Connecting to Your Network Cable

Crossover Cables

A twisted pair or fiber optic crossover cable allows you to connect servers and workstations directly, without the use of a hub. When using crossover cables, we recommend you override line speed autosensing by selecting either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in your driver configuration. See Chapter 4, Installing Network Drivers, and Appendix B, Cables, for more information.
