FAQs

What is the main purpose of the C2G 27823 Cat6 Crossover Cable?
The C2G 27823 Cat6 Crossover Cable is specifically designed for direct peer-to-peer computer connections without requiring a hub or switch. It can also be used to connect network switches and hubs that don't have uplink ports. This 10-foot cable supports data, voice, and video distribution for bandwidth-intensive applications.
What makes this cable "snagless" and why is that important?
The cable features a specially designed molded, snagless clip that prevents the cable from catching or snagging during installation while maintaining easy insertion and removal from ports. This design also provides superior strain relief, protecting the cable from damage even under excessive pulling conditions, which extends the cable's lifespan and ensures reliable network connections.
What are the speed limitations of this crossover cable?
This cable is specifically designed for 10/100 Ethernet connections only. It's important to note that it will not support Gigabit Ethernet speeds because only two pairs of the cable are crossed. Users should consider this limitation when planning their network infrastructure requirements.
What quality standards does this cable meet?
The C2G 27823 Cat6 cable meets all TIA/EIA Cat 6 standards and undergoes complete testing and quality inspection. It features enhanced design elements that reduce impedance and structural return loss (SRL), ensuring error-free data transmission across the network.
What are the connector types on this cable?
The cable features RJ-45 Male connectors on both ends. These industry-standard connectors ensure broad compatibility with common network devices and equipment, making it suitable for various networking applications.
