What else can I help you with?
What is the max length of cat 5 cable between a hub and switch?
100 meters
Is it possible to link a cross-over connection to a switch or hub?
A crossover cable is used to connect a Hub or Switch to another Hub or Switch - or a PC to another PC.
What Cable configuration used in PC to router connection?
Use a straight through cable, just as you would with a hub or switch.
What hub port do you put the cable in to expand a network?
If you connecting a hub to another device then the cable must be placed in the uplink port, or a port that can switch between a client port and an uplink port.
Differentiante between cross cabling and straight cabling?
Straight Cable is used to connect a device to a different type of devices Eg: PC to a Switch PC to a Hub Switch to a Router E.t.c. Cross Cable is used to connect a device to a similar type of devices Eg: PC to PC Switch to Switch E.t.c.
Which cable does a switch use to Connect to a hub?
Crossover
For devices that do not autosense which connection requires a crossover cable?
Connections between any two equipments of the same kind. For purposes of cabling, you can consider computers and routers as one kind of equipment, and switches and hubs as another kind. This aids in remembering which cable to use. So, you need a crossover cable to connect computer-computer; computer-router; router-router; hub-hub; hub-switch; switch-switch.
Why can't you use a straight through cable to connect a computers NIC to a router's Ethernet port?
A straight cable is used to connect a PC to a hub, switch, or router.
Hub to hub maximum distance?
The standard Ethernet cables (UTP) basically limits the maximum distance between hubs, or between switches, or between a hub and a switch, to about 100 meters. If you use a longer cable than that, the signal will degrade too much, and the network may become unstable.The standard Ethernet cables (UTP) basically limits the maximum distance between hubs, or between switches, or between a hub and a switch, to about 100 meters.

What type of cable should be used to connect switch to hub?
You need to use a straight type of connection. 568A or 568B depending which type your network is using.
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).
What is a hybrid hub?
A hybrid hub supports multiple cable types and can be used to support client with different cable types.
