Re: Twinax Hub

There are two possible problems. First, the cables need to be pinned straight through, not crossover like telephone cables. Second, ribbon cable will not work reliably at lengths longer than about 12 feet.

Hey all
We've got a Twinax Hub (an NBase 5250 Active Star) that works with RJ-11 cables. I can physically plug RJ-45 cables in, but I can't get any twinax screens to work unless I'm using RJ-11. The RJ-11 cables I have are way too short for what I need, and I can't make up any new ones. I can make up RJ-45 - is it likely that the hub simply doesn't work with RJ-45, or is there just a different way of wiring it up?
