Network Cables

Cross-over network cables are used to connect two network computers or devices directly withour passing through a hub, switch or router. The color coding on both ends are different and this means one end could be T-568A while the other end could be T-568B. Becasue these cables are not passing through hub or a switch, there is no auto-reversing done when crossing over to another device in the network. Full data transfers are also realized and connectivities are determined through the blinking link lights on both ends. When there's data collision, you could see the traffic through the green blinking light on the NIC of these two computers.
