What are disadvantages of cross over cable in computer network?

Crossover cables can only connect similar devices, such as switch to switch or router to router, limiting their versatility. They are also less common in modern networking, as most devices now use auto-MDI/MDIX technology, which automatically adjusts the connection type, making crossover cables largely unnecessary. Additionally, managing and maintaining a variety of cable types can complicate network setups and troubleshooting. Lastly, if a crossover cable is mistakenly used in the wrong context, it can lead to connectivity issues.
