Or switch to switch, so in this case he may have to if the port on the
router (or switch) is not auto-sensing.

or a change over switch, but as he's not told us the make/model etc I
suppose it's difficult to give a very accurate answer

It is a basic dabs.co.uk 8 port switch with some unknown brand called
Edimax. I'm only asking this as I am setting up a network and I have yet to
go out and buy cable.

If it's this one

it appears to be fully auto-sensing so no cross over cable required.
