Product Information
Full details
This Lindy RJ-45 inline coupler is designed for users needing to extend existing unshielded CAT6 network cables. It provides a simple, reliable solution for joining two RJ-45 cables without needing to replace the entire cable run. While it offers high-speed data transfer, it is specifically for unshielded cables and does not offer any shielding itself.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this RJ45 coupler?
Its main purpose is to extend the length of an existing unshielded CAT6 network cable by connecting two separate RJ45 cables together.
Can I use this coupler with shielded network cables?
No, this coupler is designed specifically for unshielded (UTP) cables and should not be used with shielded (STP) cables.
What network speeds does this coupler support?
It supports CAT6 specifications, meaning it can handle network speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, provided the connected cables and network devices also support these speeds.
How do I connect cables using this coupler?
Simply plug the male RJ45 end of one network cable into one female port of the coupler, and the male RJ45 end of another network cable into the second female port.
What is the warranty period for this product?
This Lindy RJ-45 coupler comes with a 2-year warranty.
What color is the coupler?
The product color is Grey.
Troubleshooting
No network connection after using the coupler
Verify that both connected cables are fully seated in the coupler and are functioning independently. Ensure both cables are unshielded CAT6 UTP cables. Check that your network devices (router, computer) are properly configured and powered on.
Slow network speeds or intermittent connectivity
Confirm that both connected cables meet CAT6 specifications and are free from damage. Ensure the coupler itself is not physically damaged. Try connecting the cables directly to rule out the coupler as the source of the issue. If problems persist, the issue may lie with the cables themselves or network equipment.
Coupler does not seem to fit the cable
Ensure you are using standard RJ45 male connectors. This coupler is not designed for non-standard or proprietary connectors. The fit should be snug but not require excessive force.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extends the reach of existing network cables easily.
- Supports high-speed CAT6 network performance (up to 10Gbps).
- Cost-effective solution compared to replacing long cables.
- Simple plug-and-play functionality.
- Reliable connection for unshielded UTP cables.
Cons
- Only compatible with unshielded cables; cannot be used with shielded STP cables.
- Does not provide additional shielding for the connection point.
- Adds a physical connection point which can be a minor point of failure.
- Does not boost or amplify the network signal, only extends it.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both the existing network cable and the cable you intend to connect are unshielded CAT6 (or lower category like CAT5e) UTP cables with standard RJ45 connectors.
- Plug the male RJ45 connector of your first cable into one female port of the coupler.
- Plug the male RJ45 connector of your second cable into the other female port of the coupler.
- Your extended network cable is now ready for use.
Compatibility:
- Cable Type: Compatible with UTP CAT6 and lower category unshielded twisted pair cables (e.g., CAT5e, CAT5).
- Connector Type: RJ45 male connectors.
- Not Compatible With: Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables, or any non-Ethernet RJ connectors.
Care:
- Keep the coupler dry and away from extreme temperatures.
- Clean connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if they appear dusty.
- Avoid excessive force when plugging or unplugging cables to prevent damage to the connectors.
