A "B" type Ethernet Cable will have the wires in this order when looked at with the catch facing away

o Orange/White
o Orange
o Green/White
o Blue
o Blue/White
o Green
o Brown/White
o Brown

The other end is "A" type on a crossover which I always forget the colour order of but its different, but on a straight through cable, both ends are A type or B type (usually B type) but on a Crossover, one is A type and the other is B type. Hope thats not too confusing
So for my modem I would need?????? LOL

A type A??

A Type B??

Or a crossover??

I understand what you are saying but am unsure of which one to use for my modem......I have looked for the cable I had, which I think I got with the modem but cannot find it. I may have chucked it when I failed to sort this last time, Ooops. I will get another cable tomorrow to try it out but with 3 types now to choose from I am unsure of which to go for...?
