Identifying a Rollover Cable
You can identify a rollover cable by holding the plugs side by side, with the tab at the back and
comparing the modular plugs at the two ends of the cable. The wire connected to the pin on the outside
of the left plug should be the same color as the wire connected to the pin on the outside of the right plug.
(See
Figure A-1 on page A-2
.)
If your cable comes from Cisco Systems, pin 1 is white on one plug, and pin 8 is white on the opposite
plug. (A rollover cable reverses the wire connections at the opposite ends: 1 to 8, 2 to 7, 3 to 6, 4 to 5, 5
to 4, 6 to 3, 7 to 2, and 8 to 1.)
