3ft (0.9m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable - Yellow
3ft (0.9m) Cat6 yellow crossover patch cable for peer-to-peer computer or switch-to-switch connections
The CG27871 is a 3ft (0.9m) Cat6 Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable in yellow. This cable is specifically designed for peer-to-peer connections, allowing two computers to share files or data directly without the need for a hub or switch. It also serves as a solution for connecting network switches and hubs that lack an uplink port to other network devices. This crossover cable features a crossed pin configuration to facilitate these direct connections and is fully tested to meet all TIA/EIA Cat6 standards. Built with copper stranded conductors and a 24 AWG wire gauge, the cable is engineered to reduce impedance and structural return loss (SRL) for error-free data transmission. The snagless design features a PVC connector hood to protect the clips from damage during installation and removal while providing strain relief. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and operates within a temperature range of -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C).
