    Is etched in my memory. Swap oranges and greens to go between style A and B, do it on one end for a crossover.

      ^ This. There are A and B standards, and each standard has its own crossover. But there is also a crossover between A and B standards, which is typically what is used when referring to crossover cables.

      In other words:

      Not A-to-A xover

      Not B-to-B xover

      xover A-to-B
