English term or phrase: crossover cable

Definition from WatchGuard:
Ethernet cables have multiple wires inside them. Some are dedicated to sending; some are dedicated to receiving. A crossover cable is a special cable in which the receive and send wires cross so that the sending leads on one device can directly connect to the receiving leads on the other device. When WatchGuard encloses a crossover cable with its products, it is typically color-coded red for easy identification.

Example sentence(s):

Compared to standard Ethernet cables, the internal wiring of Ethernet crossover cables reverses the transmit and receive signals. About.com: Wireless / Networking
Ethernet crossover cables are commonly used for temporarily networking two devices in the absence of a network router, switch or hub. TechFAQ
Both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T use the same pins, a crossover cable made for one will also work with the other. MakeItSimple.com
