Crossover Cable
A RJ-45 crossover cable is used when only two systems are to be connected to each other,
peer to peer, at the Ethernet Cards by "crossing over" (reversing) their respective pin contacts.
An example would be connecting two computers together to create a network. The crossover
eliminates the need for a hub when connecting two computers. A crossover cable may also be
required when connecting a hub to a hub, or a transceiver to transceiver or repeater to repeater.
When connecting a hub to a transceiver, a straight through cable is always used.
Note: This is not an IEEE supported configuration and should be used for test purposes only.
A crossover cable is sometimes called a null modem. The coloured wires at either end are put
into different pin numbers, or crossed over.

Function
Positive signal for the TD differential pair. This signal
contains the serial output data stream transmitted onto
Negative signal for the TD differential pair. This
contains the same output as pin 1.
Positive signal for the RD differential pair. This signal
contains the serial input data stream received from the
Negative signal for the RD differential pair. This signal
contains the same input as pin 3.
