We will use Crossover cable. When we have devices with same group like PC, Routers etc. We use cross cable. Connecting PC to switch or Router to switch involves straight cable. Rollover is a console cable.

you should use crossover. T568A<----->T568B

you should use cross over cable, the new Network interface cards "NIS" have auto MDI feature which can check your cable type and adjust the interface upon the cable type so you can use straight throw cables to connect tow PCs only if your NIC support auto MDI feature.
