Ethernet 10BaseT or 100BaseT Crossover Cable

Purchase your crossover cable direct from GCC.

Here are instructions for building an Ethernet 10BaseT or 100BaseT crossover cable.

The pinouts for an Ethernet crossover cable are as follows:

Connector 1 Pinout	Connector 2 Pinout
1	3
2	6
3	1
4	OPEN
5	OPEN
6	2
7	OPEN
8	OPEN

These instructions can also be used to purchase an Ethernet crossover cable to network your computer and printer together. Don't just buy any RJ-45 cable; the internal pinout for a crossover cable is different from the pinout of an RJ-45 cable normally used in Ethernet. Make sure the packaging is clearly labeled "crossover cable", or have someone create the cable for you.

GCC has a great deal on crossover cables.
