Some commercial crossover cables are yellow, instead of the usual black
ethernet cabling.

Duh, I have several cables. I believe one is a cross over cable.
How do you know the difference?
Dwight,
You need to look at the wires in the pins in the plugs. Hold the
plugs side-by-side so that the copper connectors are facing you, and
are at the top of the plug, and that the cables fall toward the > ground.
If the wires in the pins are in the same order, it is a straight
cable. If two pair are reversed, it is a crossover. The wires need
not be in any specific order - it's just whether the ends match, or
whether 4 pins are reversed.
When I personally built cables, I built them like this:
1- white-orange
2- orange
3- white-green
4- blue
5- white-blue
6- green
7- white-brown
8- brown
For a straight cable, both ends would look like that. For a crossover
cable, one end would look like that, and the other would be ordered
like this:
1- white-orange
2- orange
3- white-blue
4- green
5- white-green
6- blue
7- white-brown
8- brown
