UTP coupler DATACOM 4243 — 2×RJ45 8P8C Cat6, plastic

Inline UTP coupler DATACOM 4243 provides two female RJ45 (8P8C) Cat6 ports in a compact plastic housing for joining or extending Ethernet cables without tools. The coupler is unshielded and intended for Cat6 cabling; it can be mounted into an unpopulated panel or faceplate opening or used as a simple inline connector. Color: black.

Advantages

The DATACOM 4243 delivers a quick, tool-free method to connect two Ethernet cables while preserving Cat6 pair mapping. Its compact plastic body is lightweight and suitable for temporary or semi-permanent cable extensions. As an unshielded (UTP) coupler, it is appropriate for typical home and office environments where shielded connectors are not required.

Suitable for

• Extending or joining two Ethernet cables (RJ45 8P8C)

How to use

Align the RJ45 plug of each Ethernet cable with the female RJ45 ports on the coupler and insert until they click. Verify that pin mapping (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8) is preserved and that network link indicators on connected devices show a connection. The coupler may be placed into an unpopulated panel or faceplate opening if desired, or used as a standalone inline connector.

Usage recommendations

Use the coupler for short-term or non-critical extensions in environments without significant electromagnetic interference. For runs requiring shielding, higher performance over longer distances, or permanent installations, consider shielded connectors or properly terminated Cat6 patch panels and cables.
