Cat 5E Cross Over Cables

A crossover cable directly connects two network devices of the same type to each other over Ethernet. Ethernet crossover cables are commonly used when temporarily networking two devices in situations where a network router, switch or hub is not present. Compared to standard Ethernet cables, the internal wiring of Ethernet crossover cables reverses the transmit and receive signals. The reversed color-coded wires can be seen through the RJ-45 connectors at each end of the cable: Standard cables have an identical sequence of colored wires on each end Crossover cables have the 1st and 3rd wires (counting from left to right) crossed, and the 2nd and 6th wires crossed. Our CAT 5E Crossover Cable is available in 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 and 5 metre lengths.
