14ft (4.25m) Cat5e Non-Booted Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable - Red
Red 14ft Cat5e UTP crossover patch cable for direct peer-to-peer computer or switch-to-switch connections
The C2G CG26706 is a 14 ft (4.3 m) Cat5e UTP network crossover patch cable in red, specifically engineered for peer-to-peer networking. This cable features a crossed pin configuration, allowing two computers to connect and share files or data directly without the requirement of an intermediary hub or switch. It is also suitable for connecting network switches or hubs that lack an uplink port to other networking equipment. Constructed with stranded copper conductors and a 24 AWG wire gauge, this cable is built to meet all Cat5e TIA/EIA standards. The design focuses on reducing impedance and structural return loss (SRL) by bonding individual pairs to maintain twist-spacing through the termination point. This construction, combined with a non-booted, shortened body plug, is intended to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels. This unshielded cable operates within a temperature range of -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C) and utilizes a PVC jacket and HDPE insulation.
