5++ in 1 Multi-Cable

Step 2 Create the Mini-Crossover

To make a regular straight through ethernet cable into a crossover we will create a mini cable a couple inches long to flip the nessicary wires and add it to the regular cable with the couple. The first thing to do is strip the outer shielding and crimp on the RJ45 plug with the following connections:

SIDE 1
RJ45 Pin1: white-orange
RJ45 Pin2: orange
RJ45 Pin3: white-green
RJ45 Pin4: blue
RJ45 Pin5: white-blue
RJ45 Pin6: green
RJ45 Pin7: white-brown
RJ45 Pin8: brown

SIDE 2
RJ45 Pin1: white-green
RJ45 Pin2: green
RJ45 Pin3: white-orange
RJ45 Pin4: white-brown
RJ45 Pin5: brown
RJ45 Pin6: orange
RJ45 Pin7: blue
RJ45 Pin8: white-blue

The RJ45 pins are numbered from left to right if you are looking at the bottom (the side without the tab) of the connector with the tip pointing up.
