Type of networking cable
that connects two computers
or network
devices
directly to one another. When purchasing this type of cable, the
packaging must indicate that it's a crossover
cable for the required network interface,
otherwise, it's likely a typical straight through cable. Often, crossover
cables are used to connect two computers with network cards together
without using a network hub,
network router,
or network switch.
- Additional information about creating your own crossover
cable can be found on document
CH000639.
