It has the send and receive data wires crossed over like a null modem cable to allow you normally to either connect two PCs directly together or a switch to a switch, some modems have straight ports as well as the PC so you will need a Crossover cable, these can be found at most good retailers and can be made quite simply yourself with the right tools, they are usually bright yellow when bought from a retailer.
