: personally, i've never used this term for it - normally i use "crossover"

I agree with Joel here.  The only term I've heard it called is
'cross-over'.  The cable itself is Universal Twisted Pair.  This is often
shortened to just Twisted Pair which may be where the
confusion arises.  The other common abreviation is UTP btw.
