Connecting devices

Choosing the Connections icon from the device-type selection box lists several cables in the device-specific selection box. Packet Tracer provides the following cables that can be used to connect devices:

Console: This is a console cable that is used to view the network device's console from a PC/laptop. One end of the cable connects to the console port of a network device while the other one connects to the RS-232 port on a PC/laptop.
Copper straight-through: This is a standard Ethernet cable that is used to connect two devices that operate in different layers of the OSI model (such as hub to router and switch to PC). It can be used with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet port types.
Copper cross-over: This Ethernet cable connects devices operating in the same OSI layer (such as hub to hub, PC to PC, PC to router, and PC to printer). This cable can also be used with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet port types.
Fiber: This cable connects Fast Ethernet...
