A cross over cable will allow the transmission of data from one pc to another with out the use of a hub / or router

however you can not just plug in a cross over cable and think it will work , because it will not . the tcpip settings on each pc's nic card will have to be set to a private IP scheme so each pc is able to communicate . and both then will need to be set in the same workgroup

Answer 2

Technically if both sides match exactly in either order the cable will work. The ends should not be different unless you are making a crossover cable.

As far as what color codes are "right" you can look at the following diagram. Like i said if they match, it should work but the following is considered a standard:

Answer 3

There are 2 standard color codes.  However you must properly look at the cable ends.

The A standard for straight cable is

pin      color

1    green white

2    green

3    orange white

4    blue

5    blue white

6    orange

7    brown white

8    brown

You see the same on both ends

The A standard for a cross cable is

pin    end 1              end 2

1       green white    orange white

2       green              orange

3       orange white  green white

4       blue                  blue

5       blue white        blue white

6       orange             green

7       brown white     brown white

8       brown               brown

The B standard differs from A in that you interchange the orange white for green white and orange for green.

The B standard is most common.

Answer 4

Left to right as you are looking down onto the end of the cable:

1st: Whit/Green

2nd: Green

3rd: White/Orange

4th: Blue

5th: White/Blue

6th: Orange

7th: White/Brown

8th: Brown

Ensure the locking clip is on the underside when fitting into plug, alway recheck prior to crimping.
