CAT 5 is 8 wires (4pair), Ethernet uses only wires
1,2,3,6 , but they have to be in the right series. I'm
bad at pairs, but a normal cable is wired
ONE END THe OTHER END
1 orange-white ---> green-white
2 Orange ---------> green
3 Green-white ----> orange-white
4 Blue-white -----> blue-white
5 Blue -----------> blue
6 Green ----------> orange
7 Brown-white-----> brown-white
8 Brown ----------> brown
So a CAT 5 cross over.. you would swap the Orange and
Green pairs this is what I use in my home right now and
everyday at work I KNOW this works. Good luck
