The Ethernet cables have two types:
Straight-through cable: used to connect devices of different types, such as a PC and a
switch/switch and router.
Crossover cable: used to connect devices of the same type, such as between 2
PCs/switches/routers, or between a PC and a router (they are divided into the same group)
