Description

StarTech RJ45COUPLER RJ45 Coupler

Overview

The StarTech RJ45COUPLER is a passive inline coupler designed to extend the reach of existing Cat5e Ethernet patch cables. It provides a simple, direct connection point for joining two RJ45 terminated cables, eliminating the need to replace shorter cables with a single, longer one. This is particularly useful in fixed installations where cable runs might be just short of the required length, such as connecting network devices in a surveillance system or extending a network drop to a workstation. The beige color helps it blend with standard network cabling infrastructure.

Compatibility

This coupler is compatible with all 8-conductor Cat5e Ethernet patch cables. It functions as a pass-through connector, meaning it supports standard Ethernet networking protocols and speeds up to Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) as long as both connected cables meet Cat5e specifications. It is suitable for use with any network devices that utilize an RJ45 Ethernet port, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, and computers.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward: simply plug an existing Cat5e patch cable into one RJ45 port and another patch cable into the second RJ45 port. Ensure both cables are securely seated. The coupler itself requires no power or configuration. Its compact dimensions (2.4 in. length, 0.8 in. width, 1.3 in. height) allow it to fit easily behind equipment or in tight cable management spaces.
