ACT Cable de red cruzado U/UTP CAT6A negro de 1m con conectores RJ45 (IB6201)

When two computers or switches need to communicate directly without a hub or uplink port, a standard patch cable won't work—you need a crossover cable. This ACT CAT6A crossover cable solves that problem, enabling direct device-to-device connections at 10 Gigabit speeds. Its 1-meter length is perfect for connecting nearby equipment, and the black/red jacket makes it easy to identify as a crossover cable.

Who is it for

Network technicians, IT professionals, and advanced home users who need to connect two devices directly—such as PC to PC, switch to switch, or router to router—without additional networking hardware. Ideal for temporary setups, testing, or permanent links where a crossover connection is required.

Main features

• CAT6A performance: supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Crossover wiring: enables direct device-to-device connections without a hub or switch
• U/UTP shielding: unshielded twisted pairs reduce crosstalk and interference in typical environments
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors: ensure reliable, corrosion-resistant connections
• Snagless boots: protect the locking tabs from damage during installation
• Durable PVC jacket: flexible and resistant to everyday wear
• Compact 1-meter length: reduces clutter and is ideal for short-distance links

Tips

Use this cable when connecting two similar devices directly, such as two computers or two switches. For connecting a computer to a wall outlet or a switch to a router, a standard straight-through patch cable is usually required. Always check your device documentation to confirm whether a crossover or straight-through cable is needed.
