Right and standard compliant Straight and Crossover cable (UTP cable)

In building a computer network, you will know the term UTP cable. Then, what is the UTP cable? UTP or Unshielded Twisted Pair is a type of data cable that is often used to connect between the same device or different devices, such as computers with computers, computers with other devices (routers, switches, printers, servers, access points and hubs).

Most people use UTP cables only to limit building a LAN (Local Area Network) network. The price is relatively cheap and easy to obtain, making this UTP cable often used. However, according to the name of the UTP cable is not equipped with a protective (Unshielded) so that the cable is not resistant to the presence of electromagnetic interference.

UTP cables consist of cables that are arranged in between. Basically, the cables that will be compiled in number 8 with different color arrangement, where the cable is wrapped into 4 pairs. There are two models that are making UTP cable, straight and crossover. Do you know what is a straight or crossover model in the preparation of UTP cables?

In this article, it will be explained and discussed in detail about the understanding of straight cables and straight wiring arrangement. Discussed also about the understanding of crossover cables and crossover cable arrangement. Immediately, you can read more about this.

Standard UTP Cable
In general, there is an international standard used in the color sequence of UTP cable is TIA/EIA 568A and TIA/EIA 568B.
