Shaxon"s RJ45 to RJ45 Cross-over Category 6 7ft orange patch cables feature molded boots with a bump design for protecting the clip during usage and 24 awg stranded wire for repeated flexing and movement without micro-cracking of the copper. Shaxon"s molded patch cables use a short body plug design that minimizes de-twisting of the pairs during the manufacturing process, assuring the highest available performance and employ a flush boot that allows the cables to fit side by side in high density patch fields. Built to the cross-over specification to connect Hubs or similar devices that do not have an auto MDI-X port or directly connect host devices. Category 6 is a future forward networking standard, providing a backbone for transmission speeds up to 1000 Base-T and is backwards compatible with both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T. Category 6 is superior to Cat5E in bandwidth, signal to noise ratio and lower attenuation or signal loss at high frequencies. This product features a Lifetime warranty.
