InLine Crossover PC to PC Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e grey 10m

The InLine Crossover Patch Cable 72501L is a 10 m Cat.5e F/UTP cable designed to connect two computers or network devices directly without a switch. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a grey jacket that fits typical home and office installations. The cable meets Cat.5e standards and includes foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference for more stable data transmission.

Advantages

Provides a ready-made crossover wiring for direct PC-to-PC or hub-to-hub connections, reducing the need for additional network hardware. F/UTP (foiled twisted pair) shielding helps suppress external interference, while Cat.5e specification supports typical Ethernet speeds and reliable signal quality. The 10 m length offers flexibility in device placement and the RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Direct connection between two computers (PC-to-PC)
• Connecting two hubs or switches without uplink ports
• Temporary network setups and workstation relocation
• Home and small office Ethernet connections

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the first computer or network device and the other RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the second device. Ensure both devices are powered on and network settings are configured for direct connection (for example, adjust IP addresses if necessary). Use the cable for temporary or permanent direct links where a network switch is not required.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near strong electromagnetic sources. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised. In environments with high interference, consider shielded cabling and proper grounding.
