C2G 26709

Overview

The C2G 26709 is a Cat5e crossover patch cable designed to connect two Ethernet devices directly without the need for a hub or switch. Measuring 25 feet in length, it supports Gigabit speeds by crossing the transmit and receive pairs internally, allowing devices like computers or network switches to communicate efficiently. Its non-booted RJ-45 connectors and red PVC jacket make it practical for installations where space is tight and cable identification is important.

Key features

• Crossover wiring enables direct device-to-device connections, eliminating the need for additional networking hardware.
• Non-booted connectors allow the cable to fit easily through tight conduits and dense patch panels without snagging.
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain signal quality and support reliable data transfer up to Gigabit speeds.
• Red PVC jacket provides durability and makes the cable easy to identify in complex network setups.
• Constructed to meet TIA/EIA Cat5e standards, ensuring low crosstalk and return loss for stable connections.
• CE and REACH compliant, meeting important safety and environmental standards.
• Lifetime warranty from C2G offers long-term confidence in performance and durability.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is ideal for linking two Ethernet-enabled devices directly, such as computers, switches, or routers that require crossover connections. It works well in environments where quick peer-to-peer communication is needed without additional network infrastructure. The standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with virtually any Ethernet port.

Ideal uses and environments

The 26709 cable fits well in home labs, small office setups, and field technician toolkits where temporary or permanent direct device connections are necessary. Its length and flexible design make it suitable for network testing, switch uplink bypass, or direct file transfers between desktops. The red jacket helps network administrators quickly identify crossover cables among other network wiring.

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.
