What else can I help you with?
Which device you connect with the help of straight cable?
Straight through cables can be used to connect devices together via switches, hubs, routers, bridges.
What is a straight cable?
In ethernet terms, a straight-through cable connects a client device to a hub, switch or router (straight-through meaning the connection is pin-to-pin, the opposite of a cross-over cable, which connects RX-TX and vice-versa).
Why you should use a straight through cable when connecting two unlike devices?
because it makes sense to use a straight cable, as they are two unlike devices.
What type of cabling use hub?
A hub uses straight throught cabling from clients to the hub, and uses a cross-over cable with the up-link ports to connect hubs to hubs. Usually, the cabling is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) wiring.
What is the method to connect two hubs together?
you will need a crossover cable to do it. Just plug it in Gaurav Phade ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will need a crossover cable to connect hubs that have no uplink ports. However if the hubs have uplink ports you can get away with using a normal CAT5 ethernet cable. Some of the larger TP-Link hubs are usually designed so that every port on the hub can act as an uplink port! Regards Phillip Hurrell Cert IT & Comp (Open)
What type of connector is used to connect hubs and switches?
Nowadays, a USB cable connection is commonly used.
What are the disadvantages of straight through cable?
1. Expensive as you need to buy a router or switch to successfully create a network. 2. Requires more wiring than a crossover cable when only dealing with two computers.
What type of connector is most often used to connect machines to hubs and switches?
RJ45 female and males.
What is the difference in Ethernet crossover and patch network?
tpatch cable is also known as straight cable and mostly connected same devices or nodes. but on the other side cross cable is just different then patch and used to connect different devices. Hem Gurjar
Name two situation in which a crossover cable would be used to connect devices?
A cross-over cable is used to connect two computers together without the use of a connecting device, such as a switch or hub. When daisy-chaining hubs and switches, some older equipment has a special port called the up-link port. This port requires the use of a cross-over cable to add hubs to hubs, etc.
Suppose computers on your home office network are connected to a single hub but now you need to expand the network you purchase another hub assuming you use a straight through cable what port on a hub?
If there's a WAN port on your hub, use that (If your x-port hub actually has x+1 ports, chances are the extra port is actually a WAN port). Otherwise, you probably can't connect that hub to another hub using a standard patch cable and will need a crossover cable. Some hubs will allow you to switch a port between normal and WAN mode, however (I believe some Trendnet hubs have this feature?), so you might want to check first. This is usually a hardware feature - normal hubs usually are not advanced enough to contain software interfaces for a browser to interact with)
What device can you use to connect two or more PCs to a single cable modem?
A switch or hub is used to connect multiple devices to a modem. Hubs have largely fallen out of use due to their bandwidth-sharing properties that make them undesirable in high-speed local networks.
