    A crossover cable is just a network cable that has twisted pairs of wires instead of straight wires going into the jack plug, these are used for connecting 2 devices so they can talk to each other.

    You can get them on Ebay for about ?1 plus p&p.

      you need a crossover cable to have your DB attached straight to your comp. You can have a normal patch cable if you are using a router
