<P> An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly . It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type : e.g. two computers ( via their network interface controllers ) or two switches to each other . By contrast , patch cables or straight through cables are used to connect devices of different types , such as a computer to a network switch or Ethernet hub . </P>
