This Cat 5e network crossover patch cable is an ideal solution for connecting two computer to share files or data. The crossed pin configuration allows two computers to be connected peer-to-peer without the need for a hub or switch. This cable may also be used to connect network switches & hubs without an uplink port to other switches & hubs. This cable is constructed to meet all Cat 5e TIA/EIA standards, & has been designed to drastically reduce both impedance & structural return loss (SRL). Each of the individual pairs is bonded together to help maintain the twist-spacing throughout the line right up to the termination point. Constructed from high quality cable & a shortened body plug, this design minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels.
