Direct PC-to-PC Link

This Cat6 crossover cable connects two computers directly without a hub or switch. It suits home users or technicians who need a simple peer-to-peer data transfer link between desktops or laptops. The orange jacket makes it easy to identify in a mixed cable bundle. It is also compatible as a system link cable for Xbox consoles.

550 MHz Bandwidth Headroom

The 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors support 550 MHz bandwidth for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet transfers. Each contact carries 50 µm gold plating for reliable signal integrity. The cable meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C fire safety standards requiring pure bare copper. It handles typical file-sharing and backup tasks between two machines comfortably.

Replaces Hub-Based Uplink

This cable removes the need for a separate switch or crossover adapter when linking two network ports directly. The jump is worth it when you want a dedicated, low-latency path between two PCs for large file moves or legacy LAN gaming. Buyers who need to connect a computer to a router or switch should choose a standard straight-through patch cable instead.

Questions about this item

Will the 550Mhz Cat6 crossover cable link my older 100Mhz Cat5e NICs directly without a switch?

Yes, the crossover wiring connects two PCs directly, and the Cat6 cable is backward compatible with Cat5e 100Mhz interfaces.

How can I verify the 24AWG pure copper cable is performing at its rated 550Mhz after I plug it in?

Run a cable certifier or the OS network speed test; a stable 1Gbps link with low CRC errors confirms the 550Mhz bandwidth.

Does the 50ft orange cable come with both RJ45 ends attached, or do I need separate connectors?

Both RJ45 ends are factory-terminated with 50µm gold contacts and snagless boots; no extra parts are required.
