Morning,

As I'm unable to get resonable access to the back of my PC, when I last pulled it out I connected a standard network patch cable to the NIC and pulled it up onto the desk for easy connectivity.

I use an RJ45 coupler to enable me to then connect another longer patch cable with goes to a router.

Now - here's the question - if I connect a crossover cable to the coupler, would the connection act as a crossover, or would it get the hump and becuase it's also connected to another standard patch cable?

Cheers

Lee
