CABLES USED FOR DIFFERENT
PURPOSES
 Straight-through cables are used
for connecting computers to a hub.
 Crossed cables are used for
connecting a hub to another hub (the
exception to this is when some hubs
have the built-in uplink port that is
crossed internally, which allows you
to uplink

CROSSED OVER CABLING

GURPREET SINGH CSE/IT

UTP Implementation
 Straight-through cable: Wires on
cable ends are in same order
 Cross-over cable: The orange wire
pair and the green wire pair
switch places on one end of the
cable
 Roll-over cable

GURPREET SINGH CSE/IT

UTP Implementation
Use straight-through cables for the following
connections:
 Switch to router
 Switch to PC or server
 Hub to PC or server

Use crossover cables for the following connections:

 Switch to switch
 Switch to hub
 Hub to hub
 Router to router
 PC to PC
 Router to PC

In a twisted-pair network,
computers are arranged in a
star pattern as mentioned
earlier.

A TWISTED PAIR NETWORK

TWISTED PAIR
 TWISTED PAIR (also known as 10BaseT) is
ideal for small, medium, or large networks that
need flexibility and the capacity to expand as
the number of network users grows. 10BaseT
cabling looks very similar to that of common
telephone cable, although instead four (4)
wires, there are eight (8wisted-pair (also known as
10BaseT) is ideal for small, medium, or large networks

TWISTED PAIR
 There are different grades, or
categories, of twisted-pair cabling.
Category 5 is the most reliable and
widely compatible, and is
recommended by most network
designers. It runs easily with 10Mbps
networks, and is required for Fast
Ethernet

Thin Coax Cabling
 Thin coax (also known as 10Base2) is great for small
home or office networks with two or three computers.
Similar to the cabling used to connect a VCR to a TV set,
coax cabling is inexpensive and easy to set up and does
not require a hub.
 In a thin coax network, which is sometimes called a
backbone, computers are arranged in a "chain" with a
beginning an . Each computer in a backbone requires a
network card, a T-connector, and at least one incoming
or outgoing coax cable.
