Network cables

Hi all,

             In network cable there are different types of Categories, Ex: CAT5, CAT6 etc., but whatever Category we use the cables are crimped into two types.

                                                                                1.Straight cable               2.Cross cable

Note :

* From the above you understand that Straight cable has same crimping[color codes] on both the ends and the Cross cable has different crimping[color codes] on the ends.

* The straight cable is used to connect to different type of devices as Hub to PC, Switch to PC, So here the Transmission and Receiving ends should be same, so we are using same color code on both sides.

* Cross cable is used to connect to same type of devices as Hub to Hub, Switch to Switch, So here the transmission wires on one end should be connected to the receiving end on the other side, so we are using different color code on both sides.
