The kenable CAT5E RJ45 Straight Coupler is an essential networking tool for home and professional installers who need to extend their existing Ethernet runs without replacing entire cables. It offers reliable, gigabit-speed connectivity for data networking, CCTV, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) setups, featuring gold-plated contacts for enhanced signal integrity. While it provides a robust solution for extending reach, it is important to note that it is an unshielded connector, which may not be ideal for high-interference environments where shielded cabling is strictly required.

Yes, this coupler is designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.
This coupler is unshielded.
You can physically plug CAT6 cables into it, but the overall performance will be limited to CAT5E specifications.
It is a single-port coupler, featuring two RJ45 female sockets.
This product is designed for indoor use and should be protected from the elements.
The pins feature 50-micron gold plating to ensure high-quality connectivity.
Ensure both RJ45 cables are firmly clicked into the coupler and check that the cable ends are not damaged.
Verify that your total cable run length does not exceed 100 meters, as signal and power loss increase with distance.
Confirm that the cables connected on both sides are properly crimped CAT5E cables and not damaged patch cords.
To use the coupler, simply insert the RJ45 male connector of your first Ethernet cable into one side and the second into the opposite side until you hear a clear click. No specialized tools or software configuration are required.
Compatibility Note: This unit is specifically designed for CAT5E cabling. While it will physically accept CAT6 cables, you may experience performance limitations if your network environment requires the higher bandwidth capabilities of CAT6 or CAT6a standards.
Care Instructions: To ensure longevity, keep the coupler away from moisture and extreme heat. If the connection becomes loose or intermittent, check for debris or dust inside the socket; gently cleaning with compressed air can often restore a solid connection.
