I've never bothered to check to see if cat5 cables use the appropriate mating twisted pairs or not. Since the pinouts are different for cat5 vs T1 cables, I'd have to guess a single strand is used from two different twisted pair groups. That wouldn't be cool, but in short runs it probably doesn't have much of an impact.
A T1 and cat5 patch cable have the same pairs. However, patch cords are straight through so they do not work in applications that require a crossover cable. And no, a T1 crossover cable is not the same as a cat5 cross over cable.
For cat 5 (568B) has you have pair 1 - conductors 5 & 4 pair 2 - conductors 1 & 2 pair 3 - conductors 3 & 6 pair 4 - conductors 7 & 8 http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5E.aspx Don Pobanz _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
