Configuring Crossover Ethernet Cable: Learning Activity Sheet

This document provides instructions for configuring a crossover Ethernet cable. It explains that a crossover cable can directly connect two similar devices like computers, unlike a straight-through cable which requires a switch. The document shows color-coding configurations for wiring each end of the cable, with one end as T568A and the other as T568B. Learners are asked to answer questions and complete a table to practice wiring a crossover cable correctly.

CONFIGURING CROSSOVER ETHERNET CABLE

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS


Last week, we learn what is a straight-through cable configuration and how to make it. We also
learn that the purpose of straight-through cable is to connect “different” devices like computer to router
junction. In this Learning Activity Sheet, we will be going to tackle the Crossover configuration cable.

Figure 1. Example of a Crossover configuration.

1|Page
Examine the Figure 1 image. What did you notice? How the two (2) computers where connected?
They are connected via crossover cable together directly. Unlike straight-through, in order for the two
computers to be connected, it must be junction in a switch or router. In a crossover, you can simply
redirect the connection between two similar devices.

Figure 2. Crossover Color-Coding Configuration

Figure 2 identifies on how you will pair the wires by using this color-coding configuration. The
color-coding configuration is as follows:

First End of the Cable

White Green Paired with Green

White Orange Paired with Blue

White Blue Paired with Orange

White Brown Paired with Brown

Table 1. T568 A Color-Coding Configuration

Other End of the Cable

White Orange Paired with Orange

White Green Paired with Blue

White Blue Paired with Green

White Brown Paired with Brown


Table 2. T568 B Color-Coding Configuration

Remember, the color-coding must be done differently on the two ends of the cable. The one end
can be T568 A and the other end must be T568 B.
The Tools and Procedures are the same as how straight-through cable was made. The only
difference was the color-coding procedure.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 A crossover cable has DIFFERENT ENDS.
 Crossover is used to connect two (2) similar Ethernet devices without hub, switch, or router. (e.g.
laptop to laptop)

LEARNING COMPETENCY

3. In testing a crossover cable, can you say that the blinking lights are in order or not? (in
order means light number 1 from one end of the cable will blink together with light number
1 on the other end of cable, and so on) Elaborate your answer.
