Standards for Wiring
Modules automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable in a connection is wired as straight-through or
crossover. Operators may use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect a network interface
card (NIC), hub, router, or switch to these modules. This guide follows the EIA/TIA-568B colour code
standard.
