This might be nitpicky, but as I understand it, color order does matter due to the use of the twisted pairs. The pairs are twisted to compensate for the spin of the energy moving through the cables, lessening the occurrence of cross talk. The popular standards consider the use of the pairs in such a manner.
Inventing your own color pattern will cause a degradation of performance. -----Original Message----- From: Nick White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 2:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 11:18 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 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.
