About this item

  • 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

Ease of use, just plug the cables on each where they should be and they work perfectly. They fit right and they are firm.Definitely would recommend them.

Bought this to enable a direct connection between my Mac and a NAS instead of going via a switch. Doing so cut the response times almost by half. Having a crossover adapter means I have a choice of existing cables to use depending on where I move my Mac/NAS, so it's more flexible solution than buying a crossover cable. Plus there are two adapters in the pack, and being bright red means I am much less likely to mislay them.

Einige eingebettete Systemen haben immer noch Ethernet-Chips, die kein MDI-X (also automatische Erkennung der Kabel-Belegung) unterstützen. Für solche Fälle ist dieser Zwischenstecker prima.

Would normally use two ethernet cables and an ethernet crossover connector. This deice works great when I only have a single ethernet cable.

Very nice & valuable acquisition of mine, it's better to keep this in my tool-bag, than coils of crossover cables. Pretty useful & it functions as intended.

Attach it to a standard network cable and it becomes a crossover. Works everytime as a crossover and has no issue. One small issue is that after about the 12th connection, it became a permanent attachment. I now can no longer remove it from the 7 foot cable it is attached to even with pliers and a large amount of force. Retention clip releases, but the RJ-45 is seemingly glued in now.
