ETHERNET CABLES
Standard Ethernet cables are available commercially in different lengths. The
standard cable is wired pin for pin (straight through), meaning that pin 1 of the
connector at one cable end is wired to pin 1 of the connector at the opposite end.
This type of cable is used to connect Quadra directly to the network, typically
using an Ethernet hub or switch. To connect directly from a PC to the Quadra,
a crossover cable must be used (see the following section for details).
