Black Box FM593 Shielded CAT5E Keystone Coupler
Overview
The Black Box FM593 is a shielded CAT5E keystone coupler designed to join two RJ45 terminated Ethernet cables. This device is critical for extending existing network cable runs without requiring a full re-pull, maintaining signal integrity in environments where cable length limitations are a concern. Its shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring reliable data transmission for sensitive network applications, including surveillance systems and data networks.
Compatibility
This coupler is designed for use with standard CAT5E shielded Ethernet cables terminated with RJ45 connectors. It is compatible with any network device or patch panel featuring an RJ45 port, facilitating seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Specifically useful for extending runs to IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), or access control panels where the original cable length is insufficient.
Installation Notes
Installation involves simply plugging an RJ45 connector from one cable into each side of the coupler. Ensure both cables are properly terminated and shielded to maximize the effectiveness of the coupler's interference protection. The coupler itself does not require power or configuration.
