  vWhat is the cable:- It is networking hardware used to connect     one network device to other network device.It is connect two or    more than two computer to share printer, scanner, speaker, etc. 

   ·  It is used for high speed data

   ·   It has a two types :-

-TIA/EIA 568 A

-TIA/EIA 568B

568A used for home network & 568B used for enterprise network.

Only the differences between in two cables are the color order pairs.

568A	568B
Green (white)	Orange (white)
Green	orange
Orange (white)	Green (white)
Blue	blue
Blue (white )	Blue( white)
Orange	green
Brown (white)	Brown( white)
Brown	brown

Cables has a three parts :-

-Straight cable

-Cross cable

-Console cable

 1.  Straight cable:-  

-It has a 8 pin.

-It is used to connect different types of devices.

-It is used to connect host to switch or hub.

-It is used to connect router to switch or hub.

-It is used to connect computer to DSL modem.

-It is relatively simply to create.

-It is connect like a 1 to 1,2 to 2.

-This would be an Ethernet –only cable & wouldn’t work with voice ,token ring ,ISDN etc.

                FOR 568B straight cable:-

FOR 568A straight cable:-

 2.  Cross Cable:-

-It is used to connect same type of devices.

-It follows the 1-3 &2-6 rule , it means pin no. 1 is connected through the pin no. 3 or pin no. 2 is connected through the pin no. 6.

-It is used to connect directly two host.

-It is used to connect two switches or hubs are directly.

-It is used to connect routers to a switches or hubs for expanding network

 3.  Console cable:-

-This cable isn’t used to connect any Ethernet connection together.

-We can use this Ethernet cable to connect a router to a router by console serial communication port.

-If there has a CISCO router or switch ,would used to connect PC running hyper terminal to the cisco hardware.(in simply configuration ,reset & access the router)
