[DR]

I have spent considerable time studying this how-to guide, and can confirm that the content is good.

*sigh* every cable I make doesn't work, and I have to keep coming back to this guide.

Oh well, I'll take a good look over the weekend and see what I come up with.

hehe we are of course talking about an rj45 type ethernet cable. The rj48c type cable is slightly different. its a good guide, i think i need to justify my time at work writing the rj48c one hehe..

What sort of cable does this make? RJ34C-22-34?

Look at this:

99% of normal patch cables (straight wired) are 586B to 586B - a crossover is simply 586A at one end and 586B at the other - refer to the diagram if this sounds confusing

I don't think people mind spending time to understand it

I've studied it a long time, just to make sure I get it right.

Damn fine cable you got there

Now I must spend considerable amounts of time studying it so I make crossover cables correctly from now on
