DIGITUS Crossover cable - Cat 5e - SF/UTP - Snagless - Cu - 2m - Grey

The DIGITUS Premium CAT 5e SF-UTP crossover patch cord (DK-1531-020-CO) is a 2 m grey network cable with RJ-45 connectors and copper conductors. Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 CAT5e standards, the cable supports a transfer frequency up to 100 MHz and is suitable for use with routers, switches, servers and other active or passive networking components. The length is printed on each connector and each cable is individually packed in a DIGITUS polybag.

Advantages

This SF-UTP crossover patch cord offers tested category 5e performance with shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors with copper plating ensure reliable data transmission for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. Compliance with ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 provides predictable channel performance within the specified CAT5e/Class D limits.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to routers or switches to switches (crossover use)
• 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network links
• Patch panels and structured cabling installations

How to use

Identify the network ports to be connected and plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until it clicks. Use the crossover cable when a direct device-to-device connection is required (for example router-to-router or switch-to-switch) without an auto MDI/MDI-X capable port. Ensure connectors and ports are free of debris before insertion and avoid sharp bends in the cable to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal results, keep cable runs within recommended length limits for structured cabling and avoid routing alongside power cables to minimise interference. Store individually packed cables in a dry environment and inspect connectors before deployment.
