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

câble croisé

Definition from PC Entraide:
Se définit par opposition à un câble droit :

Example sentence(s):

Comment reconnaitre un cable droit et cable croisé Vous avez des cables ethernet a la maison mais comment reconnaitre un cable croisé d'un cable droit? Prenez les 2 extremités du cable et tournez les "bitonios" vers le bas. En mettant les extremités des cables cote à cote vous remarquerez le sens des fils. Si ceux-ci sont arrangés de la meme façon c'est un cable droit, a l'inverse si les fils apparaissent "désordonnés" c'est un cable croisé. - PC Entraide
