There are two possible problems. First, the cables need to be pinnedstraight through, not crossover like telephone cables. Second, ribboncable will not work reliably at lengths longer than about 12 feet.

Hey all
We've got a Twinax Hub (an NBase 5250 Active Star) that works with RJ-11cables. I can physically plug RJ-45 cables in, but I can't get anytwinax screens to work unless I'm using RJ-11. The RJ-11 cables I haveare way too short for what I need, and I can't make up any new ones. Ican make up RJ-45 - is it likely that the hub simply doesn't work withRJ-45, or is there just a different way of wiring it up?
