Is etched in my memory. Swap oranges and greens to go between style A and B, do it on one end for a crossover.

^ This. There are A and B standards, and each standard has its own crossover. But there is also a crossover between A and B standards, which is typically what is used when referring to crossover cables.

Not B-to-B xover

It is? This is the diagram I have laminated and glued on my termination kit never had any issues with it.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, I mean the OP. Theirs is a half-crossover.
