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).
Used in the context of Local Area Networks (LAN) a straight trough cable is a network cable used to connect a computer to a network hub or router. It cannot be used to connect a two computers directly.
1) Connect a computer to a switch/hub's normal port.
2) Connect a computer to a cable/DSL modem's LAN port.
3) Connect a router's WAN port to a cable/DSL modem's LAN port.
4) Connect a router's LAN port to a switch/hub's uplink port. (normally used for expanding network)
5) Connect 2 switches/hubs with one of the switch/hub using an uplink port and the other one using normal port.
If you need to check how straight cable looks like, it's easy. Both side (side A and side B) of cable have wire arrangement with same color. Check out different types of straight cable that are available in the market here.
