Direct PC-to-PC Link

This Cat 5e crossover cable connects two computers directly without a switch or hub. It suits home users or technicians who need a simple LAN link between two desktops, two laptops or a Mac and a PC. The 15 ft length gives flexibility for desk or bench layouts.

Signal Quality Specs

Characteristic impedance is 100±15 Ω at 1–100 MHz and conductor resistance is 89.2 Ω/km at 20 °C. Bare stranded 24 AWG copper conductors and 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts maintain clean signals over the full run. Molded strain relief protects the terminations from repeated plugging.

Crossover Wiring Constraint

The cable uses a crossover pinout, so it will not work for standard uplinks to a router, switch or modem. Buyers who need a straight-through patch lead for normal network connections must choose a different cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 15 ft Cat 5E crossover cable without damaging the RJ45 connectors?

Press each RJ45 male connector firmly into the network port until the tab clicks; the snagless molded strain relief protects the latch during insertion and removal.

What maintenance or replacement will the 15 ft Cat 5E crossover cable need over time?

The 50 micron gold-plated connectors resist corrosion; inspect the blue jacket and strain relief periodically and replace the cable if conductors or connectors show physical damage.

What is the first limit that appears when the 15 ft Cat 5E crossover cable runs at 100 MHz continuously?

The characteristic impedance tolerance of 100±15 ohms and maximum conductor resistance of 89.2 ohms per kilometre define the signal integrity ceiling under sustained use.
