The Goobay CAT 5e RJ45 Coupler, part number 72361, connects two network cables fitted with RJ45 plugs, providing a practical solution for cable extensions and panel-mounted installations.

Its integrated flange allows the coupler to be installed in slot brackets, cable ducts, panels or equipment enclosures with a suitable cut-out. The two mounting holes have a spacing of 25 mm, and the necessary screws are included.

The internal 1:1 wiring maintains the standard arrangement of all eight contacts. Both RJ45 8P8C sockets feature gold-plated contacts for a reliable connection and improved resistance to corrosion.

The coupler supports CAT 5e network cabling, bandwidths up to 100 MHz and PoE+ power transmission in accordance with IEEE 802.3at.

Important note

This is an unshielded UTP coupler. When used with shielded network cables, it does not provide electrical continuity for the cable shielding.

Use cables and other network components of a compatible category to achieve the intended performance. Flange installation requires a suitable cut-out and 25 mm spacing between the mounting holes.
