Comment on How a bad RJ45 termination can ruin a cableparentComments−Dylan1680711yWait, what did the person you argued with do wrong? I don't understand.−function_seven11yI think by "straight through" he meant that the ends were wired with pairs on 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8, instead of the correct 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, 7/8.−rdl11yExactly. I meant "rollover" I think. That kind of cable is used for console cables for some systems, but not for high speed data networking.(Not straight vs crossover)
