Unfortunately I found it doesn't always work so smoothly. It didn't on my PS2 no matter how much I tried. Crossover is still needed in some cases I guess.
^ 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.
It's not for going between 568A and B, it's just terminated that way. What is flipped is the transmit and receive pins. It's used in equipment that can't auto-mdix, if you need to connect two ports or two interfaces. Like interface on a NIC with a router, or ports on two switches/hubs.
Ahhh that brings back memories.
hilariously one from 2015 when a buddy and mine were abroad and didn't have internet for a good month.

Just remember crossover is hardly ever used now. Straight is almost always what you need for typical use.

Unless you're using particularly old switches or routers it doesn't matter if you're using straight or crossover anymore.

And really only on both sides. Thankfully, auto detect only requires one side to have it to work.

I'm pretty sure you have to cross the blue and brown wires too.

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

In other words:
Not A-to-A xover
Not B-to-B xover
xover A-to-B

You never know if you will be though. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I was about to say - the outs go in, and the ins go out. The picture is wrong.

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

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

I assumed crossover cables were to go between A and B standards, but that doesn't look accurate. What are they for then?
