An Ethernet switch can not fulfill the role of a router, unless it be a "layer 3 switch" also known as "multilayer switch", which has capabilities of both a switch and a router - and is more expensive than either (mainly because it is optimized for handling lots of traffic, quickly).
For a small network, you don't really need a router. Routers are used to divide larger networks into smaller subnets, for efficiency, security, and administration. Routers are also used to connect different branches of a company to headquarters, or to each other, via WAN technologies - the router's role, in this case, is to connect the Ethernet network of a company's branch, to a WAN technology.

What types of cables are used in paired connection of computers?
There are three types of cables used in paired connection of computers: crossover, straight-through, and rollover. Crossover cables are used to connect two devices directly, without a router or switch in between. Straight-through cables are typically used to connect a computer to a router or switch, while rollover cables are typically used to connect a modem to a router or switch.
What are the major pieces of networking equipment used to construct an Ethernet network?
ethernet cable, ethernet hub, crossover cable, router
What is a cross over cable used for?
crossover cables must be used between 2 devices from the same level like (pc & pc - Pc & router - router & router) but strait through cable used between 2 different levels like (pc & switch - router & switch )
