User Manual
FAQ
What is the purpose of this Cat5e RJ45 modular inline coupler?
This coupler extends the length of Cat5e patch cables by connecting two male-terminated cables with its dual female RJ-45 connectors. It is designed for network installations where existing cables are too short, allowing you to avoid replacing entire cable runs while maintaining Ethernet signal integrity.
How many connectors does each coupler have, and what type are they?
Each coupler has two connectors, both RJ-45 Network - Female. This configuration accepts standard RJ-45 male plugs on both ends, making it ideal for joining two Cat5e cables securely without gender changers or adapters.
Is this coupler pack compatible with Cat5e Ethernet standards?
Yes, the coupler is compatible with Cat5e Ethernet standards, supporting network speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second when used with appropriate Cat5e cables. It is designed to maintain signal quality for reliable data transmission over extended connections.
What is included in the 10-pack, and what color are the couplers?
The pack includes 10 individual Cat5e RJ45 modular inline couplers, each with dual female RJ-45 connectors. All couplers are beige, a neutral color that matches common networking equipment and office environments for discreet integration.
Does this product come with a warranty, and what environmental certifications does it have?
Yes, it includes a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term reliability. It is also EU RoHS certified and complies with environmental standards such as RoHS 2, REACH, and WEEE, making it an environmentally friendly choice for network deployments.
Can I use this coupler for permanent network installations?
