Title: Straight Through and Crossover Cable Connection
Objectives:
I. Familiarization with straight-through and crossover cable connections.
II. To know the straight-through and crossover cable connection.
Straight Through Cable:
A straight-through cable is a type of twisted pair cable that is used in local area networks to connect a computer
to a network hub such as a router. This type of cable is also sometimes called a patch cable and is an alternative
to wireless connections where one or more computers access a router through a wireless signal.

Crossover Cable:
Crossover cables are a type of ethernet cable that is used to connect two computers together directly. It can
connect other devices as well, provided both are of the same type – for example, two switches, but not a
computer and a switch.
This helped streamline the sending and receiving of signals from either of the two connected devices, and it
automated much of the process of the connection. It also helped avoid signaling conflicts, which were an issue
in early connections.

Ethernet cable:
Ethernet cables are wires that physically connect your computer to a router or modem. Ethernet cables can
seem clunky or restricting, but they can substantially improve the speed and stability of your internet. Here's
what you need to know about Ethernet cables, how they work, and what makes them a handy alternative to
Wi-Fi.
