DIGITUS DN-93613-1 CAT 6 Class E Shielded Modular Coupling RJ-45

The DIGITUS DN-93613-1 CAT 6 Class E Shielded Modular Coupling RJ-45 is designed for reliable network cable extension and panel connections. Featuring RJ-45 to RJ-45 ports with gold-plated contacts, ABS synthetic housing, and copper-nickel elements, it ensures stable signal transmission in structured cabling systems. Ideal for professional and home network installations requiring high performance and electromagnetic interference protection.

Advantages

The shielded modular coupling provides secure signal transmission by utilizing 360-degree shield contacting to minimize electromagnetic interference in demanding environments. Its durable construction incorporates a zinc die-cast nickel-plated housing and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, ensuring long-term reliability and resistance to wear during frequent connections. Furthermore, the standardized 1:1 pin assignment and support for Power over Ethernet standards make it a versatile component for modern structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Extending existing Ethernet network cables
• Connecting patch cables in structured cabling systems
• Network installations requiring Category 6 performance up to 250 MHz
• Power over Ethernet applications including PoE and PoE+
• 19-inch rack mounting and patch panel integration

When it may not be suitable

This modular coupling is not designed for outdoor environments or areas exposed to direct moisture without additional weatherproof housing. It may also be unnecessary for basic, low-speed network setups that do not utilize shielded cabling or require Category 6 transmission performance.

Key specifications

• Category 6 Class E transmission property
• Supports frequencies up to 250 MHz and 1GBase-T
• Equipped with 2 x RJ-45 sockets with 8P8C configuration
• 1:1 pin assignment
• 360° shield contacting
• Zinc die-cast nickel-plated housing
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze socket contacts
• Compatible with 22-26 AWG solid and stranded conductors
• Operating temperature range from -20°C to +70°C

How to use

To use the shielded modular coupling, insert standard RJ-45 network patch cables into both ends of the unit until the retention clips click securely into place. Ensure that the connected cables utilize compatible shielding to maintain continuous electromagnetic protection along the entire network link. When mounting into a patch panel or rack, align the coupling securely within the designated 19-inch mounting space to prevent undue mechanical strain on the connected cables.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network infrastructure utilizes shielded cables to benefit from the coupling's interference protection
• Check spatial requirements within your patch panel or rack installation
• Confirm that the transmission category matches your network speed requirements

Usage recommendations: Install the coupling in a clean, dry indoor environment within the specified operating temperature range and avoid exceeding the recommended insertion force and tensile load limits to ensure maximum connector longevity.
