Cable - Crossover
A Crossover Ethernet cable is to wire one end using the
T-568A standard and the other end using the T-568B
standard.
Using Crossover:
Connect two hubs together Connect two Switch together
Connect two Router together Connect Hub with Switch

By looking at a T-568A UTP Ethernet straight-thru cable and an
Ethernet crossover cable with a T-568B end, we see that the TX
(transmitter) pins are connected to the corresponding RX
(receiver) pins, plus to plus and minus to minus. You can also see
that both the blue and brown wire pairs on pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 are
not used in either standard.

Fiber Optic
What are Fiber Optics?
Fiber optics (optical fibers) are long, thin strands of very pure glass about the
diameter of a human hair. They are arranged in bundles called optical cables and
used to transmit light signals over long distances.
If you look closely at a single optical fiber, you will see that it has the following
parts:
Core - Thin glass center of the fiber where the light travels
Cladding - Outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light
back into the core
Buffer coating - Plastic coating that protects the fiber from damage and
moisture
Hundreds or thousands of these optical fibers are arranged in bundles in optical
cables. The bundles are protected by the cable's outer covering, called a jacket.

Fiber Optic
Characteristics of Multi-Mode:
- Larger core diameter, usually 50 – 100 Micrometers, (62.5 most common)
- Cladding diameter, 125 microns.
- Widely used cable in LAN networks today
- Easier to terminate
- Transmitters and receivers are more economical
- Used at shorter distances
Characteristics of Single-Mode:
- Small core diameter, 8 to 12 microns
- Cladding diameter, 125 microns.
- Widely used cable in WAN networks today
- More difficult to terminate
- Transmitters and receivers are more expensive
- Typically used over long distances
