Ready-made patch cable for direct device links
This Belkin CAT5e cable arrives terminated with RJ45 male connectors at both ends, so it is ready to plug straight into two network ports. The seven-foot orange jacket makes the run easy to spot in a busy rack or behind a desk. It is built for crossover wiring that connects hub-to-hub, PC-to-PC or Mac-to-Mac without an intermediate switch. No configuration is required beyond inserting the plugs.
Passive design keeps thermals and noise at zero
Because the cable carries only copper conductors and no active electronics, it generates no heat and makes no sound during operation. Power draw is effectively nil, so it adds nothing to the load on a PoE injector or switch port. The unshielded twisted-pair construction meets the CAT5e performance class without requiring grounding or special earthing. Routing it alongside power cords does not introduce audible interference.
Molded strain relief protects daily plug cycles
Each connector features a molded boot that grips the cable jacket, reducing the chance of wire fatigue when the patch lead is moved or unplugged repeatedly. The orange PVC sheath resists kinking and is flexible enough to follow tight cable-management channels. Unshielded design means the cable is lighter and easier to bundle than screened alternatives, though it offers no protection against strong external EMI. Connectors are standard RJ45, so they fit any 8P8C port without adapters.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Belkin A3X126-07-ORG crossover cable, and which step do people often get wrong?
Plug each RJ45 Male connector into the Ethernet ports of the two devices you want to link directly, such as PC-to-PC or Hub-to-Hub. The common mistake is using it for a standard device-to-router connection where a straight-through cable is required.
What maintenance or replacement will the Belkin A3X126-07-ORG cable need later?
No scheduled maintenance is required. Inspect the molded strain relief and RJ45 Male connectors periodically for physical damage or cracked plastic; replace the cable if the latch tabs break or the conductors become exposed.
What limit appears first on the Belkin A3X126-07-ORG cable under sustained use?
The 7 ft length fixes the maximum channel distance for this patch cable. Signal degradation or connector wear from repeated unplugging will become the practical limit before the Cat 5E rating itself is exceeded.
