Crossover Cable

No class today because of icy roads. We made a crossover cable yesterday in class. You leave one end of the cable as a Cat5 and put the other one as a Cat 6. The colors for the Cat 6 side are as follows: 
White-green, green
White-orange, blue
White-blue, orange
White-brown, brown
Then when you check to see if you have it correct, you put both sides into the little orange device that Robin has and the numbers should appear as follows:
3/1
6/2
1/3
4/4
5/5
2/6
7/7
8/8
If this pattern is correct, then you have successfully made a crossover cable.
