2. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

   An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other. By contrast, straight through patch cables are used to connect devices of ...

3. Category 3 cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_3_cable

   Category 3 cable. Category 3 cable, commonly known as Cat 3 or station wire, and less commonly known as VG or voice-grade[1] (as, for example, in 100BaseVG), is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable used in telephone wiring. It is part of a family of standards defined jointly by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and the ...

4. ANSI/TIA-568 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI/TIA-568

   A cable terminated according to T568A on one end and T568B on the other is a crossover cable when used with the earlier twisted-pair Ethernet standards that use only two of the pairs because the pairs used happen to be pairs 2 and 3, the same pairs on which T568A and T568B differ. Crossover cables are occasionally needed for 10BASE-T and ...

5. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

   Ethernet over twisted-pair technologies use twisted-pair cables for the physical layer of an Ethernet computer network. They are a subset of all Ethernet physical layers. Early Ethernet used various grades of coaxial cable, but in 1984, StarLAN showed the potential of simple unshielded twisted pair. This led to the development of 10BASE-T and ...

6. Networking cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

   Networking cable is a piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners. Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's topology ...

7. Ethernet physical layer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer

   Cat-3: Runs over four wires (two twisted pairs). A repeater hub or switch sits in the middle and has a port for each node. This is also the configuration used for 100BASE-T. Copper twisted pair cabling, star topology – direct evolution of 1BASE-5. As of 2024, still widely supported. 10BASE-Te: 802.3az-2010 (14) 100 m Cat-5

8. Power over Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet

   In this configuration, an Ethernet connection includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) (gray cable looping below), and a PoE splitter provides a separate data cable (gray, looping above) and power cable (black, also looping above) for a wireless access point. The splitter is the silver and black box in the middle between the wiring junction box (left ...

9. IEEE 802.3 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.3

   This is generally a local area network (LAN) technology with some wide area network (WAN) applications. Physical connections are made between nodes and/or infrastructure devices (hubs, switches, routers) by various types of copper or fiber cable. 802.3 is a technology that supports the IEEE 802.1 network architecture.
