5ft (1.5m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded UTP Network Crossover Patch Cable - Gray
5ft Cat6 crossover patch cable for peer-to-peer device connections, unshielded UTP with snagless connectors in gray
The CG31380 is a 5ft (1.5m) Cat6 snagless unshielded UTP network crossover patch cable in gray, specifically engineered for peer-to-peer connectivity. This cable uses a crossed pin configuration that allows two computers to share files or data directly without the requirement of a hub or switch. It is also an effective solution for connecting network switches or hubs that lack uplink ports to other network devices. This crossover cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is built to meet all TIA/EIA Cat6 standards, featuring a 500 mHz bandwidth. The design incorporates a shortened body plug to minimize Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels and reduce impedance and structural return loss (SRL) for error-free transmission. Each cable features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a snagless PVC connector hood to protect the clips during frequent insertion and removal. This 0.24 in (6.2 mm) diameter cable is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to 176°F (80°C).
