Description of 24AWG Cat6 500MHz Crossover Ethernet Bare Copper Network Cable
This high bandwidth, CAT6 Crossover cables can be used to direct connection of two computers for data transfer. Data transfer software may be required. Can also be used as system link cable between X-Box video game consoles.
Some knowledges about network cables:
1)difference between Cat 5, Cat 5e and Cat 6:
The difference is in the bandwith ratings. Cat 5e has a higher bandwidth than Cat 5. Cat 6 has a higher rating than Cat 5e. They all use RJ45 connectors and are usually interchangeable depending on the bandwidth requirements of devices.
2)difference between UTP and STP:
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pairs.
STP stands for Shielded Twisted Pairs.
The ethernet standard uses data packet transmission and error correction. Unlike streaming data transmission, this standard simply buffers and repeats until it has a complete instruction set which compensates data transmission errors.
Since UTP was cheaper in the beginning, it generally became the standard. If you are using the cables for ethernet connections, either should work. If you are using for a stream data system like video tranmission, the shielded should be used.
3)For connecting devices to a router or switch, use the standard straight cables.For connecting devices directly to each other, use a "Crossover" cable.
4) This network cables are made to the highest standards and will support all current and emerging new technologies. means they support Power over Ethernet (POE) and they are Voice Over IP (VOIP) compliant
