Sorry if this is already been posted a bunch of times, i have searched for a half an hour but couldnt find it. I though i posted something about it myself but apparently not.
Anyhow, I need to create a cable to connect two routers with T1 Wics. What is teh configuration of this cable??

There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1! -

Yep. ---^
I keep a stash of T crossovers in my cable box at work.
Be sure to set one to clock source internal so you get the full effect of the simulation. Normally the phone company provides line clock and the router draws clock from the plant but on the bench/in the lab you'll have to simulate this. -

Yeah, that is a nice diagram. Does anyone on this forum sell them? I don't need any right now, but perhaps in the future.
I'm not ready to invest in the equipment to start making my own wires, but maybe I should? Theres just so much choice out there when it comes to crimpers... etc?Buying hardware for a home lab is addicting-- (Need.. more.. toys...) **(need.. more.. money) -

Just buy some crimpers , a bag of RJ45 connectors and a role of CAT 5. It's a lot cheaper to build your own CAT 5 cables rather than buy them. Its also good to be able to change the ends as you need to instead of buying a whole new cable.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

If you have a Home Depot or other home hardware store, they'll usually sell simple crimpers, good for occasional use, for ~$35 or less.
You can also get them mail ordered for ~$20. You can pick up the plugs/ends and some cable while you're at it.
Really is invaluable. When you need it, nothing else will do. And like everyone says, there's nothing like hands-on practice to help you remember!Experience is a harsh teacher. She gives the test first, the lesson afterwards. -

Unfortunately, there are no Home Depot/Hardware stores around here.
I found this one:
PLANEX RJ-45-8P
Does it seem good?Buying hardware for a home lab is addicting-- (Need.. more.. toys...) **(need.. more.. money) -

the second one looks like it has the RJ11 spot also along with the razor to cut wires or fingers or whatever.
the more simple one should sufficeUnfortunately, there are no Home Depot/Hardware stores around here. -

Both of them will crimp an RJ-45 plug.
If you plan on doing a lot of your own cables, then get the second one - the nice one.
If you want to do a few for the experience, get the first, inexpensive one.
Always go with quality if you can afford it, but really either will do for occasional use.Experience is a harsh teacher. She gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.
