Which wires are crossed in a crossover cable?
Standard cables have an identical sequence of colored wires on each end. Crossover cables have the first and third wires (counting from left to right) crossed and the second and sixth.
What is the wire color of a crossover cable pins 1 and 2?

How a crossover cable is wired?
A crossover Ethernet cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly. Unlike straight through cable, the RJ45 crossover cable uses two different wiring standards: one end uses the T568A wiring standard, and the other end uses the T568B wiring standard.
What is the standard color coding of cross over cable?
Patch Cable Color Standards Grey – used for standard ethernet connections. Green – used for crossover ethernet connections. Yellow – used for POE connections. Orange – used for analog non-ethernet connections.
Why would you use a crossover cable?
You should use a crossover cable when you want to connect two devices of the same type. It helps you connect a router’s WAN port to a cable or DSL modem’s LAN port. You can connect two switches/hubs by using the normal port in both switches/hubs. Straight-through cables are mainly used for connecting, unlike devices.
What are the color codes for straight through and crossover cabling?
A crossover is used to connect two Ethernet devices without a hub or for connecting two hubs. A crossover has one end with the Orange set of wires switched with the Green set. Odd numbered pins are always striped, even numbered pins are always solid colored.
What are the color used in twisted cable?
Each pair of wires in a twisted-pair cable is one of four colors: orange, green, blue, or brown. The two wires that make up each pair are complementary: One is a solid color, the other is white with a stripe of the corresponding color.
What color are Internet wires?
Grey-colored cables typically represent standard ethernet connections, while green cables represent crossover ethernet connections. Yellow cables are used to signify POE (power over ethernet), while blue cables are used for terminal server connections.
How can you tell if a cable is crossover or Ethernet?
Look at the ends of the cable. If the color order is identical, then it is a patch cable (or as you said “conventional”). If the color orders are different, then it is a crossover.
