straight through
To connect two devices of the same type together. e.g. You would use a crossover cable to connect a router to another router, a switch to another switch or a computer to another computer. If you are connecting diferent devices together, such as a router to a switch, a straight through cable should be used.
When connecting Cisco switches, you should use a straight-through Ethernet cable for connecting devices of different types, such as switch to router. For connecting similar devices, like switch to switch, a crossover Ethernet cable is typically used. However, many modern switches can auto-sense and adjust, allowing for the use of straight-through cables in both scenarios. Always refer to the specific switch model's documentation for compatibility.
