🔌Ethernet cables transmit data between devices in a network.
🕸️Different types of Ethernet cables have different transmission speeds and wire configurations.
🔀Straight-through cables are used to connect devices with different pin configurations.
🔄Crossover cables are used to connect devices with the same pin configurations.
🔧Auto MDI-X is a feature in modern networking devices that automatically adjusts pin configurations.
What are the differences between straight-through and crossover cables?
—Straight-through cables are used to connect devices with different pin configurations, while crossover cables are used to connect devices with the same pin configurations.
What is Auto MDI-X?
—Auto MDI-X is a feature in modern networking devices that automatically detects pin configurations and adjusts accordingly for smooth communication.
Do you need to use crossover cables with modern networking devices?
—In most cases, modern networking devices have Auto MDI-X enabled, eliminating the need for manual configuration and the use of crossover cables.
Why is it important to know the pin configurations for routers, switches, and PCs?
—Knowing the pin configurations helps ensure proper connections and data transmission between devices in a network.
What are the different types of Ethernet cables, and what are their transmission speeds?
