    (g) What are Straight and Crossover cable Common Ethernet network cables are straight and crossover cable. This Ethernet network cable is made of 4 pair high performance cable that consists of twisted pair conductors that are used for data transmission. Both ends of the cable are called RJ45 connectors.
  • Page 67 Crossover Cable Sometimes you will use crossover cable, it's usually used to connect same type of devices. A crossover cable can be used to: 1) Connect 2 computers directly. 2) Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's normal port. (normally used for expanding network) 3) Connect 2 switches/hubs by using normal port in both switches/hubs.
  • Page 68 Lastly, if you still not sure which type of cable to be used sometimes, try both cables and see which works. Note: If there is auto MDI/MDI-X feature support on the switch, hub, network card or other network devices, you don't have to use crossover cable in the situation which I mentioned above.
