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.

∙ 14y agoA patch cable is a network cable that is used to connect a PC to a hub, switch, or router. A crossover cable is used to connector two PCs into the simplest network possible. Also used to connect two hubs.

∙ 11y agoit is printed along the cable what type of cable it is.
There are two ways, you can either look at the printed information on the sheath of the cable, or by examining the wire configuration of both ends of the cable. A patch cable will use the same configuration at both ends; where-as a crossover will use one configuration at one end of the cable and a second (different) configuration at the other end.
The order of the color coded wires in the clear plastic terminal jack will be the same on both ends if it is a patch cable and different if a crossover cable.
I completely agree with what has already been said. I will say it is difficult to see the actual color of the conductors through the RJ45 sometimes.
If you have a cable tester most of them will identify the type of cable you are testing.
Another quick way to verify the cable type is by testing the pins one at a time with a DMM set for ohms or beep continuity.
A crossover cable will not read pin to pin like a straight through or standard patch cable will.

What is the cable that connects a hub to a hub?
PATCH CABLE Patch cables provide a short-range connection, while longer Ethernet cables (usually Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6) are used to connect to a hub up to 100 meters away.
What patch cable is normally used for connecting hubs?
Unless your hub has a switchable port, you use a crossover cable.
What is the function of RJ45 connector?
RJ45 is the standard 8P8C telecommunications connector commonly found in computer networks such as Ethernet. RJ45 specifies both the plug and the socket. Connections are typically formed using twisted pair cabling, predominantly Category 5 (CAT5). Ethernet cables may be configured as patch cables or as crossover cables. These two configurations are standardised in TIA/EIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801. Patch cables are used to connect two different devices, such as when connecting a computer to a network switch or hub. Patch cables use the T568B scheme to terminate both endpoints. T568B is also used to terminate socket-to-socket endpoints and adaptors. Crossover cables are used to connect devices of the same type, such as when connecting one computer directly to another, and use the T568A scheme on one end and T568B on the other.

How do you connect three computers using an ethernet switch without an internet connection to play games?
For this type of connection you will need to use a *crossover* ethernet cable, not a standard patch cable. This will allow two computers to network with eachother. You can then use the network wizard (if you use windows xp or vista) and choose to create a home network. You will need to assign each computer a unique IP address so they can find eachother, as well as a unique computer name.

What is ethernet cable?
Ethernet cable is typically 8-core category 5 (CAT5) cable with RJ45 plugs on each end, capable of bi-directional network transmission up to 100m. CAT5e and CAT6 are better quality cable for network communications over longer distances.
What is the difference between a fly lead and a patch cord?
Generally a patch lead is shorter i.e. used in the patch panel. THe fly lead was generally used to connect an ethernet station to a network point, these are generally longer. These were common terms which were used when ethernet began to get popular. Unfortunately not many 'professionals' know the difference as they were brought up in the 'new age' of networking not using the terms. The reason for the two 'different' cables is pure tidyness. Quite often you see patch panels with LONG trailing fly leads patching various ports. This is quite messy if you had a large network. Using patch leads, you could make them up to an exact length, following the cable ducts to make it cleaner to look at and ultimately easier to troubleshoot. Despite having different names, they are both wired exactly the same: Orange/White Orange Green/White Blue Blue/White Green Brown/White Brown
What is active and passive device?
equipment like cables, ethernet cable, patch cords, face plates and things like switches, routers firewall would fall under active network devices.
Are special tools required when working with cat 5e cabling to create patch or crossover cables?
Yeah
