You make crossover cables by wiring AT&T-568-A on one end, and AT&T-568-B on the other end (assuming you use the AT&T standards to begin with :-))... here's the color codes. AT&T-568-A Pins 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Colors WG G WO Bl WBl O WBr Br AT&T-568-B Pins 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Colors WO O WG Bl WBl G WBr Br (568-B is the wiring standard all of our buildings follow) Color Legend WO: White-Orange O: Orange WG: White-Green G: Green WBl: White-Blue Bl: Blue WBr: White-Brown Br: Brown While looking at the connector, with the cable coming down out of the connector, and the gold pins facing you, pin 1 is on the left. This all just came from memory, so hopefully they are correct.. Basically, as long as you reverse pairs 1-2 and 3-6, observing polarity (electrically, that is), you've got a crossover cable. --- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@tri-lakes.net --- Powered by FreeBSD, the best free OS on the planet. ---- (http://www.freebsd.org)
