5++ in 1 Multi-Cable

Step 3 Make the Cisco Adapter

This cable is made the way as the crossover with this pin configuration:

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

Since it would be hard to tell this cable from the crossover it is nice to use another color cable, I did not have any other colors on hand so mine met Mr. Sharpe.

Cisco Rollover (console) cables are wired as follows: 1 - 8, 2 - 7, 3 - 6, 4 - 5, 5 - 4, 6 - 3, 7 - 2, 8 - 1 Therefore, if you're adapting from a straight through, I believe that your adapter should be wired like this: End 1: White-Orange Orange White-Green Blue White-Blue Green White-Brown Brown End 2: Brown White-Brown Green White-Blue Blue White-Green Orange White-Orange I did something quite similar for myself to reduce the number of cables I need to carry when I go to sitesbut with just a red crossover adapter and a blue rollover adapter.
