any gig capable port has auto crossover built in. i haven't used a crossover cable in years
its built into the standard for GIG-E
"Although the Gigabit crossover is defined in the Gigabit Ethernet standard, in practice all Gigabit PHYs feature an auto-MDIX capability and are designed for compatibility with the existing 100BASE-TX crossovers. The IEEE-specified Gigabit crossover is generally seen as unnecessary."
