attention.
Where's jason when you need him!
