The gray crossover cable has the label "XOVER" molded in the plastic cover at each end. I highlighted it in red Sharpie so it would be obvious.
The prior years' crossover cables we have didn't come with any sort of label. I had put red electrical tape on the ends of one at some point, but either it didn't stick well or someone intentionally removed it.
