Description

StarTech IN-CAT6-COUPLER-U1 RJ45 Inline Coupler

Overview

The StarTech IN-CAT6-COUPLER-U1 is a female-to-female inline connector designed to join two Cat6 Ethernet cables, extending your network reach without requiring a full cable replacement. This is crucial for installations where existing cable pathways are insufficient or where temporary extensions are needed for testing or staging. It maintains TIA-568-C.2 standards for reliable data transmission.

Compatibility

This coupler is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 cabling but is optimized for Cat6. It supports data rates up to 10Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including 2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T Ethernet standards (IEEE 802.3bz), as well as 10GBASE-T (IEEE 802.3ae). It is compatible with standard RJ45 Ethernet connections found on network switches, routers, and endpoint devices.

Installation Notes

The coupler features a polycarbonate housing and phosphor bronze contacts for durability. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F) and should be stored between -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). It is designed for indoor use with a humidity range of 15% to 65%.
