InLine Keystone RJ45 coupler jack to jack unshielded Cat.6A 8 pieces yellow

The InLine Keystone RJ45 coupler jack to jack unshielded Cat.6A 8 pieces yellow offers a practical solution for extending and connecting Ethernet patch cables within local area networks. Supplied in a convenient pack of eight, these unshielded Cat.6A couplers are designed to support structured cabling applications and reliable data transmission up to 10Gb/s at 500MHz. Featuring a compact plastic housing with a distinct yellow colour, they enable clear visual identification of specific lines in busy network cabinets, patch panels, and junction boxes.

Advantages

Using these Keystone couplers simplifies the process of extending existing network runs without the need to replace entire cables. Their standardized dimensions ensure broad compatibility with standard 19-inch empty patch panels and wall junction boxes. The bright yellow housing supports efficient cable management and colour-coding strategies, helping administrators quickly locate and maintain connections in complex network environments. With a 1:1 pin assignment and support for high-speed data rates, they maintain signal integrity for demanding networking tasks.

Suitable for

• Extending existing unshielded Ethernet patch cables and LAN cables
• Connecting network cables in 19-inch empty patch panels and junction boxes
• Colour-coding specific network lines in server rooms and wiring closets
• Supporting data transmission up to 10Gb/s in local area networks

When it may not be suitable

These couplers are unshielded U/UTP models and are generally not recommended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded STP cabling is strictly required. They are also designed specifically for standard Keystone cut-outs and will not fit proprietary or non-standard modular wall plates.

• RJ45 female to RJ45 female connector type
• Cat.6A performance supporting frequencies up to 500MHz
• Data transmission speeds up to 10Gb/s
• U/UTP unshielded design
• 1:1 pin assignment with 8P8C configuration
• Coloured plastic housing in yellow
• Standard dimensions with a width of 14.4 mm, length of 30 mm, and height of 20.55 mm
• Snap-in cut-out requirements of 16.7 mm height by 14.5 mm width
• Supplied in a pack of 8 pieces

How to use

To install the InLine Keystone coupler, simply insert the module into a compatible Keystone patch panel, wall outlet, or junction box cut-out until the retention clips snap securely into place. Once mounted, plug your standard RJ45 terminated Ethernet patch cables into both the front and rear female ports. Ensure that the cables are pushed in fully until a click is heard to guarantee a stable connection. The 1:1 pin assignment ensures straightforward pass-through of network signals without requiring crossover wiring.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing infrastructure utilizes unshielded U/UTP cabling to match these couplers
• Check the dimensions of your patch panel or wall box cut-outs to ensure compatibility with standard Keystone modules
• Assess whether Cat.6A performance and speeds up to 10Gb/s meet your networking requirements
• Confirm that a pack of 8 units matches the quantity needed for your installation project

Usage recommendations: Install these couplers in clean, indoor environments protected from excessive moisture and dust. Ensure cables connected to the couplers are properly strain-relieved to prevent physical stress on the Keystone snap-in mechanism.
