C2G 26706

Overview

The C2G 26706 is a 14-foot Cat5e unshielded network crossover patch cable designed to connect two Ethernet devices directly without needing a switch or hub. It achieves this by crossing the transmit and receive pairs inside the cable, enabling peer-to-peer communication that is perfect for transferring large files, cloning hard drives, or performing network tests in both lab and field environments. The cable meets Cat5e TIA/EIA standards and features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors for reliable data transmission.

Key features

• Crossed pin configuration allows direct device-to-device connections without additional networking hardware
• Unshielded twisted pair design offers flexibility for easy routing and handling in tight spaces
• Durable PVC jacket protects against wear and provides strain relief for longer cable life
• Bright red jacket makes it easy to identify and trace the cable among other network lines
• RJ-45 male connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports on computers, routers, switches, and test equipment
• Certified to meet Cat5e TIA/EIA performance standards, ensuring consistent network performance

Connectivity and compatibility

This crossover cable is compatible with a wide range of Ethernet-enabled devices, including computers, routers, switches, gaming consoles, and network test equipment. Its RJ-45 connectors fit standard Ethernet ports, making it a versatile tool for IT professionals, gamers, and home users alike. The cable’s design supports direct communication between devices, which is especially useful when a network switch or hub is not available or practical.

Ideal uses and environments

The C2G 26706 is well suited for environments where quick, direct network connections are needed. It works well for IT technicians setting up or testing equipment on a workbench, gamers who want to establish low-latency connections for head-to-head sessions, and home users migrating data between computers. Its durable construction and flexible design also make it a reliable choice for workshops and offices where cables may be frequently moved or adjusted.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
