Add-On ADD-C5EFCP-MT FTP Shielded Inline Coupler
Overview
The Add-On ADD-C5EFCP-MT is an FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) shielded inline coupler designed to extend existing Cat5e network cable runs. This device is critical in deployments where a single cable length is insufficient, such as in large facilities or complex surveillance system installations. By joining two shielded Cat5e cables, it maintains signal integrity and prevents electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) ingress, which is paramount for reliable data transmission in environments with high electrical noise or sensitive network traffic.
Compatibility
This coupler is specifically designed for Cat5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) and FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) Ethernet cables. It is compatible with standard RJ-45 connectors and is suitable for use with any network device that utilizes Cat5e cabling, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), switches, and access control systems. It ensures a seamless connection between two cable segments without compromising network speed or performance up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
Installation Notes
Ensure both Cat5e cables being joined are properly terminated with RJ-45 connectors and that the shielding is maintained and connected through the coupler for optimal performance. This inline coupler requires no external power and is a passive networking component. For best results, use with a shielded patch panel and shielded patch cords to maintain end-to-end shielding.
