Supporting Cisco Routing and Switching Network Devices (RSTECH) — Question 3
The colored wires at one end of a cable are in reverse sequence to the colored wires at the other end of the cable. Which cable does this configuration describe?
Answer options
- A. rolled
- B. crossover
- C. coaxial
- D. straight-through
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, as a crossover cable has its wires configured to connect different devices by reversing the order of the wires at each end. Options A (rolled) and D (straight-through) have the same wiring order at both ends, while option C (coaxial) refers to a different type of cable that does not use color-coded wires in the same way.
