Thank You, John Bird

With your advice and the clear plastic plugs on the three cables, I have
with using
my eyes and a magnifying glass discovered that  I have three straight
through cables
for a router. What I forsee is that if I plug a cable end in Computer A,
then it's left most
female contact point will have a connection to the  left most female contact
point
in Computer B. And "etc" through eight points of contact. This is where I
point
the ends down, side by side,  with clip sides down, I find the colors
matching left to right.
