Ethernet crossover patch cord Neutralle Cat.5e RJ45 M–RJ45 M 5 m unshielded gray

Neutralle Cat.5e crossover UTP patch cord, 5 m long, with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. This unshielded twisted pair cable is built to Cat.5e performance standards and is intended for direct device-to-device Ethernet connections where crossover wiring is required. The gray PVC jacket provides basic mechanical protection and makes the cable suitable for short links in home and small-office network setups.

Advantages

The cable implements Cat.5e wiring and a crossover pinout to permit direct connection between two network devices without an intermediate switch or hub. Unshielded construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in confined spaces. Standard RJ45 male connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with common Ethernet ports and simple plug-and-play use. The 5 m length offers a balance between reach and manageable cable routing for desktop or floor-level installations.

Suitable for

• Direct PC-to-PC or device-to-device Ethernet connections
• Small office setups requiring a temporary or fixed crossover link
• Home networks for connecting routers, switches, or compatible devices when crossover wiring is needed
• Testing and troubleshooting network ports or configurations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e (unshielded twisted pair, UTP)
• Pinout: crossover wiring
• Connector type: RJ45 male — both ends
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket color and material: gray PVC
• Number of pairs: 4 twisted pairs

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports of the two devices to be connected. Ensure connectors click into place and that device network interfaces are configured for the intended link (auto MDI/MDI-X or manual settings). For safety, route the cable to avoid sharp bends, high-tension pulls, and exposure to sources of heat or moisture. When disconnecting, press the RJ45 latch before pulling the connector to avoid damaging the plug.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.5e crossover cable for short-distance direct connections where a crossover pinout is required. For longer runs or environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider using shielded cables or higher-category cabling. Verify device support for crossover connections; many modern devices support automatic crossover detection (auto MDI/MDI-X) and may not require a dedicated crossover cable.
