Product Description

Connecting a Cat5 or Cat6 cable to a crossover adapter allows network equipment to communicate with each other directly

Use this adapter to connect two workstations together so files can be transferred or a printer shared If you need a long or short crossover cable instead, just use a patch cable

2-pack of adapters allows you to transform a network patch cable into a crossover cable for a reasonable price

In addition to excellent construction, this cable has gold-plated RJ45 connectors and a sturdy construction. Rich red color easily makes this cable identifiable in crowded toolkits or offices

Questions & Answers

Is it better to put one on each end or just one on one?

Installing on only one end is the only option. A cross over cable is made by attaching one of these adapters to an Ethernet cable that goes straight through

Despite the lack of rj45 ports on my computer, if I put the adapter into one of my RJ11 ports and plug an Ethernet cord into that, will this work as wired internet on my computer?

You can use the Ethernet ports on this adapter to connect two computers so that you can transfer files between them.

Do you think this would work with Cat7? It doesn't seem to make sense that it wouldn't. My only concern is making sure everything is okay before I purchase. ?

I'm glad to hear it. Cat6 and cat7 are basically the same except they transfer data at a different frequency!

I am using a cat 5 ethernet cable going directly from my router to my xbox 1 and would like to play computer games on my xbox 1. Should I use a crossover cable?

There is no need for a straight cable from the router to the computer (Xbox). Usually a crossover is used for the same devices (computer to computer/ switch to switch). Here are some tips that might be helpful

It works for the most part, but has Once it is attached to a standard network cable, it becomes a crossover cable

4/5

It works every time as a crossover and has no issues. The only minor issue is that it became a permanent attachment after about the 12th connection. It is now impossible for me to remove it from the 7 foot cable to which it is attached even with pliers and a great deal The retention clip releases, but the RJ-45 does not It seems as if 45 has become glued to him.

The best solution is to use a computer

5/5

If you need a cross reference, what should you do Have you tried over cable and can't seem to locate A lifesaving device is not necessary very often, but when one is needed it is usually for an emergency. I have not yet managed to figure out a good trick to keep a cross stitch It is handy to have cable over the Internet. No idea where I place it when I need So many times I have made this cable by hand that I don't even want to think about it any more. There was such an easy way to do this that we bought several extras that we gave away They are employees. I would much rather have a partial cable than a full one. I tested it by connecting two computers together, and no issues were encountered during communication.

Performance that is both solid and consistent

5/5

The 2-pack was the best deal for me As I thought my pack had been lost in my massive IT tool bag, I purchased a new one. Not at all. It was tucked away in a corner. In any case, I gave some of these to a few friends in my networking department for the lack of knowledge. Their testing results have been very good and they use them repeatedly with great results. They are very useful if you do not have an extension cable ready to connect a router directly to your.

What is the need for it? Today, I don't think you really need the proper cable since switches and routers are set up to take care of any problem you have with the cabling

The following tips will help you to turn straight when you need to That's the way to go, through cables and crossovers. Connections between switches appear to be working as intended.

Your networking issue is solved with a perfect solution

5/5

The cables are so small and are perfect! Now I don't have to carry a separate cable I would probably never use. To mitigate this, I can keep one of these in my toolkit at all times.

It is a handy adapter for Ethernet cross-over

5/5

For sharing an Internet connection between a FireTv device and a laptop, this is the perfect solution. When you are on the road, get your laptop on wireless in a hotel, connect your devices with this adapter (connected by a standard Ethernet cable), and fire up FireTV. There's no need for a complicated network setup-just use Windows 10 as a hotspot.

I am adapting

5/5

Does what it's supposed to do! Since the adapter stands out in such a bright color, I actually like the bright color. My wish would have been to have it labeled by the manufacturer, but who cares, I just labeled it with a printer.
