Was it straight or crossover?

Anyway,

Please make a difference between cables for the G703 interface and for ,let's say, common LAN or Cisco usage.

Cables for G703 interfaces use pairs 1-2 and 4-5 , the other ones like said above 1-2 and 3-6.

Greetz,

Lebb,

For your info, if you're interested in some standards...

On the bottom of the page there's a wiring scheme

Greetz,

basically, straight cable is for when you are connecting to another computer, through a device. ie, a router etc. a cross over cable is used when connecting directly to another computer. (LAN)

this difference is that on a straight cable, at one end, the first pin leads to the last pin on the other end. with a crossover, the first pin leads to the first pin at the other end. just the way the computers/devices are designed.

[XTC46]

national straight code is wight green/ green/ white orange/ blue/ white blue/ orange/ white brown/ brown

We use 568B at work and use 568A for the crossover end. That is how I have seen it most everywhere i have been.
There is only 2 standards and B is the most popular to use. No National standard.

The cable i made is crossover, so it's set up the way I wrote up above.
