Direct LAN Link Cable

This Belkin Cat5e crossover cable connects two network devices directly without a switch or router. The 50 ft yellow jacket uses copper conductors and RJ45 male connectors wired to the IEEE 802.3 pinout. It meets the EIA/TIA-568 standard for twisted-pair cabling.

Suits Peer-to-Peer Builders

Ideal for technicians linking two PCs, two hubs or a Mac to a PC for temporary file transfers or diagnostics. Not for installers who need a straight-through patch cable to connect a computer to a wall jack, switch or router.

Crossover Wiring Decides Fit

The internal crossover pinout swaps transmit and receive pairs so two identical NICs can communicate directly. If your network topology requires a standard straight-through cable, this part will not work.

Questions about this item

What devices must I already have to use this Cat5e crossover cable?

You need two devices with RJ45 network ports such as two PCs, two hubs or a PC and a hub that you want to link directly without a switch.

Will this cable work if I keep my older hub alongside a newer PC?

Yes, the cable is designed for Hub-to-Hub and PC-to-PC connections so it will link an older hub to a newer PC as long as both have RJ45 ports.

How can I tell the cable is working after I plug it in?

The link LEDs on both RJ45 ports should light up and your operating system should show a connected network adapter.
