EFB ECOLAN Cable de red Crossover Cat.5e SF/UTP, RJ45, CCA, PVC, gris, 0,5m

This crossover patch cable stands apart from standard straight-through cables by swapping the transmit and receive pairs internally, enabling direct connections between two computers or two switches without an extra hub. The EFB ECOLAN series pairs that functionality with a screened foiled twisted pair construction, so signal integrity holds up even in electrically noisy environments. At half a metre, it is ideal for tight rack links or desktop peer-to-peer setups where cable clutter must stay minimal.

Highlights

• Crossover wiring for PC-to-PC or switch-to-switch links
• Cat.5e performance up to 100 MHz and Gigabit Ethernet
• SF/UTP shielding: braided screen plus foil around twisted pairs
• CCA conductors keep cost low while maintaining signal quality
• Durable PVC jacket with red strain-relief boots for easy identification

In daily use

The grey jacket blends into office and server room environments, while the red boots make crossover cables instantly recognisable among a pile of standard patch leads. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist oxidation and maintain a reliable connection over repeated insertions. The 0.5 m length is perfect for directly linking adjacent devices, reducing excess cable loops and improving airflow in racks. Because it is a crossover cable, it is not intended for normal switch-to-PC connections; keep it labelled for direct device-to-device tasks.
