Direct connection cable

The VCOM NP511B-7-GRAY is a Category 5E crossover cable designed to link two network devices directly without a switch or router. It suits installers and technicians who need a quick peer-to-peer link for testing, file transfers or temporary networking tasks.

Unshielded twisted-pair construction

The cable uses unshielded twisted pairs terminated with RJ45 connectors at both ends. Gray PVC jacketing protects the conductors during routine handling in office or bench environments. No external power or active electronics are involved, so the link draws no power and produces no noise.

Seven-foot patch lead for tight runs

At seven feet long the lead reaches between adjacent ports on a desk, rack shelf or bench without excess slack. The crossover wiring frees up a switch port that would otherwise be required for a direct device-to-device connection. The simple plug-and-play design works with any standard RJ45 Ethernet interface.

Questions about this item

How do I install the NP511B-7-GRAY and which step is often missed?

Plug each RJ45 connector firmly until the latch clicks; the step people miss is not seating the tab fully, leaving an intermittent link.

What maintenance or replacement will the NP511B-7-GRAY need over time?

Inspect the RJ45 latches and boot for cracks; replace the cable if the latch breaks or the jacket shows kinks that deform the pairs.

What limit appears first on the NP511B-7-GRAY during sustained heavy traffic?

The Cat 5E rating caps the link at 1 Gbps, so throughput hits that ceiling before the 7 ft length adds any measurable loss.
