Cat 6 Crossover Wiring, 24 AWG Bare Copper
Transmit and receive pairs are swapped end to end, so two like devices connect directly. Four twisted pairs of 24 AWG bare copper rated to the 250 MHz Cat 6 standard, carrying Gigabit Ethernet with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts on both ends.
For Direct Device-to-Device Links on Older Gear
Older network cards, hubs and switches without Auto-MDIX need a crossover cable to talk to each other directly. Use it for a quick PC to PC file transfer, a switch to switch uplink, or bench testing, with no router or switch in the middle.
Check Before You Buy: Most New Gear Needs a Standard Cable
Fits Cisco, Netgear, TP-Link, Linksys, D-Link, HP, Dell and Ubiquiti RJ45 ports. Quick check: PC to PC with no router - Yes. Switch to switch on legacy gear - Yes. PC, console or TV to router or modem - No, use a standard patch cable. Plenum run - No. Outdoor - No.
Snagless Boots Keep the Locking Tab From Snapping
The most common way a patch cable dies is the plastic release tab snapping off, after which the plug will not stay seated. Molded snagless boots cover that tab so it does not catch on a cable bundle or bench edge while you pull the cable out.
Sample-Tested Production, Cable Leader Direct Support
Each cable is sample-tested during production for continuity and wire map. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards. If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly, no manufacturer redirects.
