Goobay CAT 5 RJ45 2xF 1:1 CLIP

The Goobay CAT 5 RJ45 2xF 1:1 CLIP is a compact network adapter designed to provide reliable wired Ethernet connections using CAT5 cabling. It features two RJ45 female connectors arranged in a 1:1 wiring configuration to maintain straight-through pin mapping, enabling simple extension or inline coupling of standard network cables without changing signal pairs. The product is intended for home or small office environments where a straightforward, low-profile solution is needed to connect or extend network segments with minimal fuss.

Advantages

This adapter maintains direct 1:1 pin correspondence for transparent data transmission and minimal signal alteration. Its dual RJ45 female ports allow quick inline connection of two Ethernet cables, reducing the need for re-terminating or replacing existing leads. The compact, robust housing supports repeated insertions and provides a stable mechanical connection for CAT5 networks. The design is compatible with common networking devices and cabling, offering a practical means to join or extend Ethernet runs while keeping wiring straightforward.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Extending existing CAT5 Ethernet cables in homes and offices
• Inline coupling of two patch cables for short temporary connections
• Connecting wall outlet leads to patch cables without re-terminating
• Simple repairs or interim solutions during network reconfiguration

Key specifications

• Connector type: two RJ45 female ports
• Wiring: 1:1 straight-through pin mapping
• Cable category support: CAT5 (backward compatible with lower categories)
• Usage environment: indoor, low-voltage Ethernet installations
• Housing: compact, durable plastic enclosure

How to use

Insert one terminated CAT5 patch cable into each RJ45 female port, ensuring the clips engage securely. The 1:1 wiring preserves the original pair assignments, so no additional configuration is required at the connector. Use the adapter inline between two cable segments where a short, passive coupling is needed. For stable installations, avoid placing strain on the adapter or the connected cables and position it where it will not be frequently disturbed.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use with properly terminated CAT5 cables and keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet distance limits. Avoid exposure to moisture and extreme temperatures; this adapter is intended for indoor use only. If higher network speeds or enhanced shielding are required, consider using adapters or components specified for CAT5e/CAT6 standards.
