If you look at the colours on both ends - if they are in the same sequence both ends then its not a X-over cable

Straight. You only crossover if you are connecting PC-PC or SACM (well the SACM is designed to take both)

Hm, could I have misread the question? I thought it was whether you need x-over or straight, but I guess the other reading makes more sense ;)

Edit: ah, at least I'm not alone...
