@cinebox I solved the colouring problem for getting a signal from connector 1 to connector 2 (which are the only two that are wired correctly). Brown is already directly connected, but for the other three colours you'd need to make some specialised loopback adapters to go on the other three plugs.

@Drayson

It's upside down and isn't there supposed to be a circle around it?

@harmoniousanger @Drayson espresso or drip grind?

@Drayson without checking, I'm gonna go with the estimate that 40% of the replies will be how this wiring could work

@Drayson Bonus points if it works as a passive ring for FDDI or TokenRing…

Nice, brings back memories of crimping hundreds of these...

@Drayson this is a ritual that summons a random archdemon (instance administrator)

@Drayson the inconsistent middle crossings bother me.

[blotosmetek@circumstances.run]

@FritzAdalis @Drayson @catsalad I don't think it can be done with this graph, as there are 10 links and 4 colours – means that two colours must be used thrice rather than twice. It can, however, be made so 4 connectors have all four colours (and the last has only 2*2):

@Drayson it's a series of tubes

@zwangseinweisung @Drayson that's what I thought those were at first glance... but rj45 makes more sense here, wagos would create a walled garden

[nk30@tech.lgbt]

@Drayson I guess, this is one of those "summoning grids", @cstross was writing about?

@Drayson as we got told it in the trainee ship: star topology ️

@Drayson

I hope that doesn't summon some terrifying Unix daemons
