How to make crossover cable

How to make crossover cable


Crossover cable is one of solution for connecting two computers without assistance Switch/Hub. But if you want to connect more than two computers you have to use Switch/hub as the terminal. In this case I want to try giving the way to make Crossover cable for connecting two computers. These are the way :
First
Prepare UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) that will be used to make Crossover cable, adjust the length with your needs, Open the cable cover then set according to color composition below :

 

If the colors above is not so clear, you can follow the table arrangement color below:

Second
Prepare RJ45 connector to be plugged at the both end of the cable and Crimping tool to clamp RJ45 connector in order to stick at both end of the cable. Confirm both end of the cable right touch then clamp using crimping tool in order to get maximum result.

Third
If you have Cable tester for LAN (Local Area Network), it would be nice to test first but if you havent just plug it into LAN Card, if the cable work/connect  it means the cable is OK but if the cable does not connect may you need to check the cable again until really can be used.

hopefully useful.............
