Question: Creating a 1000BaseT Crossover Cable Time Required: 20 minutes Objective: Create a 1000BaseT crossover cable. Required Tools and Equipment: Wire cutter and cable stripper, RJ-45 crimping tool, 2 to 4 feet of Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable, two RJ-45 plugs, and two devices that support 1000BaseT (which can be two PCs with 1000BaseT NICs or two 1000BaseT switches) Description: In this challenge lab, you create a crossover cable that supports 1000BaseT Ethernet and test it between two devices. Then you verify that the devices connect at 1000BaseT speed.
• How is a 1000BaseT crossover cable different from a 100BaseT crossover cable?
• How did you verify that the devices connected at 1000BaseT?
