Cross-over side of RJ-45 Cat 5 568a CRXd

Okay this is the crossed side. Just make one side like the above (normal) and then make the other side of the cable like this pinout picture. What the poor man does to test his cable out if he has no cross over tester. is this. Once I make my cables. I Hook up both up to a PC and test them. You need crossover cable between to like devices. The term is called DTE to DTE or DCE to DCE.
The basic concept in crossover cables is that when connecting similar devices such as a DTE to a DTE or a DCE to a DCE the cable needed for the job is of crossover design. On the other hand, when connecting a DTE to a DCE, the cable required is a straight through cable. But read above on DTE and DCE it does depend on the port and how it is wired. The port can be wired different. And these rules can be broken or modified....
