A cross-over cable is used when connecting like devices together. Such as networking a computer-to-computer, a switch-to-switch, router-to-router, etc. The reason for this is because each RJ-45 port on the end device has wires which listen and send data. If you tried to connect a straight-though cable to network these devices, they would both talk on the opposite ends of the wires. For example, PC-1 will send data and PC-2 will receive that data on its "send" wire, instead of the "receive" wire.
