C2G 7ft Cat5e Crossover Ethernet Patch Cable (Red)

The C2G 24510 is a seven-foot Cat5e crossover Ethernet patch cable that lets you connect two computers or network devices directly, making peer-to-peer file sharing or quick system imaging simple and efficient. Because the transmit and receive pairs are crossed inside the cable, you can skip an external switch or hub when you need a rapid, temporary link between desktops, laptops, or even two switches for configuration and testing.

Inside the red PVC jacket you will find 24 AWG unshielded twisted pairs that meet Cat5e TIA/EIA standards. Each pair is bonded to keep twist spacing consistent, which helps control near-end crosstalk and maintains stable performance for data transfers. Standard RJ45 male connectors on both ends mean you can plug the cable into any Ethernet port without adapters.

The manageable seven-foot length offers enough slack for deskside setups, rack-to-rack connections in a lab, or a quick link on a test bench, yet it stays tidy in a laptop bag or technician kit. The bright red color stands out in crowded patch panels and cable bundles, so you can trace the connection at a glance when time is tight.
