FAQs

What is the main purpose of the C2G 27862 Cat6 Ethernet crossover cable?
The C2G 27862 Cat6 crossover cable is primarily designed for direct computer-to-computer connections for file and data sharing without requiring a hub or switch. It can also be used to connect network switches and hubs that don't have uplink ports to other networking equipment. The crossed pin configuration enables direct peer-to-peer connectivity.
What are the key specifications of this Ethernet cable?
This Cat6 cable operates at 550 MHz frequency and supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It's 3 feet in length, features a red color design, and comes with snagless connectors. The cable meets all TIA/EIA Cat6 standards and is specifically engineered to reduce impedance and structural return loss (SRL) for error-free data transmission.
What makes this cable "snagless" and why is that important?
The cable features a molded, snagless connector design that prevents the locking tab from catching or breaking during installation and cable routing. This design is important because it protects the connector while maintaining easy insertion and removal from ports, extending the cable's lifespan and making installation easier, especially in tight spaces or crowded network installations.
How does this cable handle signal interference?
The cable is designed with advanced features to minimize signal interference. It specifically reduces Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels through high-quality cable construction and a shortened body plug design. Additionally, the cable's engineering reduces both impedance and structural return loss (SRL), ensuring reliable and error-free data transmission.
What type of connections can this crossover cable be used for?
This crossover cable can be used for: 1) Direct computer-to-computer connections for file sharing, 2) Connecting network switches and hubs without uplink ports to other switches and hubs, 3) Creating peer-to-peer networks without additional networking equipment. The crossed pin configuration makes it versatile for direct device connections.
