Google messing me up on wires, need answer

I've been making my own cables for a little but I've been making straight through only.

I recently started making cables for my switches and I know a rollover cable needs to be used. When I look for diagrams for the cable I see two different types of rollover cables.

Anyone have a pic of the color scheme or a link to the one I need to be using?

    Are you trying to make a console cable or a cable to connect two switches together via "Ethernet"?

    you need to make cross over cables

    The link that Spd3432 posted should work for you then. You definitely need to the get the difference between a crossover cable and a rollover cable settled into your mind, It will come up time and time again.

    When I make my crossover cables, I use the 568A standard on one end and the 568B standard on the other end and bam, there's a crossover cable. See the link below for pinouts:

    Think of what codeblox said. It's crossing the two termination standards. For straight through, keep it straight on just one standard.
