I’m trying to extend my webcam to 100+ feet, so I bought a Cables unlimited Cat5 over USB extender. But the problem is it doesn’t detect anything! I tried different cables(even 3ft), but still nothing. When I tried with a USB drive the little light came on, so it’s getting power, but it doesn’t want to connect. Anyone know? Thanks!

I know how to make it manually, by lining up the colored wires on both jacks. Is there any simple (reasonably priced) machine that can do this.

Thanks

Do colors matter when wiring a Cat5 cable?

I know that it obviously each end has to match, but does it matter what order it’s in? I know there’s a standard, but would doing it differently make a difference?

- Are the specific wires in a cat5 cable made of different substances?
- Would doing it in the wrong order possibly make the wire not work?
- Could doing it in the wrong order make the wire less effective?

Thanks, I’m trying to troubleshoot why this 35 foot cable isn’t working.

I want to link my laptop to my desktop to share files. is this possible to link them as a network with only a cat5 Ethernet cable? if so can i still do this if the laptop is running windows XP and the desktop Vista?
