Explanation

A rollover cable (also called a console cable) is used to connect a PC terminal to a router's console port. The cable pins are reversed at one end (pin 1 connects to pin 8, pin 2 to pin 7, etc.), which is required for the console connection. Straight-through cables connect different devices, while crossover cables connect similar devices.
