5ft (1.5m) Cat5e Non-Booted Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable - Yellow
5ft Cat5e crossover patch cable in yellow, featuring RJ-45 male connectors for direct device-to-device networking
The CG24504 is a 5ft (1.5m) Cat5e crossover patch cable designed to facilitate direct peer-to-peer connections between two computers for file or data sharing. This specific wiring configuration allows for connecting two computers together without the requirement of an intermediary hub or switch. Additionally, this yellow crossover cable can be used to link network switches or hubs that lack an uplink port. This cable is constructed using stranded copper conductors and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation to maintain consistent twist-spacing throughout the line. This design helps to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels, structural return loss (SRL), and impedance. The cable features a non-booted, non-shielded (UTP) design with a 0.21 in (5.3 mm) diameter and is rated for a bandwidth of 350 mHz. Operating within a temperature range of -4° to 176°F (-20° to 80°C), this cable is a reliable solution for specialized networking tasks. This SKU is part of a larger series of crossover cables available in various lengths up to 100ft and multiple colors.
