A crossover cable is used to network two computers without using a hub Crossover cables may also be required for connecting a cable or DSL modem to a wireless gateway or Access Point Instead of traversing the cable in parallel paths between the plugs, the signals "crossover " For example, in an eight-wire cable, the signal entering on pin one at one end of the cable would exit on pin eight at the other end
A type of 10BaseT cable used to construct a two-system, hubless Ethernet network The advantage of such a network is cost, since you don't need to buy a hub to handle the packet switching There are disadvantages, though: You cannot expand beyond two systems, crossover cable networks tend to take more hand-holding and troubleshooting, and you often need to start up both systems at the same time
Special UTP cable used to connect hubs or to connect network cards without a hub Crossover cables reverse the sending and receiving wire pairs from one end to the other
A twisted-pair patch cable wired in such a way as to route the transmit signals from one piece of equipment to the receive signals of another piece of equipment, and vice versa This allows communication between two DTEs or two DCEs The opposite of a crossover cable is the straight-through cable
This refers to an Ethernet cable using RJ-45 connectors, where one end of the cable is wired so that the Receive signal pins on one connector are connected to the Transmit signal pins on the other connector A Crossover Cable may be used to connect two 10BaseT or 100BaseT network cards, basically making a network of two computers, for example
A twisted pair patch cable wired in such a way as to route the transmit signals from one piece of equipment to the receive signals of another piece of equipment, and vice versa
This is also called a "Crossed Cable " A Cat 5 or 5e cable that is used to connect one Personal Computer (PC) to another PC or one switch to another switch
Used to connect two computers directly with a single patch cable, so that the send wire from one computer is connected to the receive port on the other computer Crossover cables are useful in troubleshooting network connection problems
