No, traditionally a patch cable is a cable that you would use in a networking rack to connect (to "patch") from say a network switch to the desk outlets or to another switch. A patch cable would explicitly be NOT a crossover.
The main difference between patch and "normal" is that the former is using stranded conductors and the latter solid conductors.
That makes the patch cable more flexible (physically)
