It can? We have a 15m crossover but the longest straight cable is 4m iirc, with a belkin router and an ntl modem (think it's a 100, im at uni so can't check!) would the crossover work?

Yes. The NTL modem will sort it out.

Re: New install - ethernet cable too short?
This 200 has worked with both crossover or straight cables, even when swapping them while system is working/being used.
Now I have a crossover adapter for spares
