“Can this cable be used for a patch crossover cable between two desktop PCs?”

1-3 of 3 Answers

• Crossover cable uses differ from those of regular Ethernet cables. While crossover cables do fall under the Ethernet cable category, these specialized cables are meant to directly connect two computing devices or two switches together. This connection is forged by crossing over (a.k.a. reversing) the pin contacts. The product listed here is NOT a crossover cable.

• most (NOT ALL) MODERN ethernet interfaces will detect the corssover and work fine. older interfaces will require an actual crossover (pin swap) cable.

• This Cat-6 cable offers a reliable connection between most PC and Mac computers, DSL/cable modems or other peripherals and a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet network. For Data Transfer, try the Insignia - 6' USB 3.0 File Transfer Cable - Black - Model: NS-PCK336C
