You can use a regular CAT5 cable to make a crossover.
1. Straight Patch - This is the regular cable.
2. Crossover Patch – If need to buy it, you have to ask specifically for it.
The plugs (RJ-45) at either end can be connected as:
PC - Straight Cable- - HUB
Pin 1 TX+ -------------- Pin 1 RX+
Pin 2 TX- -------------- Pin 2 RX-
Pin 3 RX+ ------------- Pin 3 TX+
Pin 6 RX- ------------- Pin 6 TX-
Or
PC - CrossOver Cable - PC
Pin 1 TX+ -------------- Pin 3 RX+
Pin 2 TX- -------------- Pin 6 RX-
Pin 3 RX+ ------------- Pin 1 TX+
Pin 6 RX- -------------- Pin 2 TX-
I believe those pinouts are Green, Green/White, Orange and Orange/White. (i think)
