RJ45 / UTP Coupler

RJ45 / UTP Coupler

An RJ45 coupler (also called a UTP coupler) is used to extend a network cable. This connects 2 network cables together. We offer high-quality couplers for Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat6 cables. Another way to extend your network cable is using our network extension cables.

Choosing an internet cable coupler: what should you look out for?

There are a number of things to look out for when buying an RJ45 coupler:

• Shielded (shielded) or unshielded (unshielded)
• Plug-and-Play or not
• Toolless or not

It's actually simple: just choose the RJ45 coupler that matches the cables you want to connect. So:

• Cat5e network cables > Cat5e coupler
• Cat6 network cables > Cat6 coupler
• Cat6a network cables > Cat6a coupler

This way, you can be sure that the quality of your cable is maintained at an optimum level with the right network connector.

Coupler or splitter?

Whereas an internet cable coupler is really meant to extend a cable, a T-splitter is used to turn 1 cable into 2 cables. For example, with our high-quality UTP splitter.
