We recommend, and describe, the use of category 5, unshielded, twisted-pair 
cable (approximately 1/4” in diameter with a thin outer-jacket, containing eight 
color-coded wires), and equipment compatible with this type of cable. This type 
of cable is equipped with RJ-45 connectors (like a large telephone jack 
connector, but with eight pins) on each end.

Category 5 cables are available in two different types; 
straight-through cables, used to connect computers to a 
hub, and crossover cables, used to connect two computers 
or two hubs.

To determine which type of cable you have, hold both ends 
of the cable with the connectors facing away from you and 
with the spring clip on the bottom. For straight-through 
cable, the wires on both connectors are attached to copper 
pins in the same order (same colors, left to right). For a 
crossover cable, the wires on each connector are attached 
to the copper pins in a different order (different colors, left 
to right).
