MisterBigJake Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Is there any benefit to using a Cat6e crossover cable vs. any other type of crossover cable? I expect that the limiting factor would be the NIC in the Xbox, but I was curious to know if there are any benefits to using newer cabling standards for X-Link and FTP.

KaosEngineer Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) No, the Xbox only supports 10 or 100 Mbit per second data transfers - Cat5 will do. And most newer Ethernet ports support auto-MDI/MDI-x making a crossover cable unnecessary. The port automagically connects the proper pairs of wires on each end to allow data to be transferred. The Xbox does not do auto-MDI/MDI-X but if your computer's Ethernet supports it, you are good to go using either a crossover or standard Ethernet cable.
