Ethernet wiring diagram

Ethernet wiring diagram

Usually posts on this group are ASCII _art_.

Well I am a bad artist, so a technical drawing will have to do.


The wiring of an 10/100baseT Ethernet cable:

Device1 Plug1            Plug2 Device2  Ethernet 10/100baseT
1       1a. . .        . . ,1a 8        1,2 computer->hub
           X X X......X X X
2       1b' V V        V V `1b 7

3       2a-.     .             6        3,6 hub->computer
            \   / \   /
4       3a. .\./. .\./.        5
           X XXX X XXX X...
5       3b' V/V\V V/V\V        4
            /   \ /   \
6       2b-'     V             3

7       4a. . .                2
           X X X...
8       4b' V V                1


At the moment I do not like the asymetry of using 'V' and '.', but
'A' at the top looked bad and '"' at the bottom was totally wrong.

Anyone some better suggestions?
