When is a straight through cable used and when is a crossover cable used?

You need a crossover cable you want to connect two computers without a switch. If you want to use more than two computers (with switch) you have to use a straight pair cable. ---- Ethernet (up to 100 Mbit) communicates on four of the eight wires available. Two of the wires are used to transmit data, and two are to receive. Wires 1 and 2 transmit while wires 3 and 6 receive. With this in mind, on a straight through cable the wires are in the same position on both ends of the cable. On a crossover cable the wire that is in position one connects to position three on the other side, and the wire in position two connects to position six on the other end.
