make a gigabit rj45 loopback plug
I am trying to do some testing through different parts of a circuit connected to a cisco router. I need to make a loopback plug to do a hard loop.
I have created one loopback plug with the following pin layout:
Pin1 shorts to Pin3
Pin2 shorts to Pin6
Pin4 shorts to Pin7
Pin5 shorts to Pin8
If I put the cisco interface speed to 100 my interface links up. If I set the interface to 1000 the interface shows down/down. I tried this on a router interface and a switch interface with the same results. Can anyone verify if I have this pin layout set correctly for a gigabit loopback plug?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, The first image on there is what Im looking for. It shows to be the same pin layout as I described above.
Do you have any idea why my gig interfaces do not link up with this loopback plug?

May have to try the commercial ones. I did use Cat5E wire. I might find some Cat6 and try making it again before I buy one. Thanks.
