InLine Cat.5e Crossover Adapter direct to crossover 2x RJ45 female shielded

The InLine Crossover Adapter 69994A is a compact splice module with two RJ45 female shielded connectors that converts a standard LAN patch cable into a Crossover-type LAN cable for direct device-to-device connections. Its shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and supports stable data transmission while the silver finish integrates unobtrusively into networking setups.

Advantages

The adapter provides a quick, tool-free way to convert a straight-through Cat5e patch cable into a crossover cable. Shielding improves protection against external interference, and the two RJ45 female ports ensure compatibility with standard network cables. The compact metal housing offers a durable, space-saving solution for temporary or permanent crossover connections.

Suitable for

• Direct connection between two computers or network devices without a switch or hub
• Temporary network setups and testing where crossover wiring is required
• Workstations, small office networks, and field service diagnostics
