Test a homemade crossover cable - with no tester??? - Urgent
Greetings:
I was told at the last minute to show up at a worksite with two crossover cables.
I won't be reimbursed if I purchase them, and I'd rather fabricate my own.
I don't have a cable tester - any ideas on how I can do a quick test
to make sure the ones I made work?
(I made them following diagrams from www.lanshack.com)
