ASSIGNMENT
1.Different between Cross over cable and Straight
Cable.
A Cross Over Cable is An Ethernet crossover
cable is a type of Ethernet cable used to connect
computing devices together directly. Unlike
straight through cable, crossover cables use two
different wiring standards: one end uses the T568A
wiring standard, and the other end uses the T568B
wiring standard. The internal wiring of Ethernet
crossover cables reverses the transmit and receive
signals. It is most often used to connect two
devices of the same type: e.g. two computers
(via network interface controller) or two switches
to each other but a Straight Through Cable or
Straight 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. 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. On a straight through cable, the
wired pins match. Straight through cable use one
wiring standard: both ends use T568A wiring
standard or both ends use T568B wiring standard.

2.Examples where each is applicable.


For Cross Over Cable;
a. Connect 2 computers directly.
b. Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's
normal port. (normally used for expanding
network)
c. Connect 2 switches/hubs by using normal port in
both switches/hubs.
For Straight Cable;
a.Connect a computer to a switch/hub's normal
port.
b.Connect a computer to a cable/DSL modem's LAN
port.
c.Connect a router's WAN port to a cable/DSL
modem's LAN port.
d.Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's
uplink port. (normally used for expanding
network)
