Crossover Patch Cable Equip Cat.5e RJ-45 5m Black

The equip® Cat.5e SF/UTP Crossover Patch Cable (5 m) is a black network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Built to meet the EIA/TIA 568-B.2 channel standard, it combines SF/UTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to ensure stable, low-error data transmission in home and office networks.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion. The 5 m cable length offers flexible placement between devices; the crossover wiring allows direct connection between compatible network devices without a switch or hub.

Suitable for

• Direct device-to-device connections (PC to PC, switch to switch) where crossover wiring is required
• Home and small office Ethernet networks
• Situations requiring protection from interference (near power lines or electronic equipment)

Key specifications

• Standard: EIA/TIA 568-B.2 (Cat.5e)
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: SF/UTP
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.153 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of the first device and the other plug to the second device. Verify network settings on both devices to ensure the crossover cable is appropriate for the connection — some modern network interfaces support automatic MDI/MDIX and will adapt to straight or crossover cables automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, avoid tensile stress on the connectors, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines, and periodically inspect the plugs for dirt or damage. Replace the cable if insulation or connector integrity is compromised.
