Renkforce RF-7116938 Cat 6a suojattu RJ45 inline-liitin, harmaa (RAL 7035)

Extend your 10-Gigabit network with a coupler that preserves the full 500 MHz bandwidth of Cat 6a cabling. The Renkforce RF-7116938 joins two shielded RJ45 patch cables in a straight-through, female-to-female inline body, so you can bridge longer runs without re-terminating or replacing existing infrastructure. Gold-plated 8P8C contacts and a shielded ABS housing keep alien crosstalk and EMI out of high-speed links, making it a dependable link for 10GBASE-T, 2.5G/5G Ethernet, and every legacy speed below it.

Overview

This is a single, grey (RAL 7035) RJ45 coupler built for Cat 6a networks. It accepts two standard RJ45 plugs and passes all eight conductors straight through, maintaining the twisted-pair geometry and shielding continuity required for 500 MHz performance. The compact inline form factor fits easily into wall outlets, patch panels, floor boxes, or simply in-line along a cable run. Because it is backward compatible, you can also use it to join Cat 6, Cat 5e, or Cat 5 cables when maximum speed is not required.

What stands out

• Full Cat 6a performance: 500 MHz bandwidth and 10GBASE-T support up to 100 m total link length.
• Shielded design: metalized ABS housing and shielded contacts suppress EMI and alien crosstalk in dense installations.
• Gold-plated 8P8C contacts: corrosion-resistant and low contact resistance for stable long-term connections.
• Straight-through inline coupler: no crossover, no electronics—just a transparent extension of your existing cabling.
• RAL 7035 light grey: matches standard network cabinets, faceplates, and structured cabling components.
• Backward compatible: works with Cat 6, Cat 5e, and Cat 5 patch cables for slower links.
