So now im wondering if all 1Gb applications requiring a crossover need all four pairs crossed or just the 1,2,3,6 conductor pairs (orange and green)?Īnd are there any physical variations of 1000 Base-T that only need 2 pairs to work? I suspect there might be a lot of folks that have made crossovers by just crossing the 1,2,3,6 pairs and expect it to work at 1Gbps speeds. But they had the brown and green pairs as well, but they were just not crossed over. An Ethernet crossover cable is a type of Ethernet cable used toconnect computing devices together directly where they would normallybe connected via a network switch, hub or router, such as directlyconnecting two personal computers via their network interfacecontrollers. ![]() I believe I have deployed some 1Gb crossovers that had only two pairs crossed over. And the more I thought, the more I got confused. This got me thinking about my use of crossover cables in 1000Base-T setting. ![]() Someone used an old cable in this instance! An MDIX (for MDI crossover ) is a version of. The MDI (for medium dependent interface ) is the component of the media attachment unit (MAU) that provides the physical and electrical connection to the cabling medium. ![]() ![]() this cable was missing the brown and blue pairs - because it didn't need them on 10 and 100 Mbps. MDI/MDIX (medium dependent interface/MDI crossover): MDI/MDIX is a type of Ethernet port connection using twisted pair cabling.

I was just reviewing a server heartbeat (HB) cable that was failing because it had only 2 pairs (1,2,3,6) and was crossed over in the typical way:
