Page 24: Appendix B: Cabling And Pin Assignment
Appendix B: Cabling and Pin Assignment RJ-45 There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling. Category 5 is the most reliable and is highly recommended. Category 3 is a good second choice. Straight- through cables are used for connecting computers’ NIC cards to a hub. Crossover cables are used for connecting a hub to another hub. - Page 25 Connection between NIC card and Hub In a straight-through cable, wire 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one end of the cable are the same as wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end.
