Types of Ethernet 4 pairs Twisted cable:



The Ethernet 4 pairs twisted cable is mainly divided into three categories:

1- Straight Cable:

This cable is mainly used for communicating b/w two different devices. It can be made very simple /easily. You should to keep the same color combination on both the ends of the connector. Here I am mentioning here the standard color combination which you had to keep on both the end:

2- Cross Over Cable:

This cable is mainly used for communication b/w two same devices. The color combination you should to make to make is to replace the 1 number cable at one end with the third number cable at the other end & the 2 number cable at the one end with the 6 number cable at the other end. You can use any color combination for it but the standard one use is what I am posting here:

3- Roll Over/Console Cable:

The console cable is mainly used for configuration of switches and routers. The one end of the console cable is RJ-45 and the other end is serial port connector DB-9. You connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the router/switch and the DB-9 connector to the serial port of the PC. It is green in color. You can also make a console cable from Ethernet cable if you don't have a console cable. The combination for console cable is given as under:
