all I need it for is patch cables... and telephone cables. Why doesn&#39;t crosstalk affect the telephone signal?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 12:50 PM, Technomage <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:technomage.hawke@gmail.com">technomage.hawke@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

&gt; I got some phone cable (green &amp; red/yellow &amp; black). Could I use it for<br>
&gt; ethernet cable (blue, green, orange, brown)? Which pins would I connect it<br>
&gt; to if so? I would think red would go to dark blue and and green to<br>
&gt; light/striped blue. then bablesxlack would  go to dark green  and yellow to to<br>
&gt; light/striped green. I&#39;m hoping that it is like a phone where two of the<br>
&gt; lines are used and the other two are useless. Let me know!  Thanks<br>

</div></div>A: no. Phone cable is typically cat-3 quality. the windings are<br>
different and bandwidth far less.<br>
you might get away with using it as a 3 foot patch cord, but the<br>
creosstalk you&#39;d get would<br>
cut throughput enormously.<br>
