Given the pin configuration, Tim the technician has a crossover cable.
Key Takeaway: TIA/EIA has outlined standards for the pin out of networking cable for use in Local Area Networks. Two of the standards are the 568/A and the 568/B. The 568/A standard has the cable pin out beginning with Green-White/Green in the 1 and 2 pin slots of the RJ-45 cable. The 568/B standard has Orange-White/Orange in those pins. By creating a cable with one end having the 568/A standard, and the other end having the 568/B standard, this enables devices of the same type to be connected together such as a computer to a computer, or a switch to a switch. This means that the 1 and 2 pins are switched with the 3 and 6 pins.
