When to use straight-through and cross-over cable:

ENI Ethernet port to 10Base-T Ethernet switch cables utilize a straight-through pin-out (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 6-6).

Direct point-to-point 10Base-T cables connecting the ENI Ethernet port directly to another ENI Ethernet port (or a computer 10Base-T port) require a cross-over pin-out (1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 6-2).
