Fast, fast, fast - for data/voice/video distribution! This 550 MHz-rated patch cable ensures you always have the necessary throughput to handle today's and tomorrow's bandwidth-intensive applications. The crossed pin configuration allows you to connect two computers peer-to-peer without the need for a hub or switch. You can also use the crossover cable to connect network switches and hubs without an uplink port to other switches and hubs. Each cable is fully tested and quality inspected, and meets all EIA/TIA Cat 6 TIA/EIA- 568-B-2.1, draft 9 standards. When compared to standard 100 MHz wire, it drastically reduces both impedance and structural return loss (SRL) which ensures error-free transmission. Constructed from high-quality cable and a shortened body plug, this design minimizes Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels. Our all-new molded, snagless clip prevents unwanted cable snags during installation without impairing your ability to insert and remove the connector from the port. It also provides unparalleled strain relief so that the cable is not damaged even when pulled excessively. Available in a variety of colors to easily color-code your network installation. Connector 1: RJ45 Male Connector 2: RJ45 Male Please Note: This cable is for 10/100 ethernet only and will not work for gigabit ethernet since only two pairs of this cable are crossed.

Comments about Cables To Go 25ft Cat6 550 MHz Snagless Crossover Cable - Red:

It hasn't all four pairs crossed. Only green and orange pairs are swapped. It it not possible to use them at gigabit speeds. And make no sense swap only two pairs, since when crossing all four pairs, it works for both 10/100 and gigabit speeds (but it is mandatory crossing all four pairs for gigabit). And makes no sense buying a Cat6 cable for not use it at gigabit speeds.

Comments about Cables To Go 25ft Cat6 550 MHz Snagless Crossover Cable - Red:

I ordered this 5ft crossover cable [...] The cable itself worked with no problem. I hooked up two laptops (both running Vista) and was able to tranfer data between them quickly and with no error. (My alternative was to use my wireless network to transfer data, but making use of the direct crossover cable gave significantly faster data transfer rates.

Comments about Cables To Go 25ft Cat6 550 MHz Snagless Crossover Cable - Red:

My Squeezebox3 (by Logitech) is a wireless network music device that provides internet radio streams to my home theater sound system. I bought a network Bluray disk player that wants an ethernet connection to function with Netflix etc, but there is no RJ-45 socket anywhere near my hi-fi gear. Fortunately, the Squeezebox3 has a wireless bridge functionality that can be used, with a crossover cable, to provide network access to the Bluray player. Since the player is close to the Squeezebox3, a short crossover cable was all I needed, and this fit the bill perfectly. Over-long cords and cables that clutter up one's living room are nearly as annoying as too short. It's great to have a source for cables of whatever length is needed and not be restricted to the narrow choices available (if they have it at all) at the walk-in stores.

This is a great crossover cable. I have tried several others on my Riverbed Steelhead and none are giving us the solid consistent performance that this cable is. I highly recommend it!
