C2G 25ft Cat5e Non-Booted Crossover Patch Cable (Orange)

The C2G 24515 is a 25 foot Cat5e crossover patch cable that lets two computers or other network devices talk to each other directly, without passing through a hub, switch, or router. If you need to copy large files between laptops on a workbench, build a quick test network in a lab, or link a desktop to a network-attached storage box for maintenance, this cable steps in with dependable performance.

Because the cable follows Cat5e TIA/EIA specifications, it supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps and keeps signal loss low. The unshielded twisted-pair construction limits interference and near-end crosstalk, so transfers stay steady even in rooms crowded with electronics.

The connectors are standard RJ45 male ends, wired in the crossover configuration that flips the transmit and receive pairs. This wiring removes the need for an auto-MDI-X port, which is helpful when you are dealing with older equipment. A non-booted plug keeps the head slim, making it easier to fit into tight patch panels or bulk cable bundles.

The jacket uses orange PVC, a choice that stands out in mixed cable runs and makes quick tracing simple during troubleshooting. Network technicians, IT students, and anyone running a small office or home lab will appreciate the clarity this color coding provides.
