You can’t imagine just how mutch i suffered with these assholes before discovering i was colourblind. Fml.
Where’s “surprise power over Ethernet” when you need it? Need to blow up the laptop of any cheeky fucker that unplugs one of my remote wifi repeaters to connect their own stuff up…
Who uses 568a?
I’ve seen it before but it’s definitely niche.
Thankfully we have auto-crossover nowadays.
Doesn’t always work for all systems. You might still need a crossover for connecting to older systems. I.e. My PS2 for FTP access of the hard drive (I don’t have that Fancy EasyHDD thing).
Shouldn’t your (assumedly modern) PC/networking gear be able to handle that for you? It’s my understanding that only one side of the link has to have auto crossover, so as long as one end supports it, it should be fine.
It should but it seemingly just doesn’t and to connect the PS2 to my PC a crossover adapter is needed or it just doesn’t connect.
