Twisted-Pair “Crossover” Cable for Hub-to-Hub Connection
For wiring between two hubs, the transmit and receive pairs must be reversed. The
twisted-pair wires must be twisted through the entire length of the cable. See
“Twisted-Pair Cable Pin Assignments” later in this chapter for a listing of the signals used
on each pin.
Note
Pins 1 and 2 on the hub 1 end must be wired through a twisted pair to
pins 3 and 6 on the hub 2 end. Pins 3 and 6 on the hub 1 end must be
wired through a twisted pair to pins 1 and 2 on the hub 2 end.
Pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are not used in this application, although they may be
wired in the cable.
A short crossover cable (like
the HP 92214W) can be used
to adapt a straight-through
twisted-pair cable for
“cascading” hubs through the
twisted-pair ports.
