UTP Cable Wiring
10BASE-T unshielded twisted-pair cables can be wired as "Straight-Thru" or,
in some cases, "Crossover" depending on the application. For workstations
connected to a hub, use "Straight-Thru' wiring illustrated below in Table B-2.
In some instances (e.g. cascading from one hub to another), you may use
"Crossover" wiring illustrated below in Table B-3.
