Descriptions
An 180-degree RJ45 to RJ45 UTP 8P8C CAT5E inline coupler is a small device used to connect two Ethernet cables together, extending the length of a network cable. Here’s a breakdown of the terms:
- 180-degree: Refers to the connectors. In this context, it usually means that the coupler connects the two cables in a straight line without any angling or turning.
- RJ45: The standard type of connector used for Ethernet networking.
- UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): A type of cable that uses pairs of wires twisted together to reduce interference without additional shielding.
- 8P8C (8 Positions, 8 Contacts): Describes the configuration of the RJ45 connector, which has 8 positions for pins and 8 contacts, making it compatible with Ethernet cables.
- CAT5E (Category 5 Enhanced): A standard for network cables that supports up to 1 Gbps (gigabit per second) speeds and improved crosstalk specifications compared to its predecessor, CAT5.
- Inline coupler: A device designed to join two Ethernet cables end-to-end.
So, this coupler is used to extend Ethernet cables by connecting two CAT5E UTP cables together in a straightforward, inline manner.
Main Features
The main feature of an 180-degree RJ45 to RJ45 UTP 8P8C CAT5E inline coupler is its ability to extend the length of an Ethernet cable by directly connecting two Ethernet cables together. Key features include:
- Extension of Network Cables: It allows for the simple and effective extension of Ethernet cables without needing to rewire or replace existing cabling.
- Compatibility: It is compatible with CAT5E cables, which support gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for most home and office networking needs.
- Ease of Use: The coupler provides a plug-and-play solution; simply plug the RJ45 connectors of two Ethernet cables into the coupler, and the connection is established.
- Straight-through Connection: The 180-degree design ensures a straight, inline connection without altering the cables.
- Durability and Reliability: Designed to maintain the integrity of the network connection, ensuring minimal signal loss or interference.
These features make the inline coupler a practical tool for network setup, maintenance, and expansion.
