Frequent Ask Questions

• What is the Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER Ethernet Cross-Over Cable used for?

  The Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER Ethernet Cross-Over Cable is used to directly connect two network devices without the need for an intermediary hub, switch, or router. This can be useful for connecting two computers, two network hardware devices, or other Ethernet-enabled devices for direct communication.

• What type of connections can the Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER support?

  The Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER supports Ethernet connections and is designed for scenarios that require a crossover configuration, such as connecting similar network devices directly to each other.

• How does a cross-over cable differ from a standard Ethernet cable?

  A crossover cable differs from a standard Ethernet cable (straight-through cable) in that it reverses (crosses over) the transmit and receive signal pairs. This configuration allows two devices of the same type to communicate directly.

• What devices are compatible with the Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER cable?

  The Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER Ethernet Cross-Over Cable is compatible with most Ethernet-enabled devices, including computers, routers, switches, and other networking hardware that require a crossover connection.

• What are the physical characteristics of the Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER?

  The Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER cable is designed to meet Ethernet cabling standards, typically featuring RJ45 connectors on each end. It is constructed for durability and reliable performance in networking environments.

• How do I identify a Cisco CAB-ETHXOVER Ethernet Cross-Over Cable?

  You can identify a crossover cable by examining the color-coded wires inside the RJ45 connectors. In a crossover cable, the transmit and receive pairs are swapped at one end. For example, pins 1 and 3, and pins 2 and 6 are typically crossed over.

• Can I use a crossover cable in place of a standard Ethernet cable?

  Crossover cables are specifically designed for direct device-to-device connections and are not typically used in place of standard Ethernet cables for network connections through hubs, switches, or routers. However, many modern devices can automatically detect and adapt to either type of cable via Auto-MDIX technology.
