Match up the two ends of the cable. Look closely at the color coding of the pins at both RJ-45 connectors. If the same colors are used in the same pin positions then the cable is a straight-through cable. If they are reversed at both ends then it is a cross-over cable.
Sometimes the cable will be marked that way on the outside covering of the cable. Look for the words "cross-over cable".
crossover cable is used to connect two switches.

A crossover cable reverses the signals at ends of the cable.
Crossover Cable (T568A on one end, T568B on the other)
Yes you can get a crossover cable for any of the Ethernet cable series on one end of the cable two of the smaller cables inside are crossed over so they are not straight through cables
I am assuming you have bulk cable available, RJ-45 connectors and a crimping tool. Wire one end of the cable using the T568-A wiring standard, and the other using T568-B. That's your crossover cable.
Is a crossover cable needed to connect Host computers to the switch? Why or why not?

A crossover cable.
Usually older Ethernet switches needed to be connected using a crossover cable. Now, most modern switches have auto-crossover feature that lets you use a straight Ethernet cable. You could also connect two computers using a crossover cable, but like with switches, most Ethernet interfaces on computers also support auto-crossover.
straight through is same pin out both ends. crossover has transmit and receive lines reversed
