Cabling Methods
• There are 3 types of clamping methods
A. Cross over
• An crossover cable is used to connect computing devices together directly. 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.

B. Straight through
• This is used when interconnecting different type of devices: e.g. computer to
hub, computer to switch

C. Rollover Cable
• This is used to create console cable for manageable switches and routers
