5ft (1.5m) Cat5e Non-Booted Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable - Red
5ft (1.5m) Cat5e UTP crossover patch cable in red, designed for peer-to-peer device networking
The C2G CG24503 is a 5ft (1.5m) Cat5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) crossover patch cable in red, specifically engineered for peer-to-peer networking. This cable features a crossed pin configuration, which allows two computers to be connected directly to share files or data without requiring an intermediary hub or switch. It is also an effective solution for connecting two network switches or hubs that lack an uplink port. Built to meet all Cat5e TIA/EIA standards, this cable is designed to minimize impedance and structural return loss (SRL). The individual copper pairs are bonded to maintain consistent twist-spacing through the termination point, which helps reduce Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels. This 24 AWG cable utilizes stranded copper conductors and a PVC jacket, making it suitable for operating in temperatures ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to 176°F (80°C).

Questions about this part
What is the purpose of the CG24503 crossover cable?
The CG24503 is used to connect two computers directly for file sharing or to link two switches that do not have uplink ports.
Will this cable work for a standard computer-to-switch connection?
This is a crossover cable for peer-to-peer connections; standard networking typically requires a straight-through cable rather than a crossover configuration.
What are the temperature limits for this Cat5e cable?
This cable is rated for operating temperatures between -4°F (-20°C) and 176°F (80°C).
What is the construction of the CG24503 cable?
The cable features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors with an HDPE insulation and a PVC jacket.
Is this cable compliant with environmental standards?
Yes, this product is compliant with RoHS, REACH, and CE certifications.
