gigabit crossover cable pinout
9 12 2009Ever had problems trying to get two network cards directly connect via that standard crossover cable at 1000Mbit/s speed? If yes – it’s most likely because your cable was made using 100BaseT standard – only orange and green pairs were crossed. For gigabit it’s a bit more tricky.
1000BaseT Crossover cable pinout:
| Pin | Connector #1 | Connector #2 |
| 1 | white/orange | white/green |
| 2 | orange | green |
| 3 | white/green | white/orange |
| 4 | blue | white/brown |
| 5 | white/blue | brown |
