InLine Crossover PC to PC Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e grey 0.3m

The InLine Crossover PC to PC Patch Cable is a 0.3 m SF/UTP Cat.5e cable designed for direct connection between two computers or for linking hubs and switches where a crossover wiring is required. Both ends terminate in RJ-45 connectors and the grey jacket gives the cable a neutral appearance suitable for office or home network environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP Cat.5e construction provides shielding against electromagnetic interference for more reliable data transmission over short distances. A 0.3 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for close-proximity connections. The RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and the crossover wiring allows direct device-to-device communication without an intermediate switch or hub.

Suitable for

• Direct PC-to-PC file transfer or networking
• Connecting two hubs or switches that require crossover wiring
• Short, tidy connections in small office or home setups

Key specifications

• Cable type: SF/UTP (shielded foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Category: Cat.5e
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (crossover wiring)
• Color: grey

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the two devices you want to connect. Ensure both devices are powered on and configured for direct network communication; most modern network interfaces will automatically negotiate connection settings. Use this cable for short-distance direct links where crossover wiring is required.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, direct connections only; avoid running the cable near strong sources of electromagnetic noise despite its shielding. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised.
