Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the matrix switcher to an Ethernet
LAN.
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
