Converting Straight to cross over

[chmilz]

Hello all,

I need to convert a straight thru cable to a cross over.

Here is my wiring at each end:

WG, G, WO, Bl, WBl, O, WBr, Br

This is looking at the side WITHOUT the tab on it.

What would I have to change on the other end?


Thanks for all the help!

Hi Curtis,

You need to change one end to

WO, O, WG, BL, WBL, G, WB, BR

The standard on a straight through cable is actually the wiring code I have above and then you change one of the ends to the wiring code you wrote in your post... just some info.

But reguardless of the color code the trick is to swap 1 and 3 and swap 2 and 6 on one of the ends.
