Me too. Patch Cables have the pins rearranged to crossover. Very different than the intended meaning.
EDIT: I take back the patch cable part..Someone at school used "patch cable" when they meant "crossover". I looked it up and I see that a Patch cable is just an Ethernet cable with the pins set for 768-b. Whups! I should have checked that first, I'm embarassed. We don't use "patch cable often here that I know of, so the one time I remember hearing it, it was used incorrectly. My apologies.
