UTP Cable Wiring

10BASE-T unshielded twisted-pair cables can be wired as "Straight-Through" or, in some cases, "Crossover" depending on the application. For workstations connected to a hub, use "Straight-Through' wiring illustrated in Table B-2. In some instances, you may want to use "Crossover" wiring illustrated below in Table B-3.
