You bought an internet cable and pulled it through the wall, but you find out that your internet cable is just too short. Annoying! What now?
Sometimes it happens that you have bought an internet cable and it turns out to be just too short. Very annoying and above all a waste of your time and money. The first thought will probably be to return it, but this is often not possible because the cable has already been pulled through the wall. Even if this is possible, it is often the more expensive solution. It is namely very easy to extend your existing internet cable, without data loss!
How do I extend an internet cable?
Your internet cable is easy to extend with our RJ45 connectors . Connectors are small blocks with an RJ45 internet input on both sides. These RJ45 internet inputs can also be found on your router, modem, PC and laptop, for example. You can easily connect your too short cable to the connector by pressing the connector into the RJ45 input as you do with your laptop or PC, for example. On the other side of the block you can still reach your goal with a shorter cable.

Using a coupler does not negatively affect your internet speed, so you will not suffer from data loss. Couplers, like RJ45 connectors, are available in different versions. For example, there are unshielded couplers, which you can use in combination with an unshielded (UTP) cable. There are also shielded couplers available, which you should use in combination with a shielded (FTP, S/FTP) cable.
