> **交叉电缆的定义**
> 
> A cross-over cable is typically used between devices with the same type of interface (i.e. computer to computer, router to router). Ethernet cables are usually made as an A or B-type interface (which simply means how it is wired).
> 
> 具有相同接口类型的设备(即计算机到计算机，路由器到路由器)之间通常使用交叉电缆。 以太网电缆通常制成A型或B型接口(这仅表示其接线方式)。

> A cross-over cable simply has an A-type on one end and a B-type on the other end.

> Basically, what is happening is that the “send” and “receive” are switched so that one of the devices “send” wires goes to the other device’s “receive” wire, and visa versa with the other wire. In reality, the wires are in pairs, so there are two wires for send and two wires for receive.
> 
> 基本上，发生的事情是切换了“发送”和“接收”，以便其中一个设备“发送”电线转到另一设备的“接收”电线，反之亦然。 实际上，电线是成对的，因此有两根电线用于发送，两根电线用于接收。
> 
> If you were to use a straight-through cable (where the wires are all-in-line), then a “send” would be going to a “send” and a “receive” to a “receive”, so the devices would not be able to communicate.
> 
> 如果您使用直通电缆(所有电线都为一字排线)，则“发送”将变为“发送”，“接收”变为“接收”，因此设备将无法沟通。
> 
> **Auto MDI-X**
> 
> **自动MDI-X**
> 
> Keep in mind that many modern devices use Auto MDI-X, which is a way for a device to automatically switch the wiring method on its own. If either device on the two ends of the Ethernet cable have Auto MDI-X, then it does not matter if you use a cross-over or straight-through cable. Auto MDI-X was introduced in Gigabit Ethernet, so if either of your devices uses Gigabit, such as routers or computers, it has an extremely high chance of having Auto MDI-X already on it.
> 
> 请记住，许多现代设备都使用Auto MDI-X，这是设备自行自动切换接线方法的一种方式。 如果以太网电缆两端的任一设备都具有Auto MDI-X，则使用交叉电缆或直通电缆都没有关系。 Auto MDI-X是在千兆位以太网中引入的，因此，如果您的任何设备(例如路由器或计算机)都使用千兆位，则极有可能已经安装了Auto MDI-X。
