The coupler accepts Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 solid-core cables and provides punch-down terminations on both sides, with a colour-coded wiring diagram printed on the top of the housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for fixed network installations in domestic, office and light commercial environments, the coupler suits situations where pre-terminated patch leads cannot reach or where a cable has been cut during building work and needs rejoining without replacing the entire run. The 63mm length and 26mm width allow the coupler to be surface-mounted or placed inside cable trunking, and it ships with cable ties for securing the incoming cables to the housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top label shows the T568A and T568B wiring standards in colour, allowing installers to match the wire pairs from both incoming cables to the correct punch-down positions. The white ABS housing measures 63 x 26 x 25mm and weighs 20g, making it straightforward to handle during installation. The coupler maintains the rated performance of Cat6 cabling when wired correctly, supporting Gigabit Ethernet over the joined cable run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26x63x25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.02\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable types does this coupler accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coupler is rated for solid-core Cat6, Cat5e and Cat5 network cables. It is not designed for stranded patch cable — use RJ45 inline couplers for joining patch leads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with termination tools?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. You will need a punch-down tool (Krone or 110-type) to terminate the cables into the coupler. The coupler ships with cable ties for strain relief but no tools or cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wiring standard should I follow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top label shows both T568A and T568B standards. Use whichever standard matches the rest of your installation, and ensure both sides of the coupler are wired to the same standard to maintain correct pin-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be used outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coupler has no IP rating and the ABS housing is not UV-stabilised, so it is intended for indoor installation only. For outdoor runs, use a weatherproof junction box enclosure around the coupler or specify an outdoor-rated inline connector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313483112715,"sku":"779.231UK","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/779231UK_LD1_e0bb41f9-cad1-417d-ac15-bc2bf1f2c53f.jpg?v=1715194048","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/av-link-cat6-inline-coupler-white","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
