Monoprice Cat5eCrossover Patch Cable, UTP, 24AWG, 350MHz, Pure Bare Copper, Snagless RJ45, Fullboot Series Ethernet Cable

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 50µm gold plated contacts (short body). Most budget cables skimp with only 10µm. Each cable features color matched, snagless, strain relief boots.Features: Crossover cable connects two PCs directly together, without using a hub or switch in betweenUnshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Category 5e Ethernet Crossover cable24AWG stranded, pure bare copper conductors550MHz bandwidthSnagless cable boot protects the plug retaining clip50µm gold plated contactsMonoprice™ 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® TIA‑568‑C.2 fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in communications cables.CategoryCat5eCat6Cat6aCat8/8.2Standard Bandwidth/Frequency100MHz (Up to 350MHz)250MHz (up to 550MHz)350MHz (up to 550MHz)2000MHzMaximum Data Rate1000Mbps1Gbps10Gbps25GbpsShielding TypeUTP or STP (F/UTP)UTP or STP (F/UTP)UTP or STP (F/UTP)Sheilded (S/FTP) OnlyNetworks Supported1000Base-T1000Base-T10GBase-T25GBase-TDetailed.
