ken_cinder Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Any package you buy will clearly state that the cable, is a crossover cable. Standard cables otherwise not marked as such, and are used for hooking up to a hub/router etc. FYI Crossover cables are usually yellow too. It seems to be the color reserved for crossover, as I've never seen a crossover that wasn't yellow, nor a standard cable that was yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraxen Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Crossover CableCrossover Cable Crossover cables look like normal network cables except they are usually some sort of odd color. Many are yellow or orange. These two are orange, I have a yellow cable myself. Both standard and crossover cables have RJ45 connectors on the end.

Look on the first picture and you can see that the packages are normally labeled with "Crossover" in big lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
