TP == TwistedPair<br> RJ45 == standard connector (same as ISDN not analogTelephony)<br> i'd STRONGLY recommend you to youse them for your cables,<br> but i'd prefer to buy compleet cables instead of making them yourself,<br> if you need longer ones than 20m you probably have to make them yourself
wich isn't so hard....except if you need to make X-over (so you won't need a hub, but your limited to just 2 pc connected to each other)<br> <br> i tried and tried until i decided to see how my bought X-over cable was connected (oddly enough it uses only 4 wires instead of 8, anyway, it works)
Yeah making the cable is easy, but you should really get a crimping tool to do it properly. Its very much cheaper if you make it yourself (here in the UK at least).<br> <br> Ice Cold... I am wondering what data transfer you get between the x-over cable u speak of, as I thought with only 2 tp you would get a reduced transfer rate. (10Mbit maybe)
