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 PC to switch hub using patch panel?

To connect a PC to a switch hub using a patch panel, first, run an Ethernet cable from the PC's network port to a designated port on the patch panel. Then, use another Ethernet cable to connect the corresponding port on the patch panel to a port on the switch hub. Ensure that both the patch panel and switch are properly powered and configured. This setup allows for organized cable management and easier network troubleshooting.


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 the best way to set up a network patch panel for home use?

To set up a network patch panel for home use, first plan the layout and label each port. Next, connect the patch panel to the switch using Ethernet cables. Then, connect each device to the patch panel using shorter patch cables. Test the connections to ensure they are working properly.


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 does Ethernet or patch cable mean?

An Ethernet or patch cable is a type of network cable used to connect devices within a local area network (LAN), such as computers, routers, and switches. It typically consists of twisted pairs of copper wire and is designed to transmit data at high speeds. Ethernet cables come in various categories, such as Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a, each supporting different bandwidths and distances. They are essential for wired internet connections, providing a stable and reliable way to transfer data.


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


How can I effectively organize and manage my home network using a patch panel?

To effectively organize and manage your home network using a patch panel, you can connect all your network cables to the patch panel and label them accordingly. This centralizes your network connections and makes it easier to troubleshoot and maintain your network. Additionally, using a patch panel helps reduce cable clutter and ensures a more organized and efficient network setup.
