A straight cable is most often used to connect an Ethernet interface to an Ethernet hub or switch. Shielded CAT-5 cable (STP) must be used, the connectors are RJ45.

A crossed Ethernet cable can be used to connect a GTH directly to a server's Ethernet port, without using a hub or switch. This is sometimes also called a crossover cable. Shielded CAT-5 cable must be used, the connectors are RJ45. See similar questions...

A Straight-Through Ethernet cable connects your MediaMVP to your computer through a Hub, Switch or a Router. Both the MediaMVP and the computer must be connected to the same Hub, Switch or Router. See similar questions...

Ethernet, also called CAT-5, RJ-45, or 10-Base T, is the type of cable used to connect computers to the Georgetown network. Ethernet looks like a phone cable but with larger connectors at each end and a fatter cable. You cannot use telephone cable to connect to the Georgetown network. See similar questions...

Since Squeezebox's ethernet interface is 10/100 ethernet, you can use CAT3, CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 ethernet cable. If you are connecting directly to a computer you will need a crossover cable, otherwise a regular straight cable will work just fine. (Note: Some Macintosh computers will work with either a regular or crossover cable.) The maximum length for 10base-T and 100base-T cables is 100 meters or about 328 feet, assuming that the appropriate type of wire is used and it is laid correctly. See similar questions...

Yes, we do provide each student with a 14-ft ethernet cable and they are available at the Help Desk in Fellows Lobby. If the cable is too short, return it to the Help Desk. Multiple or longer cables are available for purchase from the bookstore or local stores like Walmart, Best Buy or Staples. See similar questions...

Extra long cables can be purchased at computer or office supply stores such as the NYU Computer Store. See similar questions...

You can purchase CAT-5 10-Base-T Ethernet cable from the Georgetown University Bookstore or any computer/office supply store. During New Student Orientation, vendors will have Ethernet cable for sale at UIS technology events. See similar questions...

Crooked shoelace bows are usually a sign that the knot has been tied with an un-balanced "Granny Knot". This doesn't just apply to crooked shoelaces; it's also true for crooked bows on dresses, crooked hair ribbon bows, even crooked wedding invitation bows. My Slipping Shoelace Knots page shows how to reverse your Starting Knot in order to change your knot into a balanced "Reef" or "Square" knot whose bow sits perfectly straight.

Relaxing your hair all the way to straight takes away the resiliency and body. The Naturalaxer is thermogenic (heat activated.) It will get silky straight from blow-drying, wrapping, pressing or wet setting. Application tine of 15-20 minutes will relax your curl about 35%. Application time of 20-25 minutes will relax the natural curl about 60%. 30 -35 minutes will relax your curl about 80%. (We say about because it depends on how tight your natural curl is to begin with) See similar questions...

No. Standard Ethernet cables do not have the necessary bandwidth properties for transmitting high-grade video over long distances. Because the actual usage purpose of UTP cables is to transfer digital data, the cable specifications are optimised for this use. See similar questions...

Look at the ends of your cable, and hold them the same way with one in each hand. Now look at the wires inside of the cable. If each end has the wires in the exact same order your cable is straight through. If a few wires are switched the cable is crossover. See similar questions...

cablelynx provides a 30 inch cable with the Cable Modem. Longer lengths can be purchased from your local computer retailer, or your cable company. cablelynx has been tested with Ethernet cable lengths of 50 feet betwen the cable modem and the computer. See similar questions...

Yes, the pin map is at cable.html. Homemade cables are not as good as manufactured cables due to stray effects (inductance and capacitance) because they are not tightly and controllably wrapped and shielded. Such affects can slow transfer speed, cause timeouts and in extreme cases, can even cause corruption of transferred files. If you want to make your own cable, keep it as short as possible.

Haha, sorry dearie, but Xin's been gay since his original conception. Besides, contrary to popular wishful thinking, he is in fact a character in a webcomic. See similar questions...

CAT-5e cable is not rated for outdoor use, however it can generally be used without a problem. If possible, run the cable through some kind of conduit to prevent moisture or an attractive site for lightning to strike. You should be able to find gray PVC conduit suitable for cable at any hardware store. Remember, 100 Meters is your max distance, without some kind of hub, bridge or amplification.

Yes, but you would have to implement the equivalent of Echelon's xDriver software. The best choice for using the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter without LNS is to use Echelon's OpenLDV driver. It is available free of charge at www.echelon.com/openLDV. Yes, though the algorithm differs from the i.LON 600 LonWorks/IP Server. This question is usually asked when trying to figure out how much bandwidth an i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter might consume on an Ethernet segment. For example, if the i. See similar questions...
