- Cat 5 crossover cable
- Posted by IG on February 15th, 2006
I have a cat 5 crossover cable between 2 rooms allowing me to share an
internet connection.
Want to change it over to a straight cable, and replacing the cable
would not be easy.
Question: If I join another short crossover cable at one end, do I get
a straight cable?
Thanks ....Ian

Yes. You can put a feed-through with another crossover cable, and it should
come back to normal. I've done this type of thing myself. I would guess you
are going to install a router.
Most professional installers would prefer to re-do the connector on one end
of the cable to make it a straight cable (patch cable), or run in a new
cable. This avoids another variable in the signal path. But, under normal
circumstances, the connections should be reliable.

It is easier to buy a crossover adapter, A small plug/socket with the crossover inside.
normaly very cheap!

Before tampering with the cat5 cable, dependant on what you want to do
be aware that some of the new hubs/switches/routers have autosense and
can detect if the cable is normal or crossed over. Recently I changed
a switch and one cable did not work. When I checked further I found
that the 4 port switch I replaced had auto sense, the replacement 16
port did not.
Hope this helps.
