Black Box 7ft GigaBase Unshielded CAT5e Crossover Ethernet Cable (Red)

The Black Box EVCRB83-0007 is a seven-foot CAT5e crossover Ethernet cable from the GigaBase line, designed to create a direct link between two network devices that need crossover wiring, such as switch-to-switch or computer-to-computer connections. It is tested to 350 MHz and supports Gigabit Ethernet, so it moves large files, game traffic, and backup data without slowing the rest of the network.

Inside the red jacket you will find 24-AWG stranded conductors that add flexibility, making the cable easy to route in a rack or behind a desk. Each RJ-45 plug uses 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and keep signal loss to a minimum. Snagless boots cover the release clips, protecting them from snapping off during installation and adding extra strain relief when the cable is pulled or bent.

Whether you are an IT manager interconnecting two distribution switches, a technician setting up a temporary test bench, or a home user directly transferring files between two PCs, this cable provides a simple, dependable solution. The seven-foot length is long enough for most rack-to-rack or desk-to-desk runs yet short enough to avoid unnecessary coil-ups and clutter.
