C2G 25ft Cat5e Non-Booted UTP Crossover Patch Cable (Red)

The C2G 26709 is a Cat5e crossover patch cable that measures 25 feet and comes with non-booted RJ-45 connectors. It is built for moments when two Ethernet devices, such as computers or network switches, need to communicate directly without passing through a hub or switch.

Because the transmit and receive pairs are crossed inside the cable, the link negotiates automatically, saving the time and expense of additional hardware. This makes it useful for quick file transfers between desktops, linking switches that lack an uplink port, or setting up a temporary test bench on site.

Performance is anchored by construction that follows TIA/EIA Cat5e standards. The 24 AWG stranded copper pairs stay bonded to maintain their twist spacing, which keeps near-end crosstalk and return loss low. A shortened plug body further protects signal integrity, so data moves cleanly up to Gigabit speeds.

The PVC jacket shields the conductors from everyday wear, and the red color makes the run easy to spot in a crowded rack or along a wall. With no molded boot, the connectors pass through tight conduit or high-density patch panels without snagging.

Network administrators, field technicians, and home lab builders will appreciate the reliability of a cable that is CE and REACH compliant and backed by a lifetime warranty from C2G. Install it once, and count on a stable peer-to-peer connection whenever you need it.
