Black Box FM693 Shielded CAT6 Keystone Coupler
Overview
The Black Box FM693 is a shielded CAT6 keystone coupler designed to join two CAT6 Ethernet cables without requiring a patch panel. This straight-pin coupler is essential for extending existing network runs or creating custom-length cables in environments where signal integrity is critical, such as industrial settings or areas with high electromagnetic interference. Its shielded construction protects against EMI/RFI, ensuring cleaner data transmission for surveillance systems or critical network infrastructure. The FM693 model is black, aiding in cable management and identification.
Compatibility
This keystone coupler is designed for use with standard CAT6 Ethernet cables. It accepts RJ45 connectors on both ends and is compatible with any standard keystone wall plates or patch panels that support RJ45 keystone jacks. It is suitable for use with any network device that utilizes CAT6 cabling, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations.
Installation Notes
Installation involves simply pushing the RJ45 connectors of two CAT6 cables into the front and back of the coupler. Ensure both cables are properly terminated to CAT6 standards for optimal performance. The shielded design requires proper grounding to be effective; ensure the coupler is seated in a shielded keystone jack or wall plate that is connected to your network's grounding system.
