Classification of Devices:
The devices in networking has been divided into two groups which are mention below:
Group-1:
The group-1 devices included of :
- PC
- Server
- Router etc
Group-2:
The group-2 devices included of :

In order to communicate these devices with one another we will use mainly two types of cables, i.e straight Cable & Cross over cable. The straight cable is used for connecting the group-1 devices with group-2 while the cross cable is used for connecting the group-1 devices with group-1 or group-2 devices with group-2, i.e if we want to connect to different group devices then we will use a straight cable else we will use a cross over cable.
