Ethernet cable is used to connect an network interface card (NIC) with a hub or Ethernet switch. Ethernet cables can be readily purchased from a computer store. They come in two categories, flat and braided. The flat, or solid, cable is used when there is a need for a longer cable run. However, it is not flexible; thus, its position is fixed. The braided cable is easier to use and is more flexible. However, it is useful only in places where a shorter cable run is needed. In the Ethernet cable pinout there are basically two cables: (1) the straight cable and (2) the crossover cable. The cables are color-coded. It is very important to connect the cables properly because improperly connected cables can lead to loss of Internet connectivity. The straight cables can be used to make a crossover cable when needed.
What Is Required For An Ethernet Cable Pinout
• Category 5/5e or 6 braided or solid cable (decide according to usage)
• RJ45 ends
• A crimper
• A wire cutter
