Ethernet Crossover Cables and Straight Through Cables - When to Use Which

Crossover cables and straight through ethernet cables, test yourself on how well you understand when to use which ethernet cable as part of your network. PC to PC? How many wires in a Cat6 cable? What is a MAC address? And more. Great video quiz. Previous microlearning IT training videos in the Cisco Answers IT series: cs.co/9001BZyfW.

i wish my lessons where this easy🙏

ok but that CISCO x NIKE collab is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@MrReiten]

I think crossover and straight câbles are useless now, because networks cafés are able to crossover or straight cables.

+Paul Olivier And when it comes to Switches there's auto-mdix

[@grosgogogogt]

@@manielliott9188 not all switches support auto-mdix

which cable to use between router to switch..?

[@CA.papaBear]

crossover.

[@CA.papaBear]

here's a simple way of putting it: You have a regular ethernet cable. (as an example) Straight (or regular) ______________ ______________ | computer A | ----------> send receive send ----------> | computer B | ______________ ______________ | computer A |

[@Avenger13218]

Straight-through, not crossover.

[@dvdgantt1]

Straight Through Cable b/c they're are different devices. Switch transmits data(Frames) to Router w/ wires 3,6. Router receives with 3,6 but drops the frames and fowards(wires 1,2) Logical Addresses to reach other networks.

Hi 👋 Thank you for helping us But I have a one question please I have two pc and I need to connected with each other via cable ( I need to made the cross over ? ) Right ? OK How if I told to you I’m made the ( straight through way ) and connected successfully with each other and I makes ping and it pinged successfully

[@aldoflores4576]

Maybe the two PC's have a special function in whiche they know which type of cable is being used and can "adapt" themselves to successfully have communications (this function is already a reality for some CISCO devices)

[@legend-sl1vg]

Dear Sir, please let me know that should I use straight or crossover cable in this scenarios... 1. First router to second router second router to third router to fourth. 2. And while I connect these four routers to each other should I use regular Ethernet to Ethernet ports or Ethernet to uplink ports or uplink to uplink ports to connect all the routers. 3. i used an optical fibre internet connection given with a modem which has two Ethernet ports on the first company provided router and the rest of the three routers are TP link Wi-Fi routers. I will be grateful if you could help me out on this thanks once again
