2 Types of Cables lang naman ang kailangan mo either straight or crossover cables... Just follow the instructions ng mga posters dito tama po lahat color coding nila.
Straight cables are used to connect PCs to hubs/routers/wall mounted LAN connectors. Crossover cables are often used for PC to PC connection, used also before to connect older models of stackable hubs with each other (I mean hub to hub through their MDI/MDIX port). Newer Switch Hubs can auto-detect if you're using crossover or straight, so no matter what kind of cable you use there's no problem.
About the wall mount to wall mount connections, you don't need crimping here. Most of the wall mount connectors has color legends printed on the module where you slide the wires in, my tip would be to follow the legend and do the same with the rest of the wall mounts.
- PC to PC = Crossover Cable
- PC to Hub/Router = Straight Cable
- PC to Wall Mounted Connector = Straight Cable
- Wall Mount to Hub/Router = Straight Cable
- Hub to router = Straight Cable
- Hub to Hub = Depends on the model, if old model connect them using a crossover cable through their MDX/MDIX ports. Newer models you can connect them using either crossover or straight on any of their ports.
Hope this helps.
