What type of ethernet cable is required to connect a switch to a powerline adapter
Question:
What type of ethernet cable is required to connect a switch to a powerline adapter?
In order to connect multiple devices at that location to the switch.
Can I use a regular 5e cable or do I need a 5e Crossover cable?
Thank you,
