2 TYPES OF NETWORK CABLING


NETWORK CABLING 
Means creating a cable in a network .Using these two types of cabling we are able to share files from one computer to another computer. These cables will help the computer to locate the other computer. But now they are using wifi connection to connect computer from another computer but I prefer to use network cabling ,coz the performance of the network is faster than using wifi specially when wifi encounter problems.

STRAIGHT CABLES

Use straight cables when using a hub, switch, or router - as the internal circuitry switches these over when it routes to another computer. This is a common type of cable specially in networking using server connect this cables from router and switches in order to connect in a network. You can use the color combination WO, Orange, WG, Blue, WB, Green, WBrown, and Brown for straight cable

CROSSOVER CABLES
Crossover cables are only used when connecting a PC directly to another PC. The crossover signifies the switching of the receive / transmit wires at the other end. What one computer sends is directly fed into the receiving port of the other (vice versa).This is what we called PC top PC networking you can easily get the files from one computer using this crossover cable
