An administrator is wiring some Cat 5 cable into a serial cable. Which of the following wiring types should the administrator use?

Rollover cables are specifically designed for console connections to network devices like routers and switches, mapping pins from one end to the opposite end (e.g., pin 1 to 8, 2 to 7, etc.) to allow a serial port on a computer to communicate with the device's console port.

Crossover cables are used to connect two devices of the same type directly (e.g., PC-to-PC, switch-to-switch) by crossing transmit and receive pairs, which is not suitable for a serial console connection.

EIA 568A on both ends describes a straight-through cable, which is used for connecting dissimilar network devices but not for serial console connections where pin reversal is required.

Straight-through cables connect dissimilar devices (e.g., computer to switch) without crossing internal wire pairs, which is incorrect for the pin-reversal required in a serial console connection.
