Laplink Ethernet High-Speed Transfer Cable Cat 5 7 ft Gray Shielded

Laplink Ethernet High-Speed Transfer Cable Cat 5 7

This shielded Cat 5 Ethernet cable measures seven feet and carries RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is designed for direct computer-to-computer data migration using Laplink PCmover software, which is not included. The grey jacket and shielding help reduce interference during transfers. Builders moving files between two PCs without a router or switch will find it a simple plug-and-play link.

Direct PC-to-PC migration link for PCmover users

The cable creates a dedicated wired path between two machines so migration software can move user profiles, applications and settings at network speed. No router, switch or existing network infrastructure is required, freeing up Wi-Fi bandwidth for other devices during the move. Both systems need an available RJ45 port and a compatible network interface card to reach the rated throughput. It is not suited for builders who need a permanent structured-cabling run or a connection to a network switch.

Sustained transfer behaviour on a dedicated link

Transfer rates reach 100+ Mbps and can peak at 1 Gbps, limited by the network interface cards in each computer rather than the cable itself. Because the link is point-to-point and shielded, performance remains steady over long migrations without the contention or signal drop-off seen on shared Wi-Fi. The seven-foot length keeps the two hosts close together, which suits desk-side migrations but not cross-room installations.
