Explanation

RJ-45 straight-through cables are used to connect different types of devices in a network. The standard practice is to use straight- through cables for connections that are unlike to each other, Switch-to-Router: A switch connects devices within a network by using MAC addresses to forward data to the correct destination. A router, on the other hand, connects multiple networks and uses IP addresses to determine the best path for the data packets. Connecting a switch to a router requires a straight-through cable because they are different types of devices. Switch-to- Server: Servers are the powerful computers that provide resources, data, services, or programs to the client machines in the network. When connecting a switch to a server, a straight- through cable is used because the switch and the server are different types of devices with different functions within the network.
