▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ B Cables Twisted Pair Cable Types Straight-through Cable The majority of twisted-pair environments utilize twisted-pair cables that are wired straight-through. This means that each pin of the modular plug connector is wired to the same pin on the opposite end of the cable (i.e., pin 1 is wired to pin 1, etc.) Straight-through cables connect workstations and servers to repeaters and switches. Cables for 100BASE-TX use two pair (pins 1, 2, 3, and 6).
PCI Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Adapters Crossover Cable If you do not wish to use a repeater or switch to connect servers and workstations together, you can use a crossover cable. A crossover cable connects the transmit, or TX, pins on one end of the cable to the receive, or RX, pins on the other end of the cable. Crossover cables connect workstations and servers directly, without the use of a repeater or switch.
