Explanation
A straight-through cable is used to connect unlike network devices-for example, a PC to a switch, or a hub to a patch panel. A patch panel is a passive termination point that connects structured cabling runs to the network equipment, and it is treated as an 'unlike' device relative to a hub. A crossover cable connects like devices directly (hub to hub, switch to switch, PC to PC) by swapping the transmit and receive pairs. A rollover (console) cable is used to connect a PC's serial port to a router/switch console port for management. A T1 crossover cable is specific to T1 WAN interfaces and is unrelated to LAN patch connections.
