Equip Cat.6A DIN Rail Inline Coupler, Shielded, RJ-45

The Equip Cat.6A DIN rail inline coupler is a professional-grade shielded RJ-45 connector designed for high-performance network installations. This flat-construction module provides a secure and reliable connection point for Ethernet cables within industrial control cabinets, server racks, and automation systems. By supporting Cat.6A standards, it ensures high-speed data transmission and maintains signal integrity even in demanding environments.

Advantages

This coupler offers a robust, fully shielded metal housing that effectively reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, protecting your data and equipment from line noise. Its compact, flat design saves valuable space in crowded control panels. The integrated mounting clip allows for quick, tool-free installation onto standard 35 mm DIN rails, significantly simplifying the setup process for structured cabling systems. Furthermore, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE and PoE+) applications, making it a versatile choice for powering connected network devices.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinets and automation systems
• Structured cabling in server racks
• Extending Ethernet connections in environments with high electrical noise
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) network deployments

When it may not be suitable

This coupler is specifically designed for DIN rail mounting and may not be suitable for standard wall-mount or desktop applications where a DIN rail is not present. It is also intended for indoor use and should not be installed in outdoor environments without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 Female to RJ-45 Female
• Performance standard: Cat.6A (compatible with Cat.5e and Cat.6)
• Frequency support: Up to 500 MHz
• Mounting: Standard 35 mm DIN rail
• Shielding: Fully shielded housing
• Power support: PoE and PoE+
• Dimensions: 46.6 mm x 19.5 mm x 31.3 mm

How to use

To install the coupler, simply align the integrated mounting clip with your standard 35 mm DIN rail and press firmly until it snaps into place. Once mounted, insert your Cat.6A, Cat.6, or Cat.5e patch cables into the RJ-45 female ports on either side of the coupler. No specialized tools are required for the connection, ensuring a quick and efficient setup for your network infrastructure.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your installation environment utilizes a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
• Verify that your existing patch cables are compatible with RJ-45 connectors.
• Check if your network equipment requires PoE support, as this coupler is fully compatible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and to maintain signal integrity, ensure that all connected patch cables are properly shielded and that the DIN rail itself is correctly grounded within the control cabinet.
