I recently cross crimped a cable to connect two pc's. however it shows cable disconnected on both the computers . I have tried clamping it many times and also checked the order of the cables.

my cable is 33m in length is that the problem? what is the limit for the cable length?

The cable is broken. Get it replaced.
