C2G 5ft (1.5m) Cat5e Non-Booted Unshielded (UTP) Network Crossover Patch Cable, Yellow

The C2G 24504 is a Cat5e Ethernet crossover patch cable that measures 5 ft and uses a yellow jacket, making it easy to identify inside a rack or under a desk. Its crossed pin layout lets you connect two computers directly or link network devices that do not have an uplink port, so file transfers and quick configurations can happen without adding extra hardware.

Inside the cable, 24 AWG stranded copper conductors are arranged in bonded pairs that remain tightly twisted throughout the length. This design meets TIA/EIA Cat5e requirements, helping to lower impedance and structural return loss while keeping near end crosstalk to a minimum. The result is a stable, clear signal for everyday network tasks.

The jacket is made from PVC material that resists abrasion yet stays flexible with a slim 5.3 mm diameter, allowing easy routing through cable managers and tight corners. Because the connectors are unbooted, the latching tabs snap cleanly into place and slide through narrow openings without snagging, which simplifies installation in dense patch panels or equipment racks.

Field technicians rely on this crossover cable for bench testing, firmware updates, or quick data migration between systems. Home and small-office users often keep it on hand when they need to move large files from an old PC to a new one or when they want a short, direct link between two switches sitting side by side.

C2G backs the 24504 with a lifetime warranty and builds it to meet CE and REACH standards, so you can deploy it with confidence in commercial, educational, or residential environments.
