How does cross over cable look?

There are several types of cross-over cables. The basic idea is to connect two devices that are alike - for example, connection a router to another router. both of these devices use the same wires in a cable (ex. a CAT6 cable) to send and receive data. so, in order for them to communicate you have to cross the wires so that the send wire on one side goes to the receive pin on the other. To summarize, all you do is switch the appropriate send and receive wires in a cable.

Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic. <><><> Armored cable (BX) is the older version of Metal Clad cable (MC). It was flexible steel covered wire that used the steel as it's Ground. BX was a poor grounding system so it was replaced with MC which looks similar but has a separate Grounding conductor. MC is most often made with aluminum as its cover. Armored cable if used today will refer to MC type wiring. <><><> Some kinds of armored cable are in fact made to a tougher standard than the ordinary soft wire strand types of shielded cable that are used for hooking-up antennas. The 'armor' is actually a thin flexible metal film that better protects the wire or wires inside from damage in high use or high traffic areas. Such kinds of armored cable are also used in radio frequency assemblies in electronic equipment.
