ethernet wires - falafael - 2012-07-28
I am moving xbmc to another room, and need to extend the wire, i onlky have a couple of plugs spare so, need to get it right first time, so i have come on here for some pointers!
My current wire is as follows:
One end in the router: white/orange, orange, green/white, blue, blue/white, green, brown/white, brown.
The other end in the computer: Green/white, green, orange/white, brown/white, brown, orange, blue, blue/white
SO, what colouring should i use to extend from the computer end?
Thanks for the replys guys!

Are you describing two different cables?
Standard cat5e terminating instructions. Should be the same for cat6 also.

no the cable i mention above is that, one cable, i just want to make another cable up to extend that one!
Thanks

When you say extend, i assume you need to make the length longer. Why not buy a coupler for a few dollars and then make/use a regular passthrough cable. Here's another site with instructions and rules for terminating cables. http://www.lanshack.com/make-cat5E.aspx

That's a way better set of instructions! Thanks for sharing.
