Crossover Cables
When making an uplink connection between one hub and
another (or between a hub and a switch or bridge) using X-
type jacks at both ends, you must use a crossover cable. In
a crossover cable, two pairs of wires are switched at one
end. Carry out the following steps to create a crossover
twisted-pair cable:
Leave one end of the cable as-is, with the wiring on
1.
the RJ-45 connector unchanged. The wiring needs to
be modified at one end only.
At the other end of the cable, connect wires 1 and 2
2.
to contacts 3 and 6, respectively. Likewise, connect
wires 3 and 6 to contacts 1 and 2. Refer to the
following diagram:
