INFO
As in most cases connections are established between an infrastructural
component and a terminal, switches/hubs are provided with an uplink port. An
uplink port allows to connect two infrastructural components using a straight-
through cable. Thus, the uplink port eliminates the need for a special crossover
cable. On some switches/hubs a switch is used to toggle the uplink port between
straight-through and crossover cable.
If the proper cable is not available, the uplink port of a switch/hub can be used.
Some devices are provided with an automatic crossover function which ensures
automatic adjustment to the cable and distant station.
