C2G 7ft (2.1m) Cat6 Snagless Unshielded (UTP) Network Crossover Patch Cable, Orange

Overview

The C2G 27892 is a 7-foot Cat6 crossover patch cable designed to connect two Ethernet devices directly without the need for a hub or switch. It supports bandwidths up to 550 MHz, enabling reliable Gigabit Ethernet speeds with extra capacity for demanding data transfers. The cable’s bright orange jacket makes it easy to identify in busy network setups, while its unshielded twisted pair design ensures clean signal transmission by minimizing near-end crosstalk.

Key features

• Crossover pin layout allows direct device-to-device connections, ideal for linking computers or switches without uplink ports.
• Molded snagless boot protects the RJ45 clip during installation and prevents damage when pulling through tight spaces.
• Flexible PVC jacket combined with integral strain relief resists kinks and repeated bending for long-lasting durability.
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain strong signal integrity and consistent data flow.
• Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 80 °C, suitable for various environments.
• Complies with REACH standards and carries CE certification, ensuring safety and environmental responsibility.

Connectivity and compatibility

This crossover cable is designed to connect two Ethernet-enabled devices directly, such as computers, switches, or hubs that do not have dedicated uplink ports. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for fast file transfers and network testing setups. The RJ45 connectors with snagless boots ensure secure and protected connections in both professional and home environments.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable works well for network technicians setting up test benches, IT managers extending small office networks, and home users needing a direct PC-to-PC link for transferring large media files. Its durable design and temperature tolerance make it a strong choice for both indoor office racks and less controlled environments where cables may be moved or adjusted frequently.
