Long crossover cable?
Hi there,
I need a long crossover cable to connect from my PC to the PS2. Is there anywhere I can get one? (6-8 metres if possible)?
Thanks.

Try Maplins. Last time I looked PCworld charged extortionate prices for cable, and didn't have decent lengths anyway. Maplins did stock decent lengths.

Try B&Q. Yes really!
B&Q seem to have very good prices on crossover cables for some reason. They tend to be cheaper than the non-crossed variety.
Look for the purple cables with a red band at each end.

Re: Long crossover cable?
Is that the correct cable to connect the PC to the PS2?

Re: Long crossover cable?
Only £3.75 at CPC but you'll have to add VAT and delivery (if your order is under £30). Or call into their trade counter - they're just off the M6 near Preston.

Re: Long crossover cable?
why not just buy normal cable ans a cross-over plug/adapter.
£3.99 maplin. p/n a07ab
Then you can use any cable you want. And you wont have a worthless crossover cable if you decide to use switches/router/hub
