Crossover Cable (T568A on one end, T568B on the other)
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.
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.
straight cable is needed when connecting two computer periperhals. A cross over is used when connecting a computer to a network hardware (router, swirch, etc..)
A 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.
How can I configure straight through cable?
The Ethernet port is used to connect a computer to a connectivity device such as a modem, router, switch,etc. Does so via an ethernet cable.
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.

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.
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.
