Difference between Cross Over Cables and Ethernet Cables
Walk into an electronics store and you will find a bewildering array of cables awaiting your purchasing pleasure. Some, like crossover cables and Ethernet cables, look identical to each other. What is the difference between them, and which cable do you need?
Uses
Crossover cables are used to connect two computers to each other without a hub, switch or router involved. Ethernet cables are used to connect two or more computers together using a hub, switch or router.
Appearance
Both crossover cables and Ethernet cables are constructed from UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cables consisting of eight colored wires within a single core.
Connectors
Both crossover cables and Ethernet cables use RJ-45 connectors on both ends of their cables.
Wiring schematic
Ethernet cables use the AT&T 258A (EIA/TIA 568B) wiring standard on both ends of the cable. Crossover cables use the same standard on one end of the cable, but the other end of the cable is wired differently, with four wires (white/green, green, white/orange and orange) connected to different pins in the RJ-45 connector.
Identification
Ethernet cables will be plainly marked with their category listing (Cat-5, Cat-6, etc.). Crossover cables are marked as such, either on the wiring itself or on the packaging.
