Does what it says on the tin
If you ever need a cross over cable but can be bothered making one this little device turns any Cat5 cable into a cross over cable :-)

Fantastic Adaptor
I was using a Cisco switch with mdix for a single device due to it using a straight through connection which I needed converting to crossover. I wanted to get rid of the switch which was using power and overkill for one device. I replaced the entire switch with this crossover adapter and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend.

Decent, does the trick
Very useful for hooking up older devices and equipment that lack internal crossover. Unfortunately the adapters are a tad large which might end up blocking other ports on a computer. If you plan to use this to link older ethernet switches or hubs together, you may not be able to use an adjacent network port. Overall, a simple solution if you need to convert a patch cable into a crossover cable.

Does the job perfectly
Bought this to enable a direct connection between my Mac and a NAS instead of going via a switch. Doing so cut the response times almost by half. Having a crossover adapter means I have a choice of existing cables to use depending on where I move my Mac/NAS, so it's more flexible solution than buying a crossover cable. Plus there are two adapters in the pack, and being bright red means I am much less likely to mislay them.

Just as advertised

Badly designed
These crossover adapters may work under certain conditions but the design is such that for many applications they simply won’t fit. For example, if you are connecting to something like a network switch or hub using this device, you may not be able to plug anything into adjacent ports due to the large size of this device getting in the way. Additionally, the port I needed to plug this device into would not accept this device at all as the plug does not project far enough out of the red plastic casing for it to connect properly. My advice is to buy something else.

does not fit every device
The socket I needed to plug this device into would not accept it at all, as the plug does not project far enough out of the red plastic casing to connect properly.

These Cable Matters crossover adapters are perfect for quickly converting a standard Ethernet cable into a crossover cable. I used them to directly connect two devices without a switch, and they worked flawlessly—no configuration headaches, just plug and play. They feel well-made with solid connectors and no loose fit. Having a 2-pack is convenient so I can keep one in my bag and one in my toolbox. ✅ Pros: Instantly converts a straight-through cable to crossover No loss in speed—gigabit works fine Compact, durable, and affordable ❌ Cons: Easy to misplace since they’re small Bottom line: A simple, reliable solution for direct device-to-device networking.
