There are three types of cables used in paired connection of computers: crossover, straight-through, and rollover. Crossover cables are used to connect two devices directly, without a router or switch in between. Straight-through cables are typically used to connect a computer to a router or switch, while rollover cables are typically used to connect a modem to a router or switch.
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.
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.
To the switch the router is just another host, so it connects with a straight Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable.
