I'm looking to get some serial cables to connect two WIC-1T back-to-back. Will these two cables do that for me?
If so, the male (top) is the DTE end, and the female (bottom) is the DCE end? Is this correct?

Those will work, but they make serial cables that are already crossed over. You don't have to buy separate DTE/DCE cables. Look at Monoprice.com or monoprice on ebay for cheap v.35 crossover cables.
Cable management can be a real pain with those back to back cables. PLus when you are trying to trace your cables to map out your topology, shorter cables are always more manageable.There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!
