Cat6 Crossover Cable for Direct Device Links

This seven-foot Cat6 crossover patch cable connects two network devices directly without a switch or router. The orange jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or cabinet. It is built for installers and IT teams who need a reliable link for data, voice or video distribution between similar equipment ports.

Snagless Design Maintains Performance Under

The moulded snag-free clip protects the RJ45 latch during frequent insertion and removal, preventing the cable from catching on adjacent runs. Bonded pair construction preserves twist spacing right up to the connector, keeping near-end crosstalk low and impedance stable during sustained throughput. Each assembly is tested to meet TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 draft 9 requirements for 550 MHz bandwidth.

Crossover Wiring Is the Deciding Factor

This cable uses a crossover pin-out, so it only works when connecting two devices of the same type such as switch-to-switch or PC-to-PC. Buyers who need a standard straight-through patch cord for connecting a device to a switch or router cannot use this part.

Questions about this item

Does the Cat6 550 MHz rating mean the 7 ft cable runs hotter or draws more power than a standard patch lead?

No — the cable is completely passive and carries only the low-voltage Ethernet signal, so it generates no measurable heat and consumes no power of its own.

What devices must already have RJ45 ports for this crossover cable to work?

Both endpoints need an RJ45 Ethernet port — for example two PCs, two switches, or a PC and a legacy router — so the cable can link them directly without an intermediate switch.

Will the 550 MHz Cat6 crossover cable work reliably with older 100 MHz Cat5 equipment still in the rack?

Yes — the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support, so it functions normally with Cat5 or Cat5e gear at 100 MHz.
