Crossover Ethernet cables are designed to connect two devices, such as computers, game machines directly. Standard Ethernet cables (called "straight through" as opposed to crossover) require that a device be connected to a switch or hub before communicating with another device. A crossover cable switches the wires, allowing the devices to bypass the hub or switch. * Certification: TIA/EIA * T568B (AT&T 258A) Wired * STP Shielded Twist Pair * CM Type PVC Jacket * 26AWG 4pair Stranded Copper Wire * 50 Micron Gold Plated RJ45 Plug * Gray color cable with Green boots * RoHS compliant
