i've got a long cat 5 cable for my networking needs the only thing it's missing is that thing on the picture. so my question is can i get this somewhere online? so i can attach it to my cable on my own?
yea i though of going there, but i'm too lazy to make a trip in that direction so for now i am looking for some place online where i could get it. if i cant find it then i'll be going to stores around me
What your after is an RJ 45 connector, as mentioned you will require a special crimping tool, the connector itself can be bought from any electronics store.
If you are connecting it yourself be sure the pin out is correct for your application EG: PC to PC or through a hub, as each config requires a different pin out.
i bought the connectors and put that **** on by myself.
i did it this way
1 WHT/GRN
2 GRN/WHT
3 WHT/ORG
4 BLU/WHT
5 WHT/BLU
6 ORG/WHT
7 WHT/BRN
8 BRN/WHT
and tryed connecting my dsl model to computer and it worked fine. i'm gona get my router later today or probably tomorow. will this settings work fine on router to computer?
dude, i'll tell you a little secret. the order of the wires doesn't matter. the key is to get the wiring order on both ends of the cable the same. the order that it is supposed go in is:
(with the little tab thing facing down)
green
white stripe green
blue
orange
white stripe orange
white stripe blue
brown
white stripe brown
oDin.
Edit: all i want for xmas is the ablility to spell
well as i connected it it's , on both ends with tab facing right
left side:
1 white with green
2 green
3 white with orange
4 blue
5 white with blue
6 orange
7 white with brown
8 brown
right side. and as i said i tryed it for my dsl modem it worked. but as u say i hope it will work fine with router.
If you are going from PC - PC you use a straight through pin out
IE: pin1 to pin1, pin 2 to pin 2 etc. If you are going through a hub or router you need a crossover in the cable.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
