Er, it is *probably* not a crossover cable. I guess there could be
some
pathologic DIYer who uses patch cable but wires it up in reverse.
My crossover
cables actually say CROSSOVER on them, however.

Easiest way is to hold the two ends of the cable together, in the
same position, and look at the colored wires through the connectors.
If the wires are the same in both, you have a "regular" cable. If
not, you most likely have a "crossover" cable.
