All powernet servers use RJ-45, 8P8C patch cable.![](https://civilpedia.org/storage/fragment_images/87611002970736880_f0e58c47c7a6aab3ad8f91b5d119c738.jpg)
Either T568-A or T568-B will work with powernet servers. ⚠️ You must never install a "crossover cable", which is a rare breed of cable combining both A and B standards. These demon cables will permanently damage your power grid. 😈Fortunately, crossover cables are rarely encountered now. They may be an endangered species.
