Direct computer-to-computer link

This Belkin Category 5e crossover cable connects two PCs, two Macs or two hubs directly without a switch. The 7 ft yellow jacket makes the run easy to trace in a busy rack or desk setup. It is built for 10 and 100Base-T networks and carries a lifetime warranty.

Crossover wiring for peer links

The cable uses a true crossover pinout so transmit and receive pairs swap automatically between the two RJ-45 male ends. Each connector has 50-micron gold-plated contacts to keep resistance low over repeated insertions. Molded strain relief protects the termination point from bending stress.

Steady throughput on legacy LANs

Because the design targets 10 and 100Base-T, sustained throughput stays within the 100 Mbps ceiling of the Category 5e rating. The unshielded twisted-pair construction resists crosstalk during continuous file transfers between workstations. Gold plating and strain relief keep signal integrity stable over long-term use.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 5e crossover rating mean when the cable is plugged into two PCs?

The Cat 5e crossover design lets two computers talk directly without a switch, supporting 10 and 100Base-T speeds over the 7 ft run.

Which interface standard do the RJ45 connectors follow, and what speed does that cap at?

Each end uses an RJ45 male connector built to IEEE 802.3, so the link is limited to the 100 Mbps ceiling of 100Base-T.

What physical clearance do the molded strain-relief boots need behind a PC or hub?

The gold-plated RJ45 plugs have molded strain relief that adds a short boot behind each connector, so allow a few centimetres of rear space for a clean bend.
