5′ Cat5e X-over Patch Cable With Boots | Red

The 5′ Cat5e X-Over Patch Cable With Boots | Red provides a convenient Ethernet connection for compatible network devices requiring a crossover (X-over) cable configuration. Featuring Cat5e construction, RJ45 connectors with protective boots, and a red jacket, this network patch cord is useful for direct device-to-device connections and professional network troubleshooting applications.

Unlike a standard straight-through Ethernet patch cable, the crossover wiring configuration crosses the appropriate transmit and receive pairs between the connectors. This allows compatible devices to communicate directly in applications where crossover wiring is required, making the cable a useful addition to network installation, service, testing, and maintenance kits.

The booted RJ45 connectors provide added protection around the connector locking tabs, helping reduce snagging and accidental tab damage during routing, installation, or removal. The boots also provide additional strain relief where the cable enters each connector.

At 5 feet in length, this Cat5e crossover patch cable offers practical reach for nearby network equipment without creating excessive cable slack. Its red jacket provides immediate visual identification, helping installers distinguish crossover connections from standard Ethernet patch cables within racks, work areas, and network environments.
