Interface cable
Typically, a category-5 twisted pair cable is adopted to connect the 10BASE-T /100BASE-TX Ethernet
interface to the Ethernet, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 2-9 Ethernet cable
Ethernet cables fall into two categories: straight-through cables and crossover cables:
z
Straight-through cable: The wire sequences of the twisted pair cable crimped in the RJ-45
connectors at both ends are completely the same. It is used to connect terminal devices (such as
PCs, routers) to Hubs or LAN Switches.
z
Crossover cable: The wire sequences of twisted pair cable crimped in the RJ-45 connectors at both
ends are different. It can be used to connect two terminal devices (such as PCs and Routers).
For the pinouts, identification and making methods of these two kinds of network cables, see Low-End
and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable Manual
