Why do cross over and straight through cables work on some home routers?

A feature named Auto-MDIX (Medium Dependant Interface Crossover) allows a network device such as a router or PC, to auto sense what type of cable is connected to the device and what type of cable should be used. If it detects the wrong cable, the device will simply reconfigure itself automatically so that it is compatible with the connected cable.
This feature is found on the majority of new network devices, meaning the requirement for a specific cable is less important.

What cable will use for connecting switch to switch?
Most switches and routers these days allow for a standard straight through cable to connect each other. (So any CAT 5e or 6 cable you find at Best Buy will be fine) Older devices (Such as a Cisco 2900xl switch) require a cross over cable to connect like devices such as a switch to switch. These cables can also be found at Best Buy and will be clearly labeled "Cross Over". There are two different standards of straight through cables if making your own. See the related link. To make a cross over cable, wire one end with the A standard and the other with the B standard.
