• When connecting a workstation or server via a MAU (Media Access Unit) into a hub, you use a straight through cable. If you wish to connect two hub ports or two workstations together, you must use a swap cable, since both machines will try to transmit on the same pair, and receive on the same pair. A swap cable will route the transmit pair of one into the receive pair of the other. All 10BASE-T ports on MiLAN’s physical layer products except our hubs, are wired like a MAU transceiver ports that you will find on a convertor.
