1) Assume you have one end of an Ethernet cable in your hands and that connector is a straight pass through. What type of cable (straight pass through or crossover) do you have in your hands? Explain your answer.
2) If you have a standard Ethernet cable in your hands, what is the quickest way to determine the type of cable (straight pass through or crossover)?
2. Straight Pass cable can be compared by having the two ends of the cable side to side with the tab facing towards you. Pin 1-8 will be of the same color when compared to each other.
Identifying a crossover cable by compared by having the two ends of the cable side to side with the tab facing towards you, the first coloured wire (far left) colored wire (pin 1) at one end of the cable is the third colored wire (pin 3) at the other end of the cable. The second colored wire (pin 2) at one end of the cable is the sixth colored wire (pin 6) at the other end of the cable.
