Ethernet Connector



A different connector is used in an Ethernet-based LAN environment. An RJ-45 connector for the unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable is the most common connector used to connect LAN interfaces. At each end of an RJ-45 cable, you should be able to see eight colored strips, or pins. An Ethernet cable uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 for transmitting and receiving data.

Two types of cables ..
can be used with Ethernet LAN interfaces:
  • A straight-through, or patch cable, with the order of the colored pins the same on each end of the cable
  • A crossover cable, with pin 1 connected to pin 3, and pin 2 connected to pin 6

Straight-through cables are used for:
  • Switch-to-router
  • Switch-to-PC
  • Hub-to-PC
  • Hub-to-server

Crossover cables are used for:
  • Switch-to-switch
  • PC-to-PC
  • Switch-to-hub
  • Hub-to-hub
  • Router-to-router
  • Router-to-server
