> What’s the difference between a regular Ethernet cable and a Crossover cable?

A crossover cable has some of the leads switched, so that no hub is needed
to make that switch. You can generally connect two Ethernet devices directly
with a crossover cable, obviating the hub. The only reason this is uncommon
is that most networks, almost by definition, include more than two devices.
