Description

Signamax C5EX-112RD-7FB Cat 5e Crossover Patch Cord Red 7 ft.

Overview

The Signamax C5EX-112RD-7FB is a 7-foot, red Category 5e (Cat 5e) crossover patch cord. This cable is specifically designed for direct device-to-device network connections, bypassing the need for an active network switch or hub. Use this when connecting two similar network devices, such as two computers directly, or a computer to a router's console port for initial configuration. The red color aids in visual identification and cable management within complex network racks.

Compatibility

This Cat 5e crossover cable is compatible with all network devices utilizing standard RJ45 Ethernet ports that support direct device-to-device connections. This includes, but is not limited to, connecting two computers directly, connecting a computer to a network switch for initial setup, or linking certain network appliances where a crossover connection is explicitly required by the manufacturer's specifications. It adheres to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Cat 5e performance.

Installation Notes

Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or crushing, which can compromise its internal conductors and degrade performance. The 7-foot length provides flexibility for short-distance connections without excessive cable slack. Use standard RJ45 connectors for secure termination.
