Networking: Straight-Through and Cross-Over Ethernet Cables

What is Ethernet straight through cable?

• A straight-through cable is a type of Ethernet Cable with RJ-45 connectors at each end, and each has the same pinout. It is in accordance with either the T568A or T568B standards. It uses the same color code throughout the LAN for consistency.

• A straight through cable is a type of crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other.

• A straight through cable is a type of CAT 5 where one end isT568A configuration and the other end as T568B Configuration. In this type of cable connection, Pin 1 is crossed with Pin 3, and Pin 2 is crossed with Pin 6.

What is the color coding of straight through cable?

• TIA 568A TIA 68A

• TIA 568A TIA 568B

• TIA 568B TIA 568B

What is Ethernet crossover cable?

• An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly.

• This type of cable is also sometimes called a patch cable and is an alternative to wireless connections where one or more computers access a router through a wireless signal.

• A crossover cables do fall under the Ethernet cable category, these specialized cables are meant to directly connect two computing devices or two switches together.

What is the color coding of straight through cable?

• TIA 568A TIA 568A

• TIA 568A TIA 568B

• TIA 568B TIA 568B

• TIA 568A TIA568C

What is the difference between cross cable and straight cable?

I.When you connect two devices of different types together, you use a straight through cable.When you connect two devices of the same type together, you use a crossover cable.

II.All cables are straight through if you insert a network device between two devices of the same kind.

III.straight-through cables are primarily used for connecting unlike devices. And crossover cables are use for connecting unlike devices alike devices.
