What is NETWORKING? Networking is referred as connecting computers electronically for the purpose of sharing information. Resources such as files, applications, printers and software are common information shared in a networking.
The most common types of network devices are: Repeater Network Hub Switch Modem Access Point Router
TWO types of Ethernet cables Straight-through Crossover
TWO types of Ethernet cables Straight-through Crossover
What Is Straight Through Cable? A straight through cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is used in local area networks to connect a computer to a network hub such as a router. Straight through cable use one wiring standard: both ends use T568A wiring standard or both ends use T568B wiring standard. The following figure shows a straight through cable of which both ends are wired as the T568B standard.
What Is CROSSOVER Cable? A crossover Ethernet cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect computing devices together directly. Unlike straight through cable, the RJ45 crossover cable uses two different wiring standards: one end uses the T568A wiring standard, and the other end uses the T568B wiring standard.
What Is CROSSOVER Cable? Use straight through Ethernet cable for the following cabling: Switch to router Switch to PC or server Hub to PC or server Use crossover cables for the following cabling: Switch to switch Switch to hub Hub to hub Router to router Router Ethernet port to PC NIC PC to PC
