Cross-wired Uart Ports between two Pine Boards via Cat5 Cable
#8
The best way to use connectors ( for this use case , cross-wiring between two pines ) is to use good 'ol regular RJ45 connectors. 

Make the cat5 cable youself and do the cross-over in the cable; male RJ45 standard plugs.

On the female RJ45 jacks mounted in the ABS boxes ( or where ever ) run the wiring from the RJ45 to female connectors for plug-in to the uart(s) on the respective pine boards. 

Note:   I have done this on my cross-over and it worked very nicely. I tagged my cat5 cross-over cable at each end so that its obvious to me that its NOT an ethernet cable !  I also tagged the RJ45 female jacks on the ABS boxes to denote the jack as serial console cross-over port vs  ethernet port.
