How to create Cross-Over Internet Cable

 A cross-over network cable is used to connect two computers directly. It is also used when you connect two hubs/Switches with a normal port on both hubs/Switches. (In other words, the cross cable is used relatively in a rare case.). It is used to connect similar devices. 

 

Tools Required:

        Same as used for making Straight-Through Cable. 

 

Procedure 

 

Side A: Perform Steps 1-5 mentioned here for making the straight-through cable. 

Side B: Arrange the wires as green-white, green, orange-white, blue, blue-white, orange, brown-white, and brown. And punch it properly.
