Is crossover cable still needed? [closed]
Do I still need a crossover cable to connect two PC's directly? (NIC <-> NIC)?
If not, then why was this needed in the past, and when was it used for this? Specifically, when did crossover cables stop being needed to directly connect 2 PCs?
Solution 1:
Most (all?) current devices have implemented ethernet auto mdix. The answer is simple: You don't need such cable.
