The Internal Wiring Of A Crossover Patch Cable

Do you know the difference between a crossover patch cable and a normal patch cable? The difference is in the way the pins are wired. The internal wiring of the cable in a normal one go straight across. A crossover patch cable, on the other hand, has a pair of wires overlap each other from one end to the other. This allows data transmissions to be transmitted both directions without the need of a hub or router.
