Cisco routers will use serial cables for connecting using their serial interfaces (typically frame relay). In home labs, you may connect Cisco router seral interfaces directly with a DTE/DCE cable.
Crossover calbes are used to connect two like devices, typically two switches.
Rollover cables are used to connect a laptop's seral port to the router or swithch COnsole port.
Straightthrough cables are used to connect a PC to a switchport.
Watch the cable types and the cable lengths - any cable over 100 meters is cause for alarm.
