I've one seen tool free keystone jacks? Is there something else? Probably be cheaper just to buy a crossover cable.

I used a slightly different (cheaper looking) type, but here they are:

Yes. You can, but it'll work like sheeeit.
For 10 meg, just swap the orange and green pairs - IF its a standard 568B cable.
Even cheapo leviton jacks like HD carries can be terminated with the stuffer cap it comes with.
Saint - in an emergency, I've had customers ask me to splice Cat5E cable -- which I've done by soldering -- preserve the pairing and twist count, and 9 out of 10 will still pass testing at 100M speeds. So sayeth my Pentascanner.

I thought you guys only know how to break networks. I didn't know you knew how to fix them.

I've always used the following for a regular cable:
Orange/White - Orange - Green/White - Blue - Blue/White - Green - Brown/White - Brown
I use that on both sides and it works fine. Is that not the way to do it now a days? I would hate to have to re-memorize a new layout. :) (But I would like to make them right)
