crossover cable

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

A network cable that crosses the transmit and receive lines. It is used to connect hubs and switches together using standard MDI-X ports, which are already crossover ports. The crossover cable crosses the lines first so that after the MDI-X crosses the lines, they are effectively back to a non-crossed condition. See MDI port and null modem cable.

Crossing Over!
The whole idea is to put the transmitted data onto the receive line of the receiving machine.
