The C2G 83543 is a 3-meter Cat6 crossover patch cable designed for direct server-to-server or switch-to-switch connections without the need for intermediate switching hardware. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and operates at frequencies up to 250 MHz, making it suitable for legacy networking infrastructure or specific point-to-point connectivity scenarios. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect against accidental disconnection and reduce strain on port contacts during high-density installations.
Typical applications include connecting two computers directly for file transfer, linking older network switches in cascade mode, or establishing dedicated links between servers in isolated lab environments. The black jacket resists UV degradation and blends into standard data center aesthetics. This cable is backward-compatible with Cat5e and earlier standards.
