awesome i was right!

whew

7/25/2005 7:16:40 PM

I thought you said 6?

7/25/2005 8:11:53 PM

there may be either 2 or 4 pairs (in 100 mbit applications only 2 pair are used)

whats fucking annoying is that they dont go in the damn connector in anywhere near that order

4 pairs on standard cat5...only 2 pairs on loopback cables...am i right or am i right...oh yeah by the way

the colors don't matter as long as you get the right ones crossed/uncrossed.

i dont see why he felt the need to clarify what brownstripe meant

no, you aren't right. but thanks for playing.


only the white, white-orange, green, and white-green cables are used unless you're running gigabit ethernet. try this... cut open an ethernet cable and sever the blue and brown wires. it still works...

EXACTLY

7/27/2005 8:30:50 PM

Did you get the job?

7/27/2005 8:49:25 PM

the point of a standard is so that any person working on a project that conforms to a standard will know what the wiring scheme is.

if you go in there and wire something w-orange, orange, w-green, green, w-blue, blue, w-brown, brown cause you find it easier, then i come in and wire it to the standard, shit isn't going to work and it's gonna take us 3 days to figure out that you fucked up by not conforming to the standard.

It is absolutly lovely when you come in after a person who has their own wire color scheme...

neither are you.

The question was "how many pairs are in a cat5 cable" not "how many pairs does 100Mb Ethernet use"

8/9/2005 1:14:54 PM

my answer "there may be either 2 or 4 pairs (in 100 mbit applications only 2 pair are used)" is the correct one. you can buy 2 UTP cat5 100mbit ethernet cable in bulk.

you may be able to buy 2 conductor cables that work for networking, but they aren't cat5

being cat5 specifies that the cable is 4 pairs of 24 guage wire. if you find 2 pair labeled cat5, then that label is wrong.

8/9/2005 8:39:25 PM

^ correct.

To be true Category 5, it must conform to EIA/TIA 568, which dictates 8 wires, among other things.

By the way 100Mb Ethernet can use all 8 wires in 802.3af (POE) applications, for example.

The cabling specs are strictly layer 1 whereas the flavor of ethernet straddles layers 1 and 2.

^you're such a tool.
I was just going to inflate my nerd peen by saying POE.

Why's it gotta be a "white" paper?

Racist!

I guess if it's me writing it, it would have to be a brownpaper.
