## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you put 1 on each end or just 1 on 1 end?**
A: You install only on one end. To make a cross over cable you attach one of of these adapters to a regular straight through Ethernet cable

**Q: i have a cat 5 ethernet cable  going directly from my netgear router to my xbox 1 i want to play computer games through my xbox 1 do i need crossover**
A: No router to computer (Xbox) needs a straight cable.  A crossover is used for like devices (computer to computer/ switch to switch or hub).  Hope this helps

**Q: Does this work with cat7, I don't see why it wouldn't? I am just wanting to make sure before I buy.**
A: Yes it works. The only difference between cat6 and cat7 is the frequency the data is transferred at! :)

**Q: do i need software to make the transfer possible?**
A: The answer  above will  allow you to transfer files. NOT programs.  For that, you need PCmover by Laplink. They have versions  that come with a cable, but one of these adapters, and an ethernet patch cord will do the trick.
The software  is available  on Amazon,  and the version  without  the cable  is available  for direct  download  from  Amazon 


Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Work very well. Good price.
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 May 2024*

They work exactly as expected and are very reasonably priced. Installation is straight forward as it’s an attachment to an existing connector with no wiring required and got me out of a pinch with an alarm system.The service is exactly what was advertised.Would recommend. Nothing to fault.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Badly designed
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2024*

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.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Don't waste your money.
  

*by J***W on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2024*

The adapter doesn't do anything that you can't do yourself with a little googling, and appear to be for ornamental purposes only.
