| 184719 | 2003-10-19 06:53:00 | Ok, most of that post makes no sense at all... you may need to restructure your sentences. Cat 6 is the cable standard for gigabit ethernet, a slightly different quality and configuration to Cat 5, however it will still work on a 100MB or 10 MB connection. There is nothing that is a specialist "hub" cable. The only thing generally that differs is a normal straight through cable (where pin1 at end 1 goes to pin1 at end 2) or a cross-over cable where some pins are changed at each end. Crossover cables are designed for connecting two PC's (or other networking devices) together. |

| 184720 | 2003-10-19 06:54:00 | Did he buy a cross-over cable or a stright-through cable? If just going one PC to another with a cable it needs to be a cross-over cable | Otago_Jas (4444) | ||
| 184721 | 2003-10-19 08:23:00 | DSE cross-over cables have red plugs - that may give you a clue. | tbacon_nz (865) | ||
| 184722 | 2003-10-19 11:27:00 | The majority of Cross-Over cables have different colored plugs compared ot the cable itself actually. It can still be Cat6 (It simply tells the "quality" as it were of the cabling, in simple terms for anybody thinking of biting my head off for over-simplifying ;-)) and Crossover, or Patch cable. Cat5 or Cat5e will work fine also, but if its direct between two PC's (As mentioned by other posters) it must be crossover (Unless you've got one of those real clever cards.. but I dont think DSE sell 'em ;-)). |

| 184725 | 2003-10-20 06:17:00 | Patch Cable (www.dse.co.nz) LAN card (www.dse.co.nz) Read the "formatting options" at the reply page, you cannot use links that wrap in the text window. And thats clearly labelled a "Patch Cable". Its not labelled a "Crossover Cable" This is a Crossover Cable (www.dse.co.nz) |
