Basicly you use whatever cable/connectors the card(s) "BOTH" support, be it
coax cable rj-45 or whatever.
Normally speaking one refers to a crossover cable when one talks of serial
communication from one com port to another on a remote machine.
So to answer your question in simple terms IF you mean an ethernet card, as
long as both ethernet cards have the same type of connector then it does
not matter what you use, the only exception to the rule is speed.
