Yeah very handy. You can also use a crossover as a straight through 
now... the Macs know to reverse them.

both connectors must be wired in the exact same order. Keeping the

straight is nice, but not required. Just make sure pin 1 is wired to 
pin 1,
pin 2 to pin 2 and so on.

The crossover cable (direct connect, computer to computer) is a 
different
animal altogether and I won't pretend to remember how that works. 
I've made
just one of them in over 15 years.

the above sequence is like mine, with the proviso that
it is reading left to right with the 'tang' away from
you and the cable end pointing down



, but as long as you
 make both sides the 
 same, should not matter
8
It's true, it wouldn't matter for that use, but if it
were put in in the reverse order, a tech looking at
one end might think it was a crossover cable, not
checking the other end.
And if it was just put together in any old order, a
tech who noticed the scramble would have to examine
the other end minutely to see that it would work for a
regular (non-crossover and correctly constructed)
ethernet cable. 

There's something to be said for consistency...though
what, I don't know.
