minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoBlue in the middle is pair 1. Orange around that is pair 2. Green on the left, brown to the right. CC-B-AA-B-DD. Pair A is for telephone back when Ethernet was wired to a punch down block. Pair B and C are for data. Swap b and c on one end for crossover. The fourth pair is basically useless.
minus-squaresimpleslipeagle@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 months agoUseless for 10/100. If you want gig you need the 4th pair.
minus-squareulterno@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoSo, useless for home internet, but useful if you want to use your PC VM on your laptop
