Cable gender changer adapter InLine 92505D — RJ45 female to RJ45 female

The InLine 92505D RJ45 female-to-female adapter with two vertically aligned 8P8C sockets provides a space-saving, DIN-rail compatible solution for structured Ethernet wiring in control cabinets and test setups. Each RJ45 socket is separately routed to a 9‑pole screw terminal strip (8 signal pins plus shield) for fast, solder-free connections. The module accepts 16–26 AWG conductors, offers insulation resistance ≥ 10 MΩ at 300 V DC and a rated current of 1.0 A per pin, and is prepared for standard DIN top-hat rail mounting for secure installation.

Advantages

Two screw terminal blocks (each for 8 wires plus shield) allow quick, tool-assisted wiring without soldering, using a flat-head screwdriver ≤ 2.5 mm. The dual RJ45 interface with separate signal routing keeps parallel Ethernet lines isolated and organized while the compact vertical design reduces depth requirements in crowded enclosures. The unit is built for industrial use with tested short-circuit and miswiring protection, an EVA insulation layer on the underside, and a rated current suitable for continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Temporary Ethernet joins and on-site patching
• Industrial test rigs and laboratory setups with parallel network signals
• Redundancy line routing and failover wiring
• Space-constrained control cabinet installations

How to use

Mount the adapter onto a standard DIN top-hat rail using the pre-mounted clip. Route the Ethernet cables into the upward-facing RJ45 sockets. For wiring to the screw terminals, strip the conductor to appropriate length, insert each conductor into the numbered terminal (8 signals + shield) and secure with a flat-head screwdriver (≤ 2.5 mm). Verify correct pair assignment to match the RJ45 pinout and ensure the shield is connected where required. After wiring, check connections for continuity and secure mounting in the control cabinet.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for temporary joins, test connections, or redundancy lines rather than as a permanent field termination. Ensure wire gauge is within 16–26 AWG and keep operating voltage within specified limits. Regularly inspect connections in continuous industrial operation to maintain signal integrity.
