    Converting Cables

    Can anyone tell me the easiest way to convert a cat 5e crossover cable to make it a straight ? I have 2 PCs networked & am introducing a router & need to covert the cable without having to rewire it if possible.

    Re: Converting Cables

    If you were to make a straight through cable, you obviously would make it the same both ends. In fact, it doesn’t matter which colours are used on each pin but we’re sticking to standards and good practice! You can watch a video here showing how to make a Cat5e Patch Cable Straight Or Crossover.
