Monoprice Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable - 25 Feet - Red | Snagless RJ45 Stranded 350MHz UTP Pure Bare Copper Wire Crossover 24AWG

An Ethernet Crossover cable is used to connect two PCs directly together, without using a hub or switch in between. Monoprice Cat5e fixed length network cables are the perfect combination of value and performance. Each cable is made of 24AWG stranded pure copper conductor pairs with 50m gold plated contacts (short body). Most budget cables skimp with only 10m. Each cable features color matched, snagless, strain relief boots.

Features:


Crossover cable connects two PCs directly together, without using a hub or switch in between

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 5e Ethernet Crossover cable

24AWG stranded, pure bare copper conductors

550MHz bandwidth

Snagless cable boot protects the plug retaining clip

50m gold plated contacts



Monoprice Ethernet cables are made of 100% pure bare copper wire, as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, and are therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA568C. 2 fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in communications cables.

Ideal Use

Enhanced features with the best pricing for residential and commercial networking

A good budget option for new network builds with a bandwidth that can handle most small to medium-sized businesses

A good budget option for long network builds with a bandwidth that can handle most small to medium-sized businesses, best performance for servers data centers

Should only be considered coppered in-network environments where speed is very important.
