Couplings
An RJ45 coupler (also called a UTP coupler) is used to extend a network cable. This connects 2 network cables together. We offer high-quality couplers for Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6 cables. Another way to extend your network cable is by using our network extension cables.

Choosing an internet cable connector: what should you pay attention to?
There are a few things to consider when purchasing an RJ45 coupler:
- Shielded or unshielded
- Plug and Play or not
- Toolless or not
It's actually simple: just choose the RJ45 coupler that fits the cables you want to connect. So:
- Cat5e network cables > Cat5e coupler
- Cat6 network cables > Cat6 coupler
- Cat6a network cables > Cat6a coupler
This way you can be sure that the quality of your cable is optimally maintained with the right network connector.
Coupler or splitter?
Where a connector internet cable is really meant to extend a cable, you use a T-splitter to make 2 cables from 1 cable. For example with our high-quality UTP splitter .
