Description of ๐Ÿ”Œ Cable Matters 2-Pack Crossover Adapter: Enhanced Connectivity with Crossover Cable Adapter

Crossover adapter allows network equipment to communicate with each other directly by connecting a Cat5 or Cat6 cable. Connect two workstations together to transfer files or share a printer; Connect a patch cable in the desired length to this adapter instead of using a long or short crossover cable. Cost-effective 2-Pack adapter converts a standard network patch cable to a crossover cable. Superior construction includes RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts in a sturdy housing; Raging red color makes identification easy in a crowded toolkit or desk drawer. Crossover wiring reverses the transmit TX pair, pins 1 and 2, and the receive RX pins 3 and 6, to allow two computers to communicate (see the wiring diagram above); Both connected devices may require network configuration in order to communicate.

Reliable performance.: Audio & Video Accessories

I bought a set of 2 thinking I'd lost mine in my giant IT tool bag. nope it was just hidden. Anyway, I gave it to some friends in my networking department because they didn't know it existed. They've used them multiple times with solid results every time. Saves a lot of time when you don't have a crossover cable to connect your router directly to your computer.

Pros
  • Audio & Video Accessories
Cons
  • Updates

Works great, one problem

Plug it into a standard network cable and it becomes a crossover. Works like a crossover every time and has no problems. A small problem is that it became a persistent application after about the 12th connection. Now I can't get it off the 7ft cable it's attached to, even with pliers and a lot of force. The retaining clip will release, but the RJ-45 appears to be glued on now.

Pros
  • Accessories and consumables
Cons
  • Expandable

The best solution is plugs and adapters

What if you need a crossover cable but can't find it? You don't need it very often, but when you do, it's usually a dire situation. I couldn't think of a good trick to keep the crossover cable handy. When I need it, I can't figure out where I put it. I've made this cable with my own hands so many times that I don't want to think about it. It's so easy I bought a few extra ones and gave them to my co-workers. Much better solution than full cable. This was tested by connecting two computersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • plugs and adapters
