* To make a Cat 6 cable that connects from a PC to a non-capable MDIX switch, you need to use the same wiring standard on both ends of the cable, such as TIA-568-B, which is the most common standard for Ethernet cables. This will create a straight-through cable, which is used to connect devices of different types, such as a PC and a switch.
* You also need to use the appropriate connectors for the cable, which are RJ45 connectors for Cat 6 cables. RJ45 connectors are 8-pin modular connectors that are used for Ethernet and other network applications. They are different from RJ11 connectors, which are 4-pin or 6-pin connectors that are used for telephone lines. F-type connectors are coaxial connectors that are used for cable TV or satellite signals, not for Ethernet cables.
* TIA-568-A is another wiring standard for Ethernet cables, but it is not compatible with TIA-568-B. If you use TIA-568-A on one end and TIA-568-B on the other end of the cable, you will create a crossover cable, which is used to connect devices of the same type, such as two switches or two PCs. A crossover cable will not work for connecting a PC to a non-capable MDIX switch, unless the switch has an auto-MDIX feature that can automatically detect and adjust the cable type.
