What Statement Regarding Crossover Cables Is Accurate?

What statement regarding crossover cables is accurate?

1. It establishes the computer connection with HUB or switch.
2. T568B wiring is used on the ends.
3. Two Gigabit ethernet cables are connected with the help of it.
4. It is for the connection of the two Pcs Together.

Answer: The statement related to the crossover cables which is accurate is option 4 that which is used for the connection of the two PCs together.

What is the crossover cable?

A crossover cable is the one form of cable which is used for the connection of the two same devices.it works by the process of reversing the transmission and receiving the pins at ends so that one device input is the output of the other device and via.

Mostly the cable on which the crossover is implemented is the twisted pair cable because it has four pairs of cables. And for the proper working of the crossover, both ends should have the same format for wiring.

The swap in the wires or reverse might be changed because it depends on the network and the devices in use. The mesh network can be created with the help of crossover cables because these can work without the intermediary devices i.e., switch or hub. For example, in the 100baseTX network to create the crossover the second and third pair have to swap with ends. Some of the examples of crossover cables are rollover cables, loopbacks, and null modem cables.

Uses of the crossover cables

We have listed some uses of the crossover cables in the following section:

• It is used for the computer-to-computer connection without any help from a hub or switch. (switch to switch)
• It is used for the connection of a network device to another network device. (router to router)
• It is used to establish the connection between the two-computing device with the help of ethernet ports. (router port to PC)
• It is used for the computer’s direct connection with each other. (computer to computer)
• Two hubs or switches are also connected with the help of general ports in switches and hubs. (hub switch).

Difference of the straight-through ad crossover cables

The key pit or the difference of straight through ad crossover cables are given in the following:

• A straight-through cable is a CAT5 form and the R-45 is present at the ends with the same pinout while the crossover cable is a form of CAT along with T568A configuration.
• Straight through is most common for network cables while the crossover is for many different applications.
• Straight through is connected with the router LAN port through the uplink port, the crossover is connected along with the normal port of Router LAN.
• The computer is connected straight through the DSL modem port while the crossover needs the normal switch/hub port with router LAN.
• Straight through connect two different types of device, crossover connect the devices with the same type.
• Straight through connect the WAN port of router with the cable or DSL modem LAN port, crossover connects the two hub or switches with the regular ports.
