Does it matter if I use straight-through or cross-over ethernet cables when connecting the ends?

If you use a Crossover, then you'll need a crossover on the other end as well. it runs over cat6 but is not being transferred as Ethernet. On each end the pin order must match.

I'm sorry, but I dont use the ethernet; I use it wireless. I hope you find the answer your looking for. Regards.

That is correct, does not matter where you plug the ethernet in from the router or modem. Just need to get the internet into the switch and then it does the rest, pretty easy plug and play. Other outlets can then be plugged into to any device requiring internet. Hope this helps

This adapter allows two computers to be connected together with a Cat 6 cable, without a Ethernet Switch in the middle. Only one adapter is needed on one end of the Cat 6 cable. It does not matter which end of the cable the adapter is installed on.

NO, you have to install card, or use wireless USB or use router output via Ethernet to run. Actually last is best for both bandwidth, security, and no interference if close enough to router for running Ethernet cable.

The information sheet had a different (than normal telephone) order for the colored wires. But it does not really matter as long as both ends are the same it is just a pass through. I have two cat 6 cables and it worked fine.

You can route the cable from either the top or the bottom. There is a channel to insert the cable into, if routing from the bottom. There is no need to switch any of the hardware.

Peters answer is the best. If you are not a professional installer do not hassle with different types of cables and connectors.

Yes, the wiring is the same at both ends... meaning the color and order of the wiring is consistent in both ends of the plugs BUT the end plugs are different.........one is the type of end plug for a telephone the other is type of end plug for ethernet.

I cant recall if cables came with them, but if so they were way too short to be of practical use. You can use any standard off the shelf cat5, cat6, etc. Ethernet cables with rj45 connectors.

Yes it does. With the trend of excluding older hardware from newer computers, I don't see Ethernet going out anytime soon. It's the fastest possible connection and all business still rely on wired connection rather than range limiting wi-fi or other wireless connections.

Same connector.. some have had problems with newer cat 6, something about the wire being thicker and difficult to push through. I have had no problems using them on cat 6.. I will say that before you insert cable you should trim the wire ends diagonally (cut wire on a angle, short-long) makes thicker wire easier to insert and prevent crossover...

I believe you can also use Ethernet over the wire using the LAN-in / LAN-out ports, but the device that you power with this would need to support wired Ethernet for this to be useful. The Ethernet in/out is probably not useful in most situations in which I imagine this device is used, e.g. with an iPad. If you had a Raspberry Pi or some other device that runs off 5V power and also has an Ethernet port, then you could use this to provide both power and Ethernet.

My experience has been that the Mac end of the cable does not obstruct adjacent ports. Hope this helps.

No, it's just a crossover adapter. Turns a regular ethernet cable into a crossover cable with this plugged into one end.

No you do not have to convert all connections .I have the same format.Just hook the ethernet cable from a switch or hub to the router port and configure & secure it and you are done.

Unknown - I did not try it for passing ethernet. Blue Rigger website says it will. http://www.bluerigger.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=2&catid;=1&prodid;=2
