"Crossover" cables are usually marked on the conector as such, often with the indicia "X-OVER". The cable cordage itself is usually marked "Cat. 5 UTP Patch Cable" even if the cordage is actually being used in a crossover cable. This indicia is part of the cordage's legal description, and has nothing to do with the cable's function. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
