Cross Cable

The RJ45 connector is the connector we use in the 10BaseT and 100BaseT standards to connect cables to network devices

I straightened the wires inside the cable following these colours from left to right:

Then I inserted the wires into the RJ-45 connector in the right order and I crimped it.

Same again with the other side but following colours shown in TIA/EIA 568B.

And you have your cross over cable Cat5e** ready to test.

**An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other. By contrast, patch cables or straight through cables are used to connect devices of different types, such as a computer to a network switch or Ethernet hub.
