I am used of using the Cat5 cabling on my working environment and now they want to move to using the Category 6 (1000Base-T) cable. Could someone show me on how could I do the CrossOver, Straight, RollOver cabling Pin-assingment on a Cat6 cable using the Cisco standard...
Thanks....

Hi,
The crossover pinout is the same for Cat 5, 5e and 6. For 1000base-T all 4 wire pairs are used, and Cat 6 is not really a requirment for gigabit; Cat 5e and most Cat 5 meet the specs.

Thanks, for the answer, I'l be trying it on my own.
A friend of mine keeps on insisting that Cat5 cable can't work using the Gigabit.

Cat5 should work:

However, IMHO, upgrading to premium quality Cat6 or even Cat6e is a good investment:
