What this cable does

This Cat 6 crossover patch cable connects two network devices directly without a switch or router. It carries data, voice and video signals at up to 550 MHz bandwidth. The 5 ft length suits short desktop or rack runs.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and produces no heat or noise. The snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 latch during insertion and removal. Bonded pair construction maintains twist spacing to the connector for consistent signal quality.

Behaviour under sustained load

The cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 specifications for Category 6 performance. Impedance and structural return loss are reduced compared to 100 MHz rated wire, supporting error-free transmission during continuous high-throughput use. Not suited for runs longer than 5 ft or installations requiring shielded cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 31381 Cat6 crossover cable and what is the common mistake to avoid?

Connect the RJ45 male plugs directly between two same-type devices such as two PCs or two switches; the common mistake is using a crossover cable where a straight-through patch cable is required for a PC-to-switch link.

What maintenance or replacement will the 31381 cable need over time?

The snagless moulded clip protects the latch from breakage during repeated inserts; if the clip snaps or the jacket is kinked, replace the whole 5 ft assembly — no field repair is possible.

What limit appears first on the 31381 Cat6 cable during sustained high-throughput use?

The 550 MHz bandwidth rating and 5 ft length set the practical ceiling; beyond that distance or frequency the cable no longer meets the Cat 6 TIA/EIA-568-B-2.1 draft 9 performance envelope.
