Most modern devices are auto-detect, but for the record like devices ( such as 2 switches) require a cross-over cable, and dislike devices ( a switch and a router) require straight through. Most modems => routers use straight through, but some especially combined modem/router units use cross-overs. Best bet is try it. If the lights do not illuminate, you have the wrong cable.
