The coupler accepts an RJ45 plug at each end, creating a continuous electrical connection that maintains CAT5e performance specifications for data transmission up to 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for extending existing network cable runs in offices, data centres, home networks and commercial AV installations, the coupler is particularly useful when a pre-made patch cable is too short to reach a switch, router or wall socket. The white ABS and polycarbonate housing measures 30mm long by 17mm wide by 22mm high, fitting discreetly behind desks, inside cable trays and within shallow wall boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP20 rating confirms protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm, making the coupler suitable for indoor environments but not for outdoor or damp locations. The RJ45 ports are oriented front-to-back rather than side-by-side, minimising the overall footprint when two cables are plugged in. The white finish blends with standard white or light-grey network infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026amp; polycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_4866238_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this support Gigabit Ethernet speeds?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
