Hello Joseph, Could I refer you to this web site.
<http://www.southwest.com.au/~jfuller/rj45/rj45.htm> Whilst it does not have the mods that I did in order to check crossover cables it would form the basis of a tester. My thanks to the other guys for the PP3 battery info. Although any 4.5 volt to 9 volt battery would work, the resistor values would have to be altered a little for lower voltages. You could, at a pinch use a 2032 coin battery, if you wanted. However you may have trouble seeing the LEDs light up with long cables. If you want a description of my tester let me know. That goes for anybody else as well. On Sunday 08 January 2006 23:09, Joseph Harrison wrote: > Gaffer wrote: > >Why not just make your own tester ?
