I have been examining the diagram for the passive tap. I don't really understand and I was hoping someone would clarify the drawing for me? It appears to me that we have a <HOST> and the connecting Ethernet cable going to some distant switch or hub. In the middle of that Ethernet cable is the copper tap. The picture in my mind is now <HOST><CABLE><TAP><CABLE><HUB>. Inside the tap is where I think my understanding has broken down. The picture seems to indicate that there is a crossover occurring on the actual <CABLE> which I know would not work. Maybe a pin out of the tap would help? HOST SIDE A HOST SIDE B TAP 1 <-> 1 #? 2 <-> 2 #? 3 <-> 3 #? 4 <-> 4 #? 5 <-> 5 #? 6 <-> 6 #? 7 <-> 7 #? 8 <-> 8 #? Best regards, Michael D.
