The Universal Network Cable
Any real Network Engineer at least once found him/herself in a lab without the right cable to use.

To them, all cables are the same. With Cortex Design Universal Network Cable Adapter UNC-01-MF the problem is solved just rotating a switch: 5 different cabling options are available at your fingertips (rolled, crossover, straight-through, ATM/loopback and T1). A must have tool in anyone’s networking toolkit.
