It's easiest to just give a link. Read this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair
It's a fairly short article and well worth the read. Brian Cluff On 02/11/2013 01:38 PM, Michael Havens wrote:
As I've learned from experience! Thanks for the help,guys. Now for the million dollar question; why does it introduce errors? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 12:37 PM, Gilbert T.

What you were taught would introduce all forms of errors. in the connector from left to right with the copper contacts and the cable crimp facing you... B Standard (Most commonly used) Pin 1: orange white Pin 2: orange Pin 3: green white Pin 4: blue Pin 5: blue white Pin 6: green Pin 7: brown white Pin 8: brown A Standard Pin 1: green white Pin 2: green Pin 3: orange white Pin 4: blue Pin 5: blue white Pin 6: orange Pin 7: brown white Pin 8: brown To make a standard cable, both cables sides should be the same. To make a crossover cable, you crimp one side A and the other side B. You will also find differences in cable that will cause issues with some cable ends. Never strip the insulation off of the conductors and make sure that you have cable insulation inside the retaining crimp of the connector to relieve strain on the cable.
