There are several types of cross-over cables. The basic idea is to connect two devices that are alike - for example, connection a router to another router. both of these devices use the same wires in a cable (ex. a CAT6 cable) to send and receive data. so, in order for them to communicate you have to cross the wires so that the send wire on one side goes to the receive pin on the other. To summarize, all you do is switch the appropriate send and receive wires in a cable.

How can one identify a cross-over cable?
Match up the two ends of the cable. Look closely at the color coding of the pins at both RJ-45 connectors. If the same colors are used in the same pin positions then the cable is a straight-through cable. If they are reversed at both ends then it is a cross-over cable.Sometimes the cable will be marked that way on the outside covering of the cable. Look for the words "cross-over cable".
Does it matter if the cable wires cross over?
No, it does not matter if the cable wires cross over. It should not cause any problems if they cross over. However, there are several products that allow them to cross over to add on benefits.
What kind of cable is needed to connect a switch to a switch?
cross over cable
What type of monitor cable was connected to the laptop?
Ethernet cross-over cable
How to Convert electrical cable size to cable diameter?
Conversion of cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area".
Can a cross over cable be used to connect two unlike network devices such as a PC and a hub?
In general, no, you would not use a cross-over cable to connect a hub/switch/router to a PC. This is because the device itself has cross-over circuitry built into it, and if you used a cross-over cable you would be reversing that process. The net effect is that the transmit signal would connect to another transmit signal, when it should be connected to a receive signal.
What is the different between cross over and normal patch cable?
In a normal patch cable the wires are the same on both ends. In a cross over cable the transmit and receive pairs are reversed so that the wire in position 1 goes to 3, and 2 goes to 6.
What is the purpose of a crossover RJ45 cable?
You can connect 2 PC`s without the use of a switch with a cross-over cable.
What is the diffirence between Cross cable and state cable?
The difference between a cross cable and a state cable is that a cross cable, or crossover cable, is used specifically to connect two of the same devices.
What type of cable do you use for network of two computers?
you can use any of the following cables: 1) Cross Over cable 2) LAN cable 3) Ethernet cable
How do you know that your crossover cable is good?
You can use an ohmmeter to test the continuity of all wires. Alternately, you can put it in place of a known working cross-over cable and see if the network connection still functions. Remember that many modern network devices detect whether the cable is straight or cross-over, so perhaps you don't even need a cross-over.
