Capitalism vs. Socialism. Capitalism and socialism are somewhat opposing schools of thought in economics. The central arguments in the socialism vs. capitalism debate are about economic equality and the role of government.
Crossover cables use two different wiring standards: one end uses the T568A wiring standard, and the other end uses the T568B wiring standard. To determine if you have a straight-through or crossover cable, compare the Ethernet cables to see if the colors are wired in the same order on each end. For more information on Ethernet wiring standards, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/network_cables_a_vs_b_pinout.
With Auto-MDIX straight-through cable and Ethernet, crossover cable can be used. Switches and hubs not having Auto-MDIX will typically have one port that will not cross the line or crossover. MDIX is a version of the medium dependent interface (MDI), which is a module of the media attachment unit (MAU). The MAU is a transceiver converting signals on an Ethernet cable for which it transmits and receives attachment unit interface (AUI) signals. The standard for the MDIX is the MDI standard.
