According to the number of networks, we have select the number pairs cable to connect. Generally now a days RX & TX both can be given for single pair with 10ghz speed. But we have check whether existing switch have fiber compatibility otherwise we have to go for fiber switch or media convertors atleast.

The first is a standard cable that connects a computer to a router or hub, and the second is called a crossover cable, connecting two computers together. The most prequently used LAN cbales nowadays areCat5 and Cat6 cables, which basically work the same way. Ethernet cable is used in a LAN connection.
