UTP Cable a.k.a Network Cable

Files under Networking | 12 Comments | 9,280 views

This evening once of x-Colleague told me he connect 2 laptop with a UTP cable, but unable to play Counter Strike…

What is the problem if you having this kind of question?

  • Game problem?
  • Networking Problem?
  • Laptop problem?

Still remember when i starting as an IT officer, some time my solution are not accurate, and i need to provide quite some solution then only works or solve the problem…As times goes by, my solution become more and more accurate. Hope can improve more in near future.

Ok, back to my friend problem, i ask him to check on the UTP cable color code, just like as below. Check the arrangement of the color on both head and tail

This is Straight Ethernet Cable, both head and tail same color arrangement. T-568A standard which was ratified in 1995, wheres replaced by the T-568-B standard in 2002. (Currently using this Standard)

This is Crossover Ethernet Cable or so-called CROSS CABLE, the easy way to remember, is one end using the T-568A standard and the other end using the T-568B standard. Or simply switch the Green set of wires in place with the Orange set of wires.

CROSS CABLE use to connect 2 same device together, such as PC to PC without passing hub or router. At the end, my X-Collegue found that his wire are not CROSS Cable… This is the different between this 2 type of cable.
