WIC works with NIC?

hiddenknight821

I know I sound like a total noob, and I am. I have a question for you guys. I have two 2610 routers with 2 WIC T1 DSU/CSUs each. It has an RJ-45 connector with all 8 pins. I use two-pair crossover twisted pair. It was labeled as a T1 cable. One end follows the 568B standard with only the blue and orange pairs. The other end did not follow the standard at all, but the pairs switched place. I know I'm lazy to do more research, but I don't want to take up my time making myself going crazy if you guys have already done it and can provide me an answer. I know I can't use straight cable to connect the NIC on my PC to the WIC, and I am not sure if a cross-over would work either. What I'm trying to do is to have my 2610 connects to a cloud in GNS3 which would connect to a router's serial interface using the same module. I know this is crazy, but is it possible?

You can't plug a T1 interface into an Ethernet interface if thats what you're asking. It may use a RJ45 plug but it doesn't mean they're the same type of interface.

Isn't that an RJ48 plug? Check it out.

RJ45 and RJ48 are the same physical jack. The difference is how they're wired.

What alan2308 said. For short runs you can use a regular network patch cable. You should really use STP but it generally doesn't matter unless you're doing a really long run.

If you want to be pedantic then RJ45 in the networking world is a misnomer anyway as it doesn't follow the real RJ45 standard as that was for telephony use.
