What this cable does

The Cables To Go 27862 is a Cat6 crossover patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is designed for direct device-to-device networking such as linking two computers or two switches without an intermediate hub. The 7 ft length suits bench testing and temporary desk connections.

Installing and common issues

The moulded snagless clip protects the locking tab during insertion and removal, reducing the chance of a broken latch. Because the pinout is crossed, plugging it into a standard uplink port on a modern switch will not pass traffic; verify that both endpoints expect a crossover configuration before troubleshooting.

Behaviour under sustained load

The cable is rated at 550 MHz and meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 draft 9 specifications, supporting Gigabit Ethernet throughput over the full 2.13 m run. Bonded pair construction maintains twist spacing to the termination, keeping near-end crosstalk low during continuous high-volume data, voice or video streams.
