Fast, fast, fast - for data/voice/video distribution! This patch cable ensures you always have the necessary throughput to handle today's and tomorrow's bandwidth-intensive applications. The crossed pin configuration allows you to connect two computers peer-to-peer without the need for a hub or switch. You can also use the crossover cable to connect network switches and hubs without an uplink port to other switches and hubs. Each cable is fully tested and quality inspected, and meets all TIA/EIA Cat 6 standards. , it drastically reduces both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) which ensures error-free transmission. Constructed from high quality cable and a shortened body plug, this design minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels. Our all-new molded, snagless clip prevents unwanted cable snags during installation without impairing your ability to insert and remove the connector from the port. It also provides unparalleled strain relief so that the cable is not damaged even when pulled excessively. Available in a variety of colors to easily color-code your network installation. Please Note: This cable is for 10/100 ethernet only and will not work for gigabit ethernet since only two pairs of this cable are crossed. Connector 1: (1) RJ-45 Male, Connector 2: (1) RJ-45 Male.
