Fiber Cables Direct FCD-12205-BK-1FT-XO Shielded Crossover Cat6 Plenum Patch Cable
Overview
The Fiber Cables Direct FCD-12205-BK-1FT-XO is a 1-foot, shielded Category 6 crossover patch cable designed for specific network configurations where direct device-to-device connections are required without an intervening switch. Its plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, meeting stringent fire safety codes in commercial and government facilities. The snagless boot design simplifies installation by preventing cable damage during insertion and removal, ensuring a reliable connection for critical surveillance or data networks.
Compatibility
This FCD-12205-BK-1FT-XO cable is engineered for direct crossover connections between similar network devices, such as connecting two computers directly or two switches back-to-back in certain legacy configurations. It is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and enterprise procurements that mandate adherence to the Trade Agreements Act. While standard Cat6 patch cables are used broadly, crossover functionality is specific and typically not required for modern network infrastructure that relies on Auto-MDI/MDIX ports.
Installation Notes
The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tab during installation, preventing accidental disengagement. The plenum-rated jacket (CMP) allows for installation within air-handling plenums without requiring conduit, provided local codes permit. Ensure the connected devices support or require a crossover connection; most modern network interfaces automatically adjust for straight-through or crossover cabling.
