Why Does My Cat 5e Patch Cable Work With My Netbook And Xbox 360, But Not My Desktop?
December 2nd, 2009 by admin | Filed under technie stuff.Is there a reason my old yellow cat 5e patch cable that I run from the modem directly to a device works with my desktop, netbook, and 360, but my new black one works only with my netbook, 360 and NOT my desktop? Shouldn’t all cat 5e cable work with any device that uses them?

yes they should, my only guess is the black cable is slightly faulty. If you have built/crimped a cat5 you might know what i mean, one of the colour cables inside might not be fully crimped. Simply get another cable or keep using the yellow one.
Also to above answer, is there such thing as a cable port programming for a network cable lol??
Compatibility? How old is your desktop?
if the cable is operational for something, there is nothing wrong with the cable, it must be your computers cable port of programming
