Couplings

Do you want to easily connect two network cables without additional tools or complicated installation? Then an RJ45 coupler is a smart solution. With this you can extend your existing cabling quickly and reliably. Whether you are working on a home network or a business setup, these intermediate pieces always come in handy.

What does an RJ45 coupler do?

An RJ45 coupler is used to connect two Ethernet cables with RJ45 plugs. It is often also called a UTP coupler or network coupler. You simply click the cables into both ends of the coupler and the network is reconnected. Useful for temporary situations or if a cable is just too short.

What types of RJ45 connectors are there?

There are different variants available that match the shielding and category of your network cables. For example, there are models for UTP, FTP and STP cabling. Depending on the cable category, you choose a connector that fits CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a or CAT7. Note that the performance is only maintained if the connector fits well with the cable type.

How to choose the right coupling piece

If you use it inside a home or office, a standard UTP model is usually sufficient. In environments with a lot of electrical interference or for outdoor use, a shielded version is more suitable. Always check the cable category and the network speed for which you are using it.
