14ft (4.25m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable - Orange
14ft Cat6 UTP crossover patch cable in orange with snagless RJ-45 connectors for peer-to-peer networking
The C2G CG27894 is a 14ft (4.3 m) Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) crossover patch cable designed for direct device-to-device connectivity. This orange cable features a crossed pin configuration, allowing two computers to be connected peer-to-peer for file or data sharing without the requirement of a hub or switch. It is also suitable for connecting network switches or hubs that lack an uplink port. Built to TIA/EIA Cat6 standards, this cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is engineered to reduce impedance and structural return loss (SRL) for error-free transmission. The snagless design incorporates a PVC connector hood that protects the clips from damage during insertion and removal while providing strain relief against excessive pulling. With a 0.24 in (6.2 mm) diameter and a 0.6 in (15.2 mm) bend radius, this stranded copper cable is suitable for various networking environments.
