IN-CAT6A-COUPLER-S1 - Startech SHIELDED RJ45 COUPLER, INLINE CAT6A COUPLER, FEMALE TO FEMALE (F) T568B PINOUT

The STARTECH IN-CAT6A-COUPLER-S1 is a shielded RJ45 coupler designed for extending Ethernet cable runs in business and IT environments. This inline, female-to-female coupler facilitates the connection of two separate Ethernet cables, effectively lengthening a network segment without requiring new cable pulls. It supports a range of network speeds, including 10/100/1000 Mbps, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G, making it suitable for various current and future network infrastructures. Its shielded metal and ABS housing provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in data centers, server rooms, or industrial settings where EMI can be prevalent. The coupler features gold-plated RJ45 contacts to ensure optimal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, contributing to long-term network reliability. It is compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a cables and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing for the extension of PoE connections to devices such as network cameras, access points, or routers.
