  Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethernet crossover cable is a type of network cable used to connect computing devices together directly where they would normally be connected via a network switcher, hub or router.
A crossover cable must also be used to connect two internally crossed devices (e.g., two hubs) as the internal crossovers cancel each other out.
A 56K DDS cable uses T568B pairs 2 and 4, so a crossover cable for these devices swaps those pairs (pins 1, 2, 7, and 8 are connected to 7, 8, 1, and 2 respectively).
