Yes, and make both sides match. Look up EIA/TIA T568A/B standards. Just have to make sure as if you reverse green and orange on one side, you make a crossover, but colors are used somewhat interchangeably for straight-through cables as long as they match. Keep the pairs as twisted and sheathed inside the rj45 as much as possible when you crimp, otherwise you get interference that equals errors. -mb On 02/10/2013 11:03 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > so is this correct? > > stripe orange,orange > stripe green,blue > stripe blue,green > stripe brown,brown > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > > On Sun, Feb 10, 2013 at 10:59 PM, Brian Cluff > wrote: > > That's definetely not standard, but at least it looks like you have > kept the color pairs together, so you wouldn't have one side of a > connection on one pair and the other on a different pair. > A Cable wired with what you have been doing should work OK.
