A crossover cable has the RX and TX wire pairs switched around at one end. There are only two likely situations that would require a crossover cable: to connect two RAVE devices directly, without a repeater or other device in between; and to cascade repeaters or switches that don’t have uplink ports.
The wire in UTP cabling is twisted together in pairs. Rather than randomly choosing a wiring scheme for the networking cable, it is important to have the RX wires in one pair and the TX wires in another pair, especially in longer cable runs.
